MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY


HOW MUCH DIFFERENCE WE MAKE

Just because we are alive does not give us the right to live selfishly - well, we have that CHOICE, but it’s not our PURPOSE here. We are alive for a mission - our purpose is to help OTHERS become better, whether we do that through sharing our life’s story and message and experiences, or just aiding another with something they are new to, struggling with, need, and more.


We are here to help each other THROUGH life, so that we ALL become better than we were, moulded into the people we are MEANT to be, an ultimate version of ourselves.


When you speak or act, don’t do it to see what you can get out of a situation, but to see what you can GIVE to a situation. You may never know the full truth of anything, or how your interaction with those involved will change the course of events - if it does. Every word, every action, conscious and unconscious, has an impact, whether we know it or not. We may never see the results of that impact - it could be small or it could be great, but it is MADE; and once we have done something it cannot be UNdone.


Once you realize that life is not for living only for you, your whole perspective can CHANGE. Especially as you realize that living with a purpose makes a difference not only in others’ lives, but in YOURS as well.


To quote Rick Warren, “Living on purpose is the only way to really live. Everything else is just existing.”

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

THE MAGIC OF BEGINNINGS

It’s the dawn of a new year, a new era, a new age. It’s the time for a fresh start, a clean slate, a new opportunity, a BEGINNING. It’s the moment to let go of everything that has gone before, accepting that it has moulded you in experience to be part of your testimony, but that it no longer has any power over you or in your life; no strongholds that it can hide in to ambush you at a later date. It’s the day that you EMBRACE the destiny that awaits you.

Your soul knows when it’s time, the start of a new year or not. It may have known for a while and yet you still found it clinging to remnants past, but now it’s time to walk AWAY from all that; everything that has caused destruction and despair and tears. It’s time to step into something NEW, full of opportunity and the promise of dreams, with renewed hope for a wish your heart has long held onto, the glimpse of your reality a dream no longer so far out of reach.

You KNOW and your soul rejoices, flooding final healing through your being much as the ocean washes over the shore and leaves the sand smooth and unbroken. The light that spreads through your essence is from the lifting of the darkness of everything that was “tainting” your soul - the burdens you took on that you should never have, the hurts that wounded you far more than you ever would admit, the toxic people you had let into your life - forgiving yourself and releasing it all.

TRUST your soul, those whispers in its depths, and know that it only wants what is best for you, instinctively already knowing what you need and what must happen for it to be. There is a magic in your soul that wants to be let out, given life with your first breaths of the new dawn and the aspirations that whirl inside your mind. Every “new” beginning is another evolution of your soul, one step closer to the ULTIMATE you, even as you always seek to become better and never should want to stop “becoming”.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

JUST BE BETTER

It’s not about being better than anyone ELSE. It’s about being a better YOU. It’s about being better than you were the DAY before, the HOUR before, the MINUTE before. It’s about striving for CONSTANT IMPROVEMENT IN YOURSELF.

Everything done should have a PURPOSE. That purpose should provide a step not only towards your goals and dreams, but in making you into the person you were MEANT to be. And the person you are meant to be is an ULTIMATE version of you; a constant journey of BECOMING BETTER.

It doesn’t matter what anyone else is doing. It doesn’t matter what anyone else looks like. It doesn’t matter what anyone else thinks YOU should do and be. What matters is that YOU are following YOUR heart and working towards YOUR dreams, and your dreams are making you BETTER.

Use the time you have NOW. Not in the future, nor living in the past. Live in the NOW and create the BEST opportunities for you to evolve into a HIGHER being, throwing all limitations ASIDE and ignoring any negativity from those who seek not to support or encourage your personal and spiritual GROWTH.

Life is a journey. No, it’s not JUST about you, but if you do not focus on you and becoming the BEST you that YOU can be, you cannot possibly give of your best and help anyone else become the best that THEY can be. Your life is an EXAMPLE to inspire and motivate OTHERS into becoming BETTER.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

CHANGING YOUR THINKING

It’s a lot harder than it sounds, to change your thinking, for your thoughts are a culmination of years of processes, mountains of turmoil, lifetimes of pain and experience all moulding your mind, setting your beliefs and foundations for how you live your life and are, consciously and unconsciously, every little thing having an effect on our psyche. But you cannot change a BEHAVIOUR without FIRST changing the THOUGHT behind it, the motivating force pushing for that change, because no matter how much you WANT to change and be different, someone else, a new creature forged from fire and ice, you will never be completely anew unless you let GO of your old ways of thinking and embrace the NEW.

A negative person does not instantly become positive. An unhappy individual is not transformed by happiness overnight. Those who hate are not filled with love as if it were something they could merely purchase for the asking. It takes a lot of CONCENTRATED time AND effort to CHANGE oneself, especially if the changes sought are so drastic.

