Whether we want to believe it or not, it all comes back to us. The onus for our life lies on ourselves. And the overall state of it really does come down to how we feel and think about and treat ourselves. Yes, sometimes, even when we know better, we let external forces influence and affect how we feel and think and act. It's called being human and I am as flawed as any. Yet making mistakes does not mean that we are not imperfectly perfect and cannot be happy right here and now. So I choose to forgive myself for my "mistakes" and see them as lessons in my soul's growth. I already accept and embrace myself as I am, and while it is an ongoing process, some days more of an effort than others, I choose - again - to approve of and love myself regardless of anything and everything. It is time to take a step back and rediscover what it means and be the love for myself that I have been for others. It is essential to follow and do what makes my soul happy, for ultimately it will only aid in serving energy that inspires and helps awaken awareness, change, and growth in others.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY
Be gentle with yourself. Just as everyone has their own path in life, so every flower blossoms and grows at different paces and in its own season. You are human and that means to be perfectly flawed. It does not mean you have to be indestructible, even if you want and have tried to be.
You don't have to have it all figured out before you move. Look inside for the answers you seek, deeper than you might have ever sought before, for when uncertain which turn to follow, that which you might not have truly been able to admit even to yourself rests quietly, waiting for you to be ready to listen and acknowledge.
As you do, be brave enough to be honest with yourself, to be vulnerable and open to face your weaknesses head on before any addictions and desires cause destruction irreparable. I have learnt this. The irony is that my angels and my demons, though often at odds with one another, much like my mind and my heart, are also the best of friends and would not survive long without the other, for as dark and light are two sides of the same coin, so are they in my Gemini soul.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY
KEEP GOING
No matter what is going on in your life right now, the emotions coursing through you, the feelings surprising and confusing you, the people in and out, the overall kaleidoscope of everything, KEEP GOING. Remember, it’s ok to break down or have your moments, but you HAVE to pick yourself up and put it back together, because there is NO other option. It’s human to “fall” and “break”, experience highs and lows, but it’s WARRIOR to KEEP GOING, building strength and character in determination and action in moving forward even when we are not quite sure where we are heading.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY
GRACE
None of us is perfect; nor will we ever be. Even so, that does mean we cannot STRIVE for perfection; our definition of it.
So, as I strive to be the BEST that I can possibly be, the STANDARD I hold myself to is one not of perfection (been there; done that, and it only sets one up for a lot of heartache and disappointment and self-hatred), but of GRACE, because I know that whilst my intentions are always for the best, I AM human, with “off” days and “mistakes” along the way. I can now acknowledge that it is OK to be HUMAN, instead of beating myself up for any “shortcomings” (that does nothing positive for the psyche and can be detrimental to anything being done or progress being made).
This does not mean that one gives permission to fail or not try, because neither is acceptable; instead it accepts that we are but human and there WILL be times when we need to “readjust” our timelines to make allowances for those “off” moments or things beyond our control. Striving for and standards held are two different things and one is not always the other, even though we should have them both set to the UTMOST possible.
So never stop aiming for the STARS and the very HIGHEST pinnacle you want to reach, for our dreams and goals ARE attainable. Just remember, as Vince Lombardi said, “Perfection is not attainable, but if we chase perfection we can catch excellence.”

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY
BREATHE
Take a deep breath. Centre yourself. Calm your beating heart. Breathe again.
We all have days when we feel tired and overwhelmed. It happens. It’s called life. Breathe.
The tiredness will pass. Eliminate the overwhelming by taking care of yourself. Breathe.
Rest. Take the day for you. Choose to allow yourself not to be rushed. Give yourself time to recover.
You are only human. Accept it. Refocus and find your peace. BREATHE.

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.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY
INNER FLAME
We all get tired. We all come close to losing hope. We all have times when we have tried our hardest, only to have everything we do flung back in our face as if was nothing. We all have those times we feel something inside start to fade and in some instances, almost to black.
It’s human to have your inner spark go out. It would be unnatural if our inner light never grew dim. It would be perfection if we never experienced the darkening soul and no human is perfect.
In that we are human, so it allows us the chance to “reconnect” with others. Sometimes the simple nudge of another soul against our own can light the spark lying dormant in us. Sometimes it can gently brush the smile out of hiding. Sometimes it can breathe new life into us, invigorate as it inspires.
Those people are our angels and you never know when or where you will meet them. Just be grateful for their silent blessing in our life. Be thankful that you can see light again.

2013 | Day 31: APPRECIATE EVERY MOMENT
MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY
APPRECIATE EVERY MOMENT
EVERY single moment in your life is SIGNIFICANT. There is SOMEthing to be learnt from EVERYthing you experience, no matter how small or large it is. Sometimes the BIGGEST life lessons we learn come from the SMALLEST things, events that we might not even recognize at the time.
Life throws things at us we are not always PREPARED for. It knocks us down when we LEAST expect it. It takes the wind from our sails just when we thought we were sailing on SMOOTH seas. It does this so that He can see how we RESPOND. He wants to see what we are made OF.
There is a LESSON in EVERY experience we go through, every PERSON we encounter on our journey of life, every time we FALL down, every time we make a MISTAKE, every time we get HURT and feel like we will break, every time we come to a crossroads and realize that we ARE only human and cannot do everything on our OWN. The lesson might be one in HUMILITY, ACCEPTANCE, GRATITUDE, or something else, but no matter WHAT it is, it is VALUABLE in our mission to become the BEST that we can possibly be.
You might not always UNDERSTAND it at the time. You might not always ACKNOWLEDGE what is happening. Just remember that EVERYthing happens for a REASON and in time, if not now, you will SEE that reason and KNOW it.
APPRECIATE life. APPRECIATE every single moment that you have on this earth. APPRECIATE every breath you take, every morning you wake to a new day and are given another chance to “get it right”. APPRECIATE those around you and the love that you have. APPRECIATE that you are special to HIM and He values you. APPRECIATE and you’d be surprised at the way your life can CHANGE.

2012 | Day 285: YOUR STANDARDS
MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY
Never apologize for being YOU. Never apologize for wanting what you want. Never apologize for having STANDARDS. Never apologize for holding OTHERS to the SAME standards as you hold YOURSELF. Never apologize for wanting to see who’s “worthy” of being in your life and deserving of your attention, because they sure as hell won’t apologize when they do the same to you.
You have standards for yourself. You set the bar high. You have expectations you want yourself to meet. You know that your expectations of yourself are higher than what anyone else is ever going to have of you, but that does not matter - what matters is what YOU hold yourself to. What matters is those that accept you for who you are will also accept your standards, and they will also accept that THEY will have to meet certain standards to stay in your life.
In a rare moment of whatever-you-may-call-it, you might allow your standards to drop for the briefest of times. When that happens, those who know you and care about you bring you back UP to your standards, trying to hold YOU there, the way you hold yourself. Those are the people you never want to let go of. Those are the people to cherish. Those are the people who WANT to be in your life.
