You cannot see it, but beneath the skin there lies a heart so deep it could drown the ocean...you have no idea what this woman has been through...With so much love to give, knowing no other way to be but non-judgmental and unconditional, it has taken more abuse than a heart should, and now it is tired...her mind will not rest, not even for a second, scattered and shattered with more spaces and sights than reasonably existing in any one place...

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY
Sleep eludes, but sometimes in the quiet solitude of darkness there comes truth in our soul. Softly creeping, almost as if not to reopen emotion and wounds desperately trying to be healed, even as the soul tears are crying out to Him to give a new heart. Truth whispers and reminds to boldly chase your dreams, refusing to let another hold power over the heart that acts upon the desires embedded there since forever, because those dreams mean everything and hope is the only thread holding this soul to the world. Let not your unique soul slip away, but reveal and speak itself with daring and such passion that others cannot help but hear the heart hidden, knowing and understanding even the words unspoken. Allow such freedom of soul and self that random is expected, not always knowing what will come even as instinct might, tentatively holding open a fragile cocoon encased with ice and hardness because it still has faith and wants to believe that even if it hurts again, it has to be better than what was. The truth whispers as you've always been, wanting more, asking more, expecting more, knowing what beauty and light have been seen and can be again, strength more than can be imagined but not always needing to be proved, allowing self to simply be. Soul whispers be yourself, simply unapologetically, perfectly imperfect, uniquely beautiful, crazy wonderful, you as you are.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY
WHO YOU ARE
There are so many people willing to tell you who they think you should be and what they think you should do. IGNORE them. The ONLY person you should be listening to when it comes to who to be is YOU. YOU are the one who lives with your SOUL. YOU are the one who has to live YOUR life. YOU are the one who has to like who YOU are. Because YOU are the one who has to live with you ALL the time and be ABLE to.
In this day and age, being “different” is either sin or celebrated, hated or adored, as “fads” come and go and society changes on a whim. Regardless, who you ARE is NOT a “fad”, and unlike fashion, which “trends”, with often only the “highest” in society showcasing it, YOU are ALWAYS “in style” and NO one else will EVER be able to “be” you, no matter how hard they might try to, once they see you and realize just HOW special and precious your “one-of-a-kind” is.
You are “YOU”. Simply “YOU”. There is no other “label”; no way to describe you aside, because there are no words that can explain the depths and facets of the ever evolving creature that you are. One can only understand once they have known you, a privilege rare few have ever truly been allowed, but that more in the future will be given the chance to, albeit an opportunity still only “offered” a special select, because, even though the world now knows “of” you, you are careful whom you “share” yourself with.
The world will call you many things. Crazy. Mad. Genius. Dreamer. Weird. Strange. Different. You should be FLATTERED. You stand OUT. Everything the world “calls” you because you are YOU is what makes you IRREPLACEABLE. Everything about you, from your flaws to your quirks to your mind to your heart and soul, is BEAUTIFUL. And it is the greatest PRIVILEGE in the world to “simply be you”; as you are, without requiring explanation. Accept it. Embrace it. Love it. Be it. Be YOU.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY
MAINTAIN YOUR JOY
We are all not long for this world, so why NOT take JOY in it while you still have the chance. No matter how you are, no matter what your circumstances, there is always going to be someone better off than you, but there is also always going to be someone with much less than you.
When you find yourself in the depths of despair, your happy gone, LOOK around you. There is so much to live FOR. There are so many BLESSINGS waiting to be accepted. There are so many opportunities BOUNDLESS in your path. There is so much to SMILE about.
Life is GOOD. GOD is good. You are still alive to take PLEASURE in the world. You are still breathing to be able to make a DIFFERENCE. That difference might not be in your own life, but in that of ANOTHER who is struggling.
Stop hiding your smile and light up the world with it. You have no idea how many people think your smile is BEAUTIFUL. You have no idea how many people are ENCOURAGED by your smile. You have no idea how many people find that the world is a BRIGHTER place when you smile.