It takes a lifetime to UNlearn another lifetime of learning, lessons well taught, so deep that they are a part of yourself and to seek them out for destruction or replacement is difficult, for the mind may not want to let go of them, comfortable in its knowledge of those patterns, unwilling to harbour something different and unknown. But GROWTH comes with a price, and that price is the RELEASE of the old, sometimes things that have kept us going and allowed us to survive for so long, and if you are not prepared to make that sacrifice, even if it is going to make you BETTER, then only YOU will miss out on the blessings that await your new life.

It might take time, and sometimes that time is an eternity, but be PATIENT and PERSEVERE, for in the end you know the end result WILL be WORTH it, the effort and pain of change, the call to arms of encouragement and support in that change, and the journey that continues to mould you for the greater good. Change to make a DIFFERENCE, not just because you feel the “need” to, but when you NEED to.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

YOUR GREATEST TEST

Sometimes life can hurt so hard that you want to disappear in your pain. Sometimes it can hit so hard that you want nothing but to fade into oblivion until it is over. Sometimes it can test so hard that you wonder just how much strength you need and how many lessons you need to learn.

Every hurt, every hit, every test – it’s ALL a “test” of sorts. A test of CHARACTER, of STRENGTH, of DISCIPLINE, of COURAGE, of DESIRE – to see how badly you want to LIVE and what you WANT out of life.

You may not feel like it, but you smile when there are tears in your soul, and others see that smile and smile too, thinking that life is wonderful. You may be speaking to yourself when you speak “motivationally”, words to inspire and encourage and remind that life is to be lived and hurts to be let go and to keep moving forward, and others hear those words and are inspired, wondering how you could have “known” what they’re going through. You may be going through your own storms, but you continue to do what you do and no one might ever know, and in helping others, even if only to “fill space” or “do something” to take your mind off the storm, you bless them, but also, whether you know it or not, begin to plant the seeds of difference, not just in their lives, but in yours.

Never underestimate the smile of a stranger, or even someone you know, the words one says or does not say, the outstretched hand that offers to help, for you never know what the soul giving them is going through, or how much courage and strength it might be taking to make such a simple gesture. And if that soul is you, know that although you might do this as a “way through”, DOING it means that you STILL have HOPE, and when there is hope it means that life can be “believed” in again, your fire can be “reset” alight, and YOUR “happy ending” is not out of reach.

2013 | Day 85: BETTER THAN YOU THINK

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

BETTER THAN YOU THINK

You might feel like you are not doing much; that you are floundering when you should be swimming; as if you are falling short of all expectation. Such feelings create disappointment in yourself, that you are not living up to your standard, like you are not trying hard enough, as if what you are doing is little compared to what you should be doing. All that is a FEELING and feelings are not always reality; they are our perception of a situation and not always THE “truth” of it.

If you ARE giving it your all, doing what you can when you can, no matter how you feel, whatever is thrown at you, even if you stumble or fall sometimes, then you are doing BETTER than you think. Others may comment on your progress and you do not “hear” them because you do not see the way they do, but take the time to LISTEN, because sometimes we all need to know that we’re doing all right.

No matter how hard we try we can sometimes feel like we’re not doing ENOUGH, and being told does not change that feeling, and we have to understand that our best is our BEST and we cannot do MORE than that. If you’re giving it your “all”, then you ARE doing better than you THINK, so give yourself a little room to breathe and ease back on the pressure you’re applying to your heart.

Take some space to step BACK and “see” the bigger picture; to understand what you HAVE done, even if you know you have a ways to go. NOTHING great is achieved overnight and sometimes it takes time to see the REAL fruits of your labour; know in your soul, that in the end, what you have been working towards WILL manifest. Until then, realize that you are doing better than you THINK and KEEP doing what you’re doing.

2012 | Day 273: MAKE A DIFFERENCE

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

MAKE A DIFFERENCE

YOU have the POWER to make a DIFFERENCE in LIVES – your own and those of others. Use that power WISELY – it can make OR break a soul. Make a POSITIVE difference – leave your mark IMPRINTED on their soul so deep that they will NEVER forget who you are and what you have done. You might never KNOW about the difference you have made – you are not living for accolades of what you have done and knowing that you TRIED can help your OWN soul.

You CAN make a DIFFERENCE – determine that you WILL make that difference. Determine that the difference you make will leave a SMILE in the hearts of those your soul touches. Every soul you touch has its own story – aim to leave it BETTER than it was and in a condition that they can pass the love ONTO others.

