MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY


SOUL LONGINGS


Your soul longs to SHARE the world with someone, whether you are conscious of it or not. It longs to experience the wonders and delights of being ALIVE with a soul that desires similar – if not the same – to its own. It longs to walk up the mountain of life with their twin soul, a COMPANION, knowing it is not alone in the vastness of the universe. It longs for someone – or something – that will ACTIVATE the passion inside it and bring OUT the sparkle, make its light shine BRIGHTER, increasing the depth and breadth of it, filling it to OVERFLOWING so that it can share that passion and light with others.


Your soul longs to SHARE adventures with someone. It longs to laugh and love as it lives WITH a soul that makes it smile – sometimes for simply no reason other than it is there – and remember how GOOD life is. It longs to bring JOY to the life of their twin soul, HAPPINESS so complete that both souls might wonder how they had been alive all the time without the other. It longs for someone – the right one – that they can help GROW, a MUTUAL respect and understanding, sharing the same dream and vision, moving TOGETHER towards a future that holds more than they could possibly imagine.


Your soul LONGS to share itself with another. A soul that ACCEPTS it where it is at now, non-judgemental about its past, hopeful about its future, and WITH it in the present, realizing just what it has been through, understanding where it wants to be, and how it is a BLESSING now. When your soul discovers that other soul, it understands in its depth that everything is RECIPROCAL and strives to bring out the BETTER part of its twin, giving what it can with love and desire, accepting with a smile the gestures of comfort and care, knowing that God always gives gifts with a purpose, and that it is where it is right now because it is MEANT to be.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

STARDUST

Life is a miracle. Every day is another chance; every moment a whisper of heaven waiting to be discovered. Let it be unleashed within and without you.

Love is a blessing. It is the most beautiful and most painful all at once. It can lift us to the heights of heaven or the depths of hell. It shows us the nature of "beauty and the beast". It breathes life into us, even as it can "take away". It teaches us valuable lessons about ourselves and life. It is a gift to be cherished when had and given freely without condition. When it touches your soul, it changes you, whether you want it to or not.

Learning is a necessity. Every experience is an opportunity to add to your knowledge or apply things learnt in times past. You are never "too old" to learn and the day you stop is the day you stop "living".

Living is an evolution. It means keeping your heart open once it has been “unlocked”.  Even if it means experiences that break us so they can "make" us and it's often during the darkest times in life that we discover what we are truly capable of, growing in ways we might never have thought we would. Beauty from pain and illumination from destruction, the times in our lives we struggle with the most becoming the strongest part of our life testimony and that which we can use the most to help others.

So open your heart. See the blessings that life has to offer and give and He wants you to HAVE. Keep the faith as you have the courage to dream and CHASE those dreams wherever they may take you. LIVE life as fully and completely as you can while you can. Make the MOST of every day and never stop reveling in the wonder of life. As you do, create such a DIFFERENCE with your life that no one can forget you LIVED.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

LIFE

Life is a gift given to all. Not everyone might “deserve” it, but everyone is given the chance to take that blessing and turn it into something great. Life is a miracle and every moment you have breath in your body is a moment to be thankful for.

Gifts are opportunities. They may present as difficulties and obstacles, but the harder the challenge, the greater the opportunity to grow and develop, to “prove” that such a gift was not wasted and the one who received it has a diamond hidden inside the rough.

Life and the gifts it bestows are not always what we want or expect. Not being given what is desired can be the “best” thing one can receive, because what they ARE given can reveal far greater meaning; and sometimes being given the unexpected leads to far more than could ever be imagined and asked for.

Gifts are not given to be set aside. They are intended to be used and He who gives them gives accordingly, knowing what it will take to bring forth the potential hidden inside each one of us. You are unique and your gifts are unique, so treasure them and see the value that He sees.

Life is a miracle. YOU are a miracle. No matter where you have been or what you have been through, it has brought you to the place you now stand. It has given you what you need to become the blessing you are meant to be, so smile as you step into another day and another chance to live “greatness”.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

THE SCARY CHOICES

Sometimes we find a dream in our heart that we didn’t realize was there, discovered during a period of darkness, or when someone or something completely UNexpected comes into our life and we are knocked out for the count. Sometimes those dreams can SCARE us beyond all imagining, something we never wanted or ever thought we could or would want, held in trepidation as we debate the decision whether or not to FOLLOW our heart in this matter.

Will we or won’t we? Will we step out and risk everything we know and have ever known for something OUTSIDE the scope of our experience and knowledge, so unknown that we feel helpless and lost in navigating our way through it? Will we choose to look BEYOND everything that could possibly go wrong on the journey, seeing instead the wonderful OPPORTUNITY that life is blessing us with, the dream we have denied our heart for so long?

Whether your mind acknowledges it or not, once you are AWARE of this dream, you can NEVER become UNaware, that dream becoming a PART of you, living and breathing with you, held capture in your heart, no matter how far down you may try to push it or try to deny its existence out of fear of what might happen IF you follow it. You’ll never know if you don’t give it a chance, if you don’t take the risk and put yourself out there, if you don’t DO.

