MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

Every time you “fail” is NOT a failure. It is an OPPORTUNITY for something “better”. It is a “chance” for you to CHANGE yourself and the world around you. It is a time to “look” deeper WITHIN you. It is moment for REFLECTION.

You might cry. You might scream. You might get hurt. You might be destroyed. But you also might LEARN. You also might begin to truly SEE. You might start to UNDERSTAND your soul. You might REALIZE your “true” dreams and heart.

Every time you fall down, no matter how far or how deep you fall, there is ALWAYS a way back up. It might take days, weeks, years, and be the hardest thing you ever do, but it CAN be done. EVERY setback, no matter how large or small, is God’s way of giving you a SECOND chance. It is your time to “begin” AGAIN...the dawn of a NEW “spring”... YOU are in control. YOU hold the pen that covers the pencil engraved already on the pages of your life. YOU create your fate with the decisions you make. YOU determine your path with the consequences of your actions and your response to them.

STOP looking at being “knocked down” as the end. See it instead as the chance to rise. See yourself as the phoenix rising from the ashes of your past life and stepping into the NEW. You are a “new” creature, the same as before, but NOT the same, wise with your past experience, beautiful with your past pain, and open to the future from everything that has transpired to this point, knowing that you have not gone through everything you have for NOTHING.

Every setback is preparing you for a COMEBACK, allowing the world to see and know a BETTER you, someone who is “of” the past, but not of the past. Transforming with deliberation, you a creature that has been tempered in the fires of hell, then moulded with the hands of God. A beautiful “creation” that brings Him glory.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

YOUR JOURNEY


Your life is YOUR life. Your Journey is YOUR journey. You are YOUR competition. You are the ONLY one who knows exactly what is going on with YOU.


Never mind what anyone else’s life is like - concentrate on your OWN. Everyone has their issues - trials and triumphs - but you need only concern yourself with your OWN. You may feel tempted to interject your opinion in another’s life - look instead to your OWN and see what you can scrutinize. There is no one else making the decisions in YOUR life - only YOU, so do not look to anyone else, because it is not their role to play.


Only YOU can walk your journey in life. You are not given what you are so that you can COMPARE it to another, but so that you can GROW and BECOME what you are MEANT to be. The challenges you face along the way, every experience you go through, are all intended so that you LEARN and ultimately to CREATE A BETTER YOU.


When you focus on making YOURSELF better, then you help OTHERS become better. The sum of your life experiences makes you UNIQUE, gives you something no one else has, so that you can USE those experiences to hold OUT a helping hand to others who may have or be experiencing a similar situation. You are meant to SHARE NOT COMPARE. Life is meant to be walked through WITH others, not AGAINST them.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

TRANSFORMATION

Transformation is never easy. But never is anything worth being done. Transformation illuminates the soul, opens the heart, saturates the mind, "reconnects" your "being" as you "become". More. Better. Different. Changed. Awakened. Transformed. From the inside out. It will show. You will know. You will be more "you" than ever before. And that is beautiful. Wonderful. Glorious. Magnificent. Amazing. Blessed. You are. By Him. Give thanks and embrace the change, the challenge, the "coming". It will be worth it. You'll see. Believe. Trust the process. Transform.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

ALWAYS A WAY

No matter what anything LOOKS like, there is ALWAYS a way for those who are determined and can look BEYOND what is seen. Circumstances may seem “impossible”, challenges and obstacles insurmountable, but for those who refuse to believe that nothing is as it seems, ANYthing can be “resolved”.

Learning to see past the visible is a stepping stone to growth and understanding. It reveals a different kind of soul: One who is not afraid to take risks and try new things, who revels in challenges and unlocking “secrets”. It OPENS a soul to a “new” world full of possibility and “magic”.

There IS always a way for the dreamers, for those who dream in the light become the PIONEERS and the leaders of this world, “symbols” of “success”, even if at first they were mocked and disbelieved. Let your SOUL guide you and “show” you everything possible in the “impossible”.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE

Life is full of CHALLENGES. It is full of OBSTACLES. It is full of DISBELIEVERS. It is full of OPPOSITION. For every supporter you have, there is a hater. For every beautiful moment in time, there is a memory that crushes your soul. For every mountain climbed, there is a canyon to cross. For every star that is born and rises, there is another that falls from the heavens and dies in a blinding flash of light.

Do not allow the negatives in life to outweigh the POSITIVES. Do not let the moments of sadness overcome the incredible periods of HAPPINESS. Do not let the challenges prevent you from living life COMPLETELY.