FIND your JOY and hold it CLOSE to your heart. Hold it close, so that when you feel heaviness in your soul it is right there for you to take comfort in, to remind you of all that you have and are and can be. Instead of letting yourself become a dark cloud MAINTAIN your joy and watch how your perspective CHANGES.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY
BEAUTIFUL MADNESS
No one is perfect. In fact, it is our IMPERFECTIONS that make us WHO we are, that make us BEAUTIFUL, that make us stand OUT. Besides, who wants to be perfect? If you’re perfect you never change, you never grow, and you never become better. And life is all about change, growth, and building on what is already there, layer upon layer, creating the complex and beautiful being that we are and were intended to be. Beauty is not in perfection; it is in IMperfection.
We all see the world differently. Therefore we each define the world and the way we experience it differently to everyone else. The world cannot be put into a small, square box, like some would will it, neat and clean and tidy and specifically labelled as something. Our DIFFERENCES make us unique. What some call “madness” others call “genius” and just because others have a certain perspective of you does not mean it is truth. All genius is discovered and created from what is always seen as “madness”.
Life is meant for LIVING. Dancing and laughing in the rain just because you can. Loving when all seems impossible, because the greatest happiness comes from dreaming and following our hearts. Taking the odds because you’d rather risk than play it safe. Standing OUTside the circle of others, because carving your own path is better than blending in and losing yourself.
Life is for making an IMPRESSION. On ALL whose paths you cross. And there is no greater impression left than that of one who KNOWS who they are, completely confident in it, striding through life with passion and purpose, imperfectly beautiful, the sparkle of mad genius like a halo around them, so wonderfully and unexpectedly different from the rest of the world that they are never forgotten, leaving a small part of themselves in the soul of all their lives touch.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY
THERE IS ALWAYS A SMILE
You might wake to sunshine or rain. Your first thought might be one of joy or despair. Your heart might be light or crushed. No matter how you wake, it’s the start of a brand NEW day.
Another day is another chance: To make the changes in your life that you want to see happen and bring about, to look for the light in the darkness and the hope in the torment, to KEEP going even if you feel like you cannot or do not want to, to find a SMILE and to give ANOTHER that blessing.
No matter how you wake, there is ALWAYS something out there to smile about. Always someone who can make you smile simply by thinking about them. Something that can happen to you that will make your smile grow wider and bigger. Something that can amaze you so much the memory of that smile imprints on your heart forever.
No matter how you wake, the thoughts in your head, what is going on in your life, remember that there is ALWAYS going to be a smile tucked away, even if you think not. You just have to shake your head, close your eyes and reopen them to look at the world in a different light, from a new perspective, see the beauty and let it touch your soul, having faith in the hope that your dreams are on their way to becoming tangible.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY
LOVE YOURSELF
Loving yourself – who you are, with all your flaws and scars, especially when you know your past, can be one of the HARDEST things to do. It is also one of the most NECESSARY in order to live a happy life and lead successfully by example. It might be something you struggle with EVERY day, but at least make the EFFORT to learn to love who you are. TRY to see what OTHERS see when they look at you, think of you, knowing how they talk about you to others in what you have done and inspire them to do.
Look at your reflection - into those eyes that have seen more than you might ever tell, and try to ACCEPT the soul staring back at you. You can see every weakness, every agony, every experience that has brought you to the now. You know every thought, every action, every word, done or undone, that was in your heart during those times. You know who you are and what you are capable of. You see the ugliness in the beauty that everyone else sees, but know that there cannot be light without darkness, purity without evil, heaven without hell.
You are a COMPLEX and intricate being - PERFECT in your imperfections, BEAUTIFUL with your flaws, COMPLETE without anyone else, and the ONLY one of you there is, was, or will be. Love the AMAZING miracle that you are, reveling that you are still ALIVE and able to live life, given every new day as another OPPORTUNITY to help others recognize the POTENTIAL in themselves and inspire them onto GREAT heights.
If you love yourself, the world will know. If you do NOT, they might not know for a time, but eventually they will. No matter what the world sees, thinks, or feels, YOU SHOULD LOVE YOURSELF, for YOU and no one else, to be able to let YOURSELF live life as fully and completely as you try to inspire others to do. Start with YOURSELF and lead by EXAMPLE.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY
CHANGE
Change can be scary. Change can be painful. But change can also be BEAUTIFUL.