Never UNDERestimate the POWER of LOVE – what you show another may be all the love they might ever have known and you do not want to destroy the little HOPE some souls barely have. Any hope in the heart of another you want to ENLARGE – ENRICH the lives of all those you meet by discovering their UNasked needs and seek to FULFIL them.

YOU can AND will make a DIFFERENCE – do NOT leave this life UNtouched! Loud or quiet – leave your MARK in and on this world! BE the difference that others SEE – you might be the ONLY one they KNOW!

2012 | Day 244: I WILL BECOME

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

I don’t know about you, but I DON’T want to stay the SAME. I don’t want to be what I WAS. I want to be BETTER, a NEW creature, even if it is born of pain and suffering, the fires of hell forging something far STRONGER and GREATER than never having withstood such heartache and tragedy, the twists and turns that life loves to take us down just to see what we are made of, TESTING us to see whether we fail or shine. Being as I am might be ok for NOW, as I BECOME, but it will never be the FINAL me, because I am ALWAYS growing, making constant CHANGE as I progress, EVERY experience making me into something MORE than I was. Yes, it can be a scary thing, to know that the journey is not yet over and not knowing just exactly what the rest of it entail, but like the wind I will move WITH life, absorbing everything, knowing that each step of the journey is VALUABLE in creating the final me that I WILL BECOME.

Are you WITH me? Will YOU do the same and grow into the BEST you too?

2012 | Day 225: PUSHING Progression

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

PUSHING Progression

Every day is a new day to not only make the most of what we have been given and to bless as many others as we can, but to push ourselves harder than ever before, in order to create the best physical body and spiritual being mentally, emotionally, and psychologically possible, for us each as individuals. For some of us this is second nature, but to most it is not. To the majority it is an effort, a learned approach to life, but not to say that it can’t be embraced, accepted, and done, new habits created and formed.

It’s a new day. If you don’t see life as a CONSTANT PROGRESSION and journey OF CHANGE, then step OUT of the way of those who DO. Look at them as an example of what living life is about, of what you can do to start making a difference in your own life and the lives of those around you today. Make the decision - stagnation or progression.

Will you PUSH to become BETTER? Or are you content to stay as you are? Will you accept the challenge of changing the world what little bit you can? Or are you going to sit back and watch as others do it?

YOUR CHOICE!

Quote for Reflection: “YES! I do actually enjoy PUSHING myself each and everyday to be better, eat cleaner and lift harder. Life is about progression and change. Either hop on board with me, accept what I do, or get the hell out of my way because I'm focused like a high beam baby! It's go time!” - Jason Newman

2012 | Day 222: I Like Who I'm Becoming

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

I Like Who I'm Becoming
 
I am not the person I was a year ago, nor several months ago, even a week ago or a day ago. Like life and time I am constantly evolving, changing as my soul experiences everything in an hourglass of passion and depression, hope and despair, love and loathing, progress and stagnation. Everything that I see, hear, taste, smell, and do has an impact no matter how small or big, whether I realize it or not, and affects how I ultimately perceive the world, myself, and my position in it.

Constant evolution suggests constant PROGRESS, BECOMING BETTER, leaving behind the shell of who I was, accepting and embracing and stepping into the new, the unknown future and all it holds for me. There is no fear of what is to come, for I have something far greater alongside all the weapons I need to take stance against anything and all who might come against me, knowing that He will ALWAYS have my back, that everything I go through has PURPOSE.

Is there pain? Yes. Is there sorrow? Yes. Is there darkness? Yes. But there is also joy and happiness and light, and it is THOSE things that my soul holds on for, the glimpse of them that hope has afforded me, the woman that I will be at the end of it all, who I am becoming for the one I am being created FOR. There can be no triumph without struggle, no strength without experiencing weakness, no life without the exchange of death, and I have struggled in and with my weakness, dying to be reborn into the life I was MEANT to live.

I am a different creature than I once was. I am changed in ways I never thought I would be. I see things I never thought I would see. I hold dreams I never thought I would ever care for. I have allowed the hard shell of the rock island that I was to be penetrated, a crumbling of the wall that once kept the world at bay and me safe inside, eroding as slowly I step into the light, trembling as I share my soul with the world I stayed aloof from for a lifetime, a shy emergence of a rare softness and vulnerability peeking out from the “machine”.

I am becoming something more than I ever imagined. I am becoming all that I was intended to be. Instead of heaviness there is lightness in my soul, a quiet calm even as there blows a maelstrom, because I know that I am growing into my destiny. I am growing into “my own”, a woman with complete confidence in herself and her abilities and place in the world, at peace with her heart and soul and the desires no longer hidden there. I know some don’t approve of my choices or like the path I have embarked on, but this is MY life, not theirs, and I LIKE who I’m becoming and I WELCOME it.