LOVE life, no matter what happens. Love what you DO. Love the fact that every day is a NEW chance to start OVER. Love those who love you and never let a moment go by that is opportunity to let them KNOW how much they mean to you.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE. COMPLETELY.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

THE WARRIOR IN ME

There are many times this year when I have almost “given up”, said “fcuk it” and just disappeared into the world. Many times when I have wanted to throw everything away, hide from everyone and go where no one can ever find me. Many times when I have thought that what was coming at me was too much for my spirit to take after everything that had gone before. Many times when I have wondered if I walk alone and deserted in this world, faith the only thing to give me any comfort or knowing that it might turn out ok.

Something inside me was stronger than I thought. Something inside me didn’t want to disappear quite yet. Something inside me knew with a quiet confidence that I could handle whatever was happening. Something inside me accepted that even if I was destined to walk alone, I was strong enough and capable enough to do it.

I am still here. I am still FIGHTING. I am still giving it EVERYTHING I can. I still BELIEVE!

There are many things in this world that we do not or will not ever understand, but I have faith that no matter what happens, it can only force us to become BETTER than we are, to prepare us for what is to come, to make sure we are as strong as possible to prevail and succeed!

Remember that there is a Warrior in each of us. A Warrior who will NOT run, who ROARS at adversity, who revels in the challenges life throws at us, steadfast in the position they hold in the world.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

REMEMBER

Sometimes we allow life to get in the way, infiltrate our mind with its fear, doubt, and worries, our circumstances looking bleak instead of an opportunity for change. Are you swimming or drowning in it? Are the things that once used to make you so happy now pulling you down into the depths of despair?

When the things we love become the things that destroy us, what then? We need to REMEMBER - WHY we loved it, what it was that gave us so much joy and peace, smiles before the tears, laughter before the screaming. We need to REMEMBER, and in doing so, maybe make our burden a little lighter.

Let your memories be sweet. Let yourself remember how much you loved. Live without floundering, without sinking, feeling like every day is a battle just to stay afloat. Because all the energy you’re exerting to try and simply STAY here is draining you of energy you could be using for something ELSE.

Remember what it was like and THANK the past for HAPPENING, giving you such blessings, knowing that not all things are meant to last - and nothing ever will. Give yourself time to grieve, but allow yourself to move ON, so that you CAN “live again”.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

BRAVER, STRONGER, SMARTER

All of us have a GREAT capacity for courage and strength and intelligence. We might not think it, but we DO.

When you are going through immense change and everything in your life is topsy-turvy, upside down and back-to-front, and you keep GOING, head down, surging FORWARD through it all that is COURAGE. When your life changes so dramatically that tragedy besets you at almost every turn and you don’t know when the flames of destruction and pain will end, but you hold your head high and continue walking THROUGH the fire that is STRENGTH. When you have no idea what direction your life is headed but, coupled with what you know and common-sense, trust your instinct to lead you true that is INTELLIGENCE.

There is MORE within us than we could ever have possibly imagined. Some of us have just not yet had the life experience that causes us to draw deep within us to what we might have thought we never had. Those of us that have, whilst know the pain and suffering and heartache of such times, understand the NEED for them, their NECESSITY for personal GROWTH, and in TRULY knowing the desires hidden deep inside our SOUL.

When you see and ACCEPT those desires, you are called upon yet again to use that courage to step out AFTER your dreams, your strength to withstand any OBSTACLES that might want to hold you back, and the intelligence to know what to do when, so that you can ACHIEVE your dreams and see them made REALITY. Life is a winding path and you never know which way it can turn, so we do the BEST with what we have as we strive to become the BEST that we can possibly BE.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

YOU ARE HERE FOR A REASON

Whether by design or circumstance of choice, you are where you are right now for a REASON. You may be happy with where you are or you may NOT be. You may be wondering what twist of fate brought you here, to this place in this time, what reasoning could possibly have for you here. There is a reason for EVERYthing that happens in our lives and this is no different. You are where you are right now for a REASON.

Yes, it might be hard, it might be tough, it might be everything you never wanted to know or ever experience going on all at once right now, baffling you, angering you, causing feelings of fear and resentment. You might not know how to handle the situation, frustrated by your lack of knowledge and expertise, ashamed of your shortcomings, wanting to do nothing but run and hide, waiting until it is over and safe to come out from the storm.

But storms are not sent to be afraid of and hidden from. They are sent to be FACED and challenged head on, beckoning your finger to let it know to give all its got, do its worst, knowing that if you don’t already know where it is, you will FIND the courage and the strength to fight back and DEFEAT it. The hard pummelling of the rain to wear you down, the louder-than-it-should-be thunder booming to try and terrify you, the hailstones falling to bruise your body, you WILL find a way to SURVIVE.

And when the storm clears and the sun’s light starts to peek through the clouds that do not want to seem to budge, spreading over your smudged face and war-torn eyes, they will shine over a soul that has been changed and now sees the world through different eyes, knowing with confidence what they are capable of, a new inner spark glowing from the depths of those eyes, ready and willing to face whatever comes next. By accepting, facing, and embracing the storm that soul has GROWN, one step closer its destiny.