Change gives you a chance to GROW. With growth comes REALIZATION and opportunities that might not have been otherwise. It creates a vacuum for everything WONDERFUL to manifest in your life. Once the pain has passed and the fear has faded, you will be able to see and acknowledge the beauty in the chance to start ANEW.
A butterfly is not born a butterfly, although it is always destined to BECOME one. In the same way, people are not born as they are - and not everyone makes it through life to the point where they reach the crossroads of change that will ultimately determine their destiny - but everyone has it IN them to be something more, to transform into something amazing and beautiful.
Change requires a period of “hibernation”, even as during that time you are exposed to the “elements” of the world that will try to destroy you and prevent you from becoming what you have it in you to BE. It demands SACRIFICE and dying to the “old” you, so that you can step forth a new creature, even as you are the “same”.
When your soul is ready to come forth and step “out” into the world again - at peace with itself and its creator, letting the joy of Him seep through every cell, trepidatious but trusting and believing, determined to let nothing and no one hold it back from fulfilling its purpose - the world will NOTICE. They will KNOW that something has changed and they will see that it is beautiful.
Change is a process we all go through. No matter how it looks, embrace it and BECOME.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY
IMPERFECT AND BEAUTIFUL
You are HUMAN. The “machine” that everyone used to see has “become” HUMAN. Machines are not perfect and humans even less. But that’s ok. Because it is inevitable that to be human is to be imperfect. We have emotions and feelings and thoughts that create a “flawed” stated of being within it. It is permanent.
NO ONE is perfect and to expect it of yourself or anyone else is unreasonable. That does not mean that one cannot set the standard high, but if you set it at “perfect” all will fall short. Yet when you set it thus you also give the opportunity to SHINE, to achieve excellence that might not have been attained before, the true potential of a soul revealed.
Even in IMperfection there IS perfection. Everyone perceives things differently and when others look at you they do not see what you do. They see the soul that has lit up, the sparkle that twinkles in your eyes when you smile in genuine happiness, the helping hand extended to others, the willingness to try despite all obstacles. They see BEAUTY in your imperfection and that to them might be “perfect”.
You are FLAWED. But your flaws make you YOU. They add to your uniqueness. They all come together with everything else that is you, a being created for His glory, to create something that is “flawless” in its imperfection. Flaws give us a chance to improve, to learn and GROW as we strive to become all we are meant to be. They are the “steps” we climb and conquer on our way to “perfection”.
Everything about you is SPECIAL. Imperfect and flawed as you are, you are PRECIOUS. Your soul means so much, even if sometimes you might not think so. You are your own brand of beautiful. You just need to learn to ACCEPT that imperfect does not mean you are not worthy, that flaws do not mean you are not wonderful, and that you are BEAUTIFUL in only the way that you can be. So accept it and just BE.

If you have a dream, let no one take it from you!
Have you ever had a dream? Of course you have. We all have dreams. We all have goals. We all aspire to do and be something. Don’t we? If you don’t, then you should. Dreams keep one alive. They keep them striving for the stars, reaching for something, a never-ending quest to achieve that final success. If you have a dream, you should never, ever let go. Hold onto it. Keep it tight, safe, close to your heart. Let it be the light that keeps you through the darkness. Let it be the comfort on the cold and lonely nights. Hold it in your heart, your soul, your very being. Let it infuse through you, filling you, until it is all that you can think about. Let it consume you, possess you, and keep you driving forward. Let it be a guide, to help you find your way. Keep it ever with you, always there, never straying, holding you to something higher. Let it give you purpose. Let it stoke the fires of passion in your soul. Let it breathe life into you. Dreams are wonderful things, fantasies that keep men alive, and drive the very nature of the beast. Dreams are beautiful, precious. They are the wind that floats the sails of the ship on the furthest sea, the saving grace from death. Dreams give us something to live for, something worthwhile to keep on seeking, until we find that final destination, reach that final stairway to heaven. Companion. Comfort. Motivation. Discipline. Desire. Fulfillment. That is what dreams are. If you have a dream, let no one take it from you. Let no one tell you it cannot be done. Let no one wear you down and beat it from you. Dream and live, and live and dream. Always.
