MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY


OPEN


Life never ceases to amaze. The longer you live, the more surprised you can become. It’s nice. Feeling happy and smiling for simply no reason at all. Or because of the unexpected blessings that you suddenly find right there where you once never saw them. It’s a wonderful feeling living each day as a brand new ADVENTURE, open to what may come, willing to give everything a chance, because you never know when something might become one of the BEST things in your life.


Open your eyes. See what IS there. See the POSSIBILITIES. Imagine the POTENTIAL. Not everything will become something or be an experience you might want to repeat or relive, but everything will TEACH you about life and yourself and that is worth it. It is worth it because the more you learn, the more you GROW, and the more you grow, the more AWARE you are, in tune with yourself and your place in the world, which can ultimately be anything you want it to be.


You can DO anything you want to. It’s about believing you can and being willing to take the risk and stepping out there and challenging yourself. Opening yourself up to potential failure, yes, but also a higher possibility of success, because success WILL eventuate if you stay with your dream and give it your best. The world is a playground for the dreamers, for they are the pioneers of this life, the movers, the shakers, the ones who refuse to believe that anything can be “impossible”.


Open your heart. Accept the people that come into your life, whether they are reason, season, or lifetime. You do not have to determine what they are in this instant, but know that there is ALWAYS a purpose for someone [or something] when it happens, even if we never realize it until eons later. There is something in every interaction we have, always an impact, whether we are aware of it or not, and the more intuitive souls will recognize “moments” when they are.


Life is a wondrous thing. There is ALWAYS something that can surprise even the most hardened of souls. There is always something that can soften one, make a heart smile, cause a mind to open, and dreams to begin again. Not black or white and sometimes not even shades of grey, but brilliant streaks of colour, like a kaleidoscope of intense and infinite proportions it can be once you are OPEN to what is and can be, welcoming each new day like the amazing blessing that it is.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY


BEST DAYS

You may have had some AMAZING days in the past – days that will always be memories that you look back on with a smile in your soul. You may have had some UNFORGETTABLE days in the past – days that will forever be imprinted so deep on your heart that you will remember even at the most random of times. You may have had some BEAUTIFUL days in your past – days that made you feel so full of love and hope and joy that when you reminisce you can almost taste those feelings all over again.

But . . . The BEST days of your life are yet to COME!

There WILL be MORE amazing and unforgettable and beautiful days in your life . . . In your FUTURE. Those days are going to be even MORE wonderful than the ones you have ALREADY had. Not because they have yet to be, but because they hold PROMISE of the future, of what that future IS and will be. They give you something to look FORWARD to, even as you live in the NOW and allow yourself to be fully present in the experience of TODAY.

LIVE LIFE COMPLETELY . . .

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY


LIGHT UP THE WORLD


You were created for a PURPOSE. Your life has a MISSION. You were born to LIGHT UP the world. You were meant to make a DIFFERENCE.


You are UNIQUE. You are different from EVERYONE else. You stand ALONE in your gifts and abilities. You and only YOU can shine the light that resonates from your soul.


Smile. Laugh. Love. Live.


The glow of your smile can shimmer over any heart, filtering in down into the darkest of crevices, and spark another glow that could become a powerfully burning flame in the world. The sound of your laughter can pierce even the most distraught heart and turn on a smile that could become the next light spreading hope in the world. The way that you love can touch a heart once thought ice and long dead of all emotion and feeling, and create a desire to step out into the world again. The life that you live can be the example that someone else needs to know that everything will be ok, no matter what their world looks like now.


There is something IN you that has tremendous power for GROWTH. Not only for YOU, but for OTHERS. Live your life as a shining EXAMPLE of what a MIRACLE is. Light up the world with your smile. Light up the heavens with your laughter. Light up the souls around you with your love. Light up all that you can with your life.


You were created for a purpose. Your life has a mission. Make the most of who you are and what you have and the time you exist in to FULFIL your destiny of “light”.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

FIERCE

Never look at the “size” of a person and assume you know what they are made of or capable of being. Sometimes the most amazing things come in shapes and sizes we would never expect. And sometimes the fiercest of creatures are those we underestimate or overlook.