So, see that you are where you are right now for a reason. Whether it is a lesson to be learned, a skill to be mastered, or strength to be found, everything transpires together to make the MOST of the now, to make you INTO the person that you are MEANT to be. You might not want to be where you are now, but simply desiring to be elsewhere will NOT help you. If you want to be somewhere else, you must stand and fight through the now to get to where you want to go. So, do it, taking everything you can from the now with you.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

COMMITTMENT, POSITIVITY, AND WILLINGNESS

Life is full of struggles, challenges that force us to rise to our POTENTIAL. Some see the hardship in the challenge and give up because they find it too difficult, whilst others CRAVE the challenge and seek every way possible to use the experience to BETTER themselves.

There IS a way through every challenge, if your eyes are OPEN to it, thinking OUTSIDE the box, nurturing creativity and GROWTH in your soul. There is an OPPORTUNITY to DISCOVER new aspects of life and of yourself, gifts waiting to be ACCEPTED and OPENED with wonder.

To FIND the way through life’s challenges you have to be COMMITTED: To yourself, the goal, the dream, allowing your mind to filter away any negativity about the outcome, knowing that if you have faith it will all work out. Not always as you wanted or expected, but in a way that will only ENRICH your life, adding to the wealth of experience you ALREADY have, EXPANDING your mind and heart, and opening up your soul for even MORE blessings.

To get THROUGH life’s challenges, you need to be WILLING to walk the path before you, no matter how daunting or unknown. You have to believe in yourself and your ability to OVERCOME, ensuring POSITIVITY even when your heart might feel faint at some point in the journey. Your willingness to WORK through the obstacles thrown in front of you reveals your soul, the way you seek to conquer them and see them as stepping stones to GROWTH.

Moving through life is a FORWARD journey. You cannot grow if you stay still or move backwards. You HAVE to move forward, ALWAYS forward, focused on the FUTURE stretched before you, knowing that you have the LIMITLESS potential to create in it whatever you want it to BECOME.

COMMIT yourself to the path you have determined to walk. Be POSITIVE about your chances of success. Seek WILLINGLY the path less taken and carve your OWN path. Stride FORWARD in FAITH and BELIEVE for the BEST.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

STRONGER THAN YOU THINK

What you’re going through now – God didn’t give it to you because He knew you couldn’t handle it; He gave it to you because He knew you COULD. He would NEVER have given you something He knew was NOT in your capability to handle, if the strength you needed was not already inside you just waiting to be found and used.

Sometimes we are given struggles so that we might FIND our strength and realize that we had it all along. Sometimes those struggles are given to DEVELOP the strength dormant in us, the strength we never might have thought we had; or maybe the strength we were not sure we wanted to see. Sometimes our struggles only make us realize just WHAT we have within us.

What faces you might seem daunting. You might not be able to share it with another soul, or only one other, and it is tearing you apart – such are the tests of life, the trials that “make us” when we REFUSE to break. Know that whatever the circumstances, He KNOWS you ARE strong enough – you might just have to get down on your knees and cry out for it, trusting that He will “give” it.

When life delivers such a blow, crippling your soul so that you feel like darkness is your only escape route, wanting to run and hide from the world for a time or maybe forever, understand and take some comfort, hard as it might seem amidst the pain, that though it is not a way YOU would have chosen, you are “given” the life you lead BECAUSE you are strong ENOUGH to live it.

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

BEAUTY OF STARS

Life is a dance and the stars dance in the sky - when we can see them and when we cannot, and in the times we cannot see them does NOT mean they are not there, twirling and whirling through space, sparkling in the inky blackness, lighting the way and making the world around them appear magical.

In the same way, just because we canNOT see the beauty of life in any given instance does not mean that there is none – only that for a time our hearts and eyes have been blinded by distraction or pain or tears, and when the mist clears we will be able to see the wonder surrounding us, waiting for us to delight in it.

When the world becomes clouded and you appear to have “lost” your way, remember the stars and know that the way IS there, the LIGHT is there, the beauty is THERE, and it will guide our soul if we determine to dwell on it and trust our faith that when we do we will be “lighter”, as the stars themselves.

The stars hang in darkness. They shine brilliantly, born of “nothing”, to become something amazing. As the stars, so can YOU be – become one of them: A light in the depths of shadow, overcoming the forces of darkness that might seek to extinguish that light.

When the night seems dark and the day covered in shadow, dwell not on what you can see, but on what you know IS there – the beauty of life, the stars shining high above you, the POSSIBILITIES that exist with YOUR name upon them, and SMILE, because life IS good.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

FIGHT TO CONQUER

If you do not fight, you will never win. If you give up when things get tough, you will never know what it is like to touch your dreams. If you let that which you love fall away when the journey to it is fraught with obstacles, you will never know the true worth of what you love and have only shown that it is not as precious to you as you claim.