But when you’re afraid and you just DO it anyway, that’s when you grow and open yourself up to new POSSIBILITIES, when your heart SINGS in the exhilarating feeling of not knowing but knowing and having FAITH that something WONDERFUL is going to happen. It’s not just persevering and desiring it with a force more powerful than you ever realized, but it’s making the choices that scare us the MOST, stepping into the decisions that you want so desperately but have never allowed yourself to consider a plausible reality, that CHANGE us the most and can be the BEST things we ever do, WORTH everything in the end.

Will YOU hear and HEED the call of you HEART and take the RISK, no matter how fearful you are, no matter how hard the path ahead might seem, to SEE where it takes you, to take the chance that it could be something that ENRICHES your life BEYOND anything else you have ever known? Will you be BRAVE and EMBRACE it, knowing that God would never have offered such an unexpected gift it He did not WANT it for you? WILL YOU?

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

BOTH A BLESSING AND A CURSE

Love is Beauty. Love is Hope. Love is a Dream. It gives souls wings to fly. It gives hearts courage to dare. It gives people the push to risk. It is acceptance, understanding, unconditional. Love is a gift to be cherished above all else, for all time. It is something, that when real, once found, can never ever be forgotten.

Love is the most beautiful thing on earth, the most powerful magic there is. And like all things powerful, it can also be twisted into something dark and ugly.

Love brings tears, the most immeasurable heartache. Love causes wars, makes cities crumble. Love leaves devastation, the most unimaginable destruction in its wake. It kills the light that burns in a soul. It cuts deeper than any knife and leaves wounds that never heal. It is the most painful thing in the world to endure.

Love is both a blessing and a curse, the most beautiful thing in the world, but also the cruelest.

And it touches us all at some time in our lives. Which face we see one cannot predict. We can only hope and pray for the love that makes our souls blossom, sing, smile, soar; the love that makes us stronger and better than we ever thought we could be.

2012 | Day 328: I, NOT EVENTS

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

I, NOT EVENTS

Some say that being happy is a state of mind, and to some extent, I believe that it is true. However, sometimes we cannot help the feelings running rampant in us because of an event or person, and we can find ourselves experiencing emotions for seemingly no reason at all. In those times though, we DO have the power, once we RECOGNIZE what has transpired, to CHANGE our mindset.

We live in the PRESENT. Sometimes it is NOT what we want it to be, but it CAN be what we WILL it. The mind is a POWERFUL tool, the most powerful WEAPON we have at our disposal when it comes to eliminating the NEGATIVE from our lives. If something affects you so dramatically that you lose all hope and will to live, think of something ELSE – what brings your heart a SMILE, relights the lamp of FAITH in your soul, and REMEMBER that life is GOOD, if only you OPEN your being to see the blessings you have.

I, not the events going on or around me, have the power to determine my state of mind and the HAPPINESS my soul delights in, the beauty that can be CREATED. The power to be happy lies withIN us – in your mind and heart and soul. We DECIDE what we will be – in our attitude when we wake, in our thoughts when something unexpected happens, in our feelings when we are taken unawares by circumstances not planned for.

The past is GONE – use it only to LEARN from. The future has not YET arrived – look FORWARD to it with ANTICIPATION. The present is what we have NOW – make the MOST of every moment to create the most amazing fairy tale imaginable, because dreams DO come true and miracles are EVERY day, and YOU are one of them, a BLESSING born on earth with the POTENTIAL for heaven.

2012 | Day 281: BE A BLESSING

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

BE A BLESSING

You ARE a Blessing. Your very presence in this world is a GIFT. If you are not aware of it, you SHOULD be, so know it NOW. Know it and live UP to it and be a BLESSING to all those around you.

God gave you talents and abilities, passions and motivations, and He intended for you to USE them. He intended for you to use them in your PURPOSE and be a BLESSING to those around you, to SHARE yourself with the world and ADD to it, to ENRICH the experience of all others in your sphere and improve on their knowledge. When you are passionate about something, you light up when you share that passion, passing along an ENTHUSIASM, drawing similar minds to you, and those for whom you are going to be a “reason” in their life.

Never think that you are worthless or that you have nothing to offer, because you DO. You were created UNIQUE for a reason, set apart for a purpose, even if you are not yet conscious of that purpose. Only you can offer the complete package that you are, so use EVERY day to BE who you are and make yourself better, so that you can be a POSITIVE force in the lives of those around you.

Think of all the people in your life. Think of everything they have taught you, the memories they have given you, the footprints that will forever be imprinted on your soul. Whether they caused you heartache or happiness, each one has blessed you in some way, giving you valuable experience that was not intended to remain dormant or hidden. You are blessed to BE a blessing, so be a blessing to ALL those lives YOU have the privilege of being able to touch, making what difference you can.