Just as a single smile can hold the light of the world in it, so can a creature so tiny be the most courageous you might ever encounter. As a single snowflake can indicate a coming storm, so can the smallest sting be the most dangerous you could ever receive.

Soul and heart are the TRUE measures of a person and you never know who they are until you get to know and understand them for just what they are and represent. The rarest souls can lie inside those we pass by every day, the most beautiful hearts hidden behind guarded interactions.

Learn to “see” with your SOUL, to connect on a level beyond the tangible. When you can do that, the world opens up in so many more and different ways, multiple dimensions of thought and living, enlightened to the real beauty of life.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

AMAZING THINGS

Sometimes we move through life so fast we do not give ourselves room to think, let alone breathe and “smell the roses”. Sometimes all the hustle is to cover up the fact that we are aching, the bustle to keep ourselves occupied from thinking. Sometimes we simply do not realize what we are doing until we suddenly stop for a moment and realize.

When we move so fast we can miss the things that are there for us, sometimes waiting, sometimes knocking on the glass, sometimes chasing after us, sometimes simply looking for the right moment. We might miss an opportunity we passed by so quickly we never even knew it was there. We might miss the stranger who could have become someone important given half a chance. We might miss what deep down we are truly seeking in keeping busy.

When we stop and allow our mind a moment of stillness we can hear that knocking, the pursuit, that little whisper inside telling us truths we might have been “running from”. We allow not just our mind rest, but our body too, allowing it opportunity to refresh as our soul renews. We can see what we’re doing to it and determine the steps to “right the wrong”.

Pausing, if only for what seems like a moment can be enough. It gives life a chance to “catch up” with the amazing things that it has been desirous of for you, the blessings He wants you to have, the opportunities that call for you alone. When you stop and rest you allow all the amazing things meant for you to finally reach you and when that happens, you can see your life start to change in new and different ways. Perhaps some you might not have thought to want or have again.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

PRETTY AMAZING

OPEN your eyes to the world you live in. Open your HEART to the blessings you have been given. Allow the WONDER of everything to seep through your soul.

Think of the MIRACLE of life. Think of all the POSSIBILITIES that exist. Know that you are BEAUTIFUL in this world filled with ugly.

Believe that everything happens for a REASON. Believe that you CAN make a difference. Embrace the experiences that life has given you and the love you are surrounded by.

He knows your heart. He knows your mind. He knows infinitely more about you than you could possibly fathom.

When you open yourself to the fullness of everything, open your mind to the potential of anything, and open your soul to believe in the glory of Him and all you have and are, you will see that life truly is pretty AMAZING. REVEL in that knowledge, that feeling, the emotion evoked in the core of your being. Revel in it and LIVE it – an amazing life!

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

GO, LIVE LIFE

Life is short and it is oh so very PRECIOUS. EVERY moment counts and every second matters. Everything you DO has cause and effect. Everything you SAY lingers in a heart or mind or time. Everything you ARE can change the world AROUND you.

SEE the world for what it is and then WORK on making the one YOU live in the way you WANT it to be as much as you can effect and have “power”. As you strive to become the BEST you possibly can, encourage OTHERS to their potential alongside you, showing them that there is ALWAYS hope and NOTHING is “impossible”, that life is a dream to be imagined and made REAL.

LIVE life as you strive, ENJOYING the “moments” that will become memories, GRATEFUL for the blessing of those kindred souls who journey with you and have come to mean more than you ever might have thought. As you open your heart and let your soul SMILE allow yourself simply to “be”, EMBRACING all that you are and will become, INVITING the future and opportunity for GROWTH, inspiring movement and momentum of vision and promise.

EVERYthing has PURPOSE. Every “chance” is a gift given, a mystery to unravel, a wonder to behold, a blessing to be shared. Every NEW day is another day to unlock potential, change in ways that might have once been unfathomable, experience the amazing in the “normal”, make a DIFFERENCE as only YOU can. RECOGNIZE it and take control, even as you let Him “lead”, understanding that every day is His gift to you, your “second chance” to live a life of choices that will create positive example to INSPIRE courage and “risk” in others to LIVE their lives as COMPLETELY as possible as well.
