2012 | Day 332: HAVE FAITH

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

HAVE FAITH

Worry takes away time. It ages your soul. It creates tears in your mind. It uses space that could be better occupied.

Worrying does not get you anywhere. Worry of what might happen. Worry of the future. Worry of whether or not you are following the right path. All these worries, and for what?

Worry destroys the time you have been blessed with by taking your heart’s eyes off what is happening in the NOW, seeing instead of happiness everything that could possibly go wrong, envisioning the disaster that might occur, remembering the past and forgetting that this is NOT it. Worry takes us from the present into either the past or the future, one that is gone forever and the other not yet upon us, causing us to cease to live in the present. And the PRESENT is what is important, for we cannot change the past nor predict the future, but we CAN control what we are doing NOW.

Worry solves nothing. It does not do a soul good. It does not create harmony in one’s heart and mind. It serves no purpose but to create problems where there are none.

A little trepidation about what is to come is natural, but we need not worry about [nor fear] it. Instead, have a little FAITH that you are right where you are SUPPOSED to be at this point in your life, surrounded by the people you are MEANT to be surrounded with, loved by the one your life has been leading you TOWARDS, writing a future that holds nothing but GREATNESS.

Faith gives HOPE to a soul. It supersedes all worry and fear, giving you calm inside your inner essence that everything will turn out all right, knowing that God would NOT have brought you to this place if He had not intended you to learn or become something from it, if He did not think you could not handle it.

Faith is a POWERFUL tool, a weapon against the worry that seeks to destroy you. It allows you to see the light in the darkness, be able to take that first step out into the unknown, trust that your soul knows what it’s doing, and that your instinct will not lead you wrong. LET yourself have faith and TRUST in it. Trust in yourself and in Him, and know that the world is a wonderful place where ANYthing is possible and dreams DO come true.

"'For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

"Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. IMPOSSIBLE is nothing. How are you going to live your life?" - U.S. Army

"I succeed because I am willing to do the things you are not. I will fight against the odds. I will sacrifice. I am not shacked by fear, insecurity or doubt. I feel those emotions but I drink them in and swallow them away to the blackness of hell. I am motivated by accomplishment, not pride. Pride consumes the weak and kills their heart from inside. If I fall... I will get up. If I am beaten... I will return. I will never give up... EVER." - Nike

"The biggest risk in life is to risk nothing at all." - Anonymous

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light not our darkness that frightens us. Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn’t serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. As we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give others permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence actually liberates others." - Marianne Williamson

"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat." - Theodore Roosevelt

"It’s not about what you’ve got; it’s about what you DO with what you’ve got.” – Andie West, Step Up 2: The Streets

"To give anything less than your best is to sacrifice the gift." – Steve Prefontaine

"Never, never, never, never give up." - Winston Churchill

"Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It's a very mean and nasty place, and I don't care how tough you are, it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't about how hard you hit. It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward; how much you can take and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done! Now, if you know what you're worth, then go out and get what you're worth. But you gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers saying you ain't where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody. Cowards do that and that ain't you. You're better than that!...until you start believing in yourself, you ain't gonna have a life...Cause if you're willing to go through all the battling you got to go through to get where you want to get, who's got the right to stop you? I mean maybe some of you guys got something you never finished, something you really want to do, something you never said to someone, something...and you're told no, even after you paid your dues? Who's got the right to tell you that, who? Nobody! It's your right to listen to your gut, it ain't nobody's right to say no after you earned the right to be where you want to be and do what you want to do!...You know, the older I get the more things I gotta leave behind, that's life. The only thing I'm asking you guys to leave on the table...is what's right." - Rocky Balboa

"Strength does not come from winning. Your struggles develop your strengths. When you go through hardships and decide not to surrender, that is strength." - Arnold Schwarzenegger

"Nothing in the world is permanent and we are foolish when we ask anything to last, but surely we are still more foolish not to take delight in it while we have it." – William Somerset Maughan

"There comes a time when you have to stand up and shout: This is me damn it! I look the way I look, think the way I think, feel the way I feel, love the way I love! I am a whole complex package. Take me... or leave me. Accept me - or walk away! Do not try to make me feel like less of a person, just because I don't fit your idea of who I should be and don't try to change me to fit your mold. If I need to change, I alone will make that decision. When you are strong enough to love yourself 100%, good and bad - you will be amazed at the opportunities that life presents you." - Stacey Charter