When you want something, TRULY desire it with all you are, nothing more precious to your soul, you FIGHT. You fight whatever you have to, battle through any opposition, crawl on your knees through the mud, leap over the highest hurdles, grapple your way up the mountains to reach the stars. You fight, for if you do not, you will forever LOSE that which is your soul.

To conquer, you MUST fight. You fight to WIN. To win, you must OVERCOME. To overcome you must find STRENGTH to continue, even when it seems as if you have nothing left. You have to give everything you have and then some, leave NOTHING on the table, throwing your body, mind, heart, and soul into the battle.

For if you do not and you let your dream fall away, your life will never be the same - what it could be. You will never KNOW how it could end - the life you could have, the person you could be, the reality that could be a fantasy inside this hell called earth. You will never know the most precious of souls to hold close to your own – the soul that is the other half of you, who started you dreaming.

To have all that your heart desires and your mind conceives with such passion, that which stirs your soul into frenzy so great you cannot imagine your life withOUT it, you have to FIGHT. You have to fight to CONQUER, to be the master of your own fate and claim your destiny. You have to fight for what you want in this life, for if you do not, you will only REGRET and always wonder “what if?”

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

TURN IT ALL AROUND

There is NEVER a time when you do NOT have the power to CHANGE your life: The direction you’re going in, the people in it, the dreams headed towards. EVERY passing minute is an OPPORTUNITY for you to make decisions that will alter the course of your destiny in a way you might never have imagined. Every decision could turn your life AROUND in a way you could never have foreseen and be something that gives you the ultimate experience of your life.

There is never a time when YOU do not have the POWER to change YOUR life. All it requires in BELIEF in yourself: That yes you ARE in control, that your soul instinctively knows best the path to take when you come to a crossroads, that when you’re not sure faith too is powerful beyond belief. Belief and TRUST in something far greater than you: He is ALWAYS there, and even if it might seem sometimes we stumble, it is not for the hurt that we do, but the lesson in preventing the fall, or picking ourselves back up if we fall.

There is never a TIME when YOU do not have the power to change your LIFE: If you stumble, correct your motion as best you can to create the least damage possible; if you fall, get back up as quickly as you can; if you injure yourself in the fall, realize that you do not have to do everything alone and sometimes being strong means admitting you need help. There are people in your life who will never walk away, who would pick you up and carry you if they had to; never forget that.

YOU always have the POWER to CHANGE your life! You ALWAYS have the power to TURN it all AROUND! OPEN your eyes; see through your SOUL; CONNECT with your world. It is ALL there: Everything you need, everyone you need, within and without. Stay TRUE to your soul; KEEP the faith; hold tight to His PROMISES. Know that in the end everything will be all right; you will arrive where you are supposed to, no matter how long or far to get there; it is a truly life-changing journey to BECOMING.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

STAY STRONG

Wherever you are in your life, difficulty WILL happen. It is inevitable and how you REPOND to it will determine how it affects you not just now, but in the long term. FACE your struggles and accept them for what they are, even if you do not fully understand and see them only as “tests” or “lessons” for what you are not quite sure you are yet supposed to be learning.

Life is a battlefield and we ALL come across a mine in our time. You might have stepped ON it, see it and cannot stop the movement that will result in your contact with it, or it might already be too late and you did not realize what happened until it blew up and left you destroyed. Your decisions from this point forward will determine your destiny, the path that you’re walking on, who you’re walking it with, whether you stay or go, run or hide, fight or flee. Your choices in this MOMENT will start the process that “creates” who you will become.

Stay STRONG and analyze the situation in the time that you have. See the solutions, no matter how “undoable” they may seem and EMBRACE the “challenge” that now opposes you. Use it to test your mettle, your INSTINCT, your desire to SURVIVE. From the depths of your soul will rise a will to LIVE, for it cannot accept defeat, that this is all life has for you, knowing that there is MORE out there and you were intended for GREATER purpose than this. You just have to get THROUGH now to get there.

Breathe DEEP and try to stay calm. Attempt to allow your soul to RELAX, because you need your logic and reality to act on the blink of an eye, knowing that sometimes even the ILLOGICAL and most improbable solution is the “answer” you need to “pass”. Instinct and FAITH, “letting go” of what it “appears” to be and “seeing” what it really is, TRUSTING that this challenge will only bring you out stronger AND better than before, preparing you for that to come.

STAY strong. This is but a MOMENT in a LIFETIME of “moments”. This is but ONE of many “mines” you will stumble across. This is but one decision you will have to make that could either break or create the future you are heading towards. Hold TIGHT the vision of your future, the dream, in your mind, and know that He and your soul will lead you TRUE towards it if you ALLOW it and BELIEVE it.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

LOSING AN ILLUSION

Even before the dust settles, you can begin to have clear vision. Even through the blurry haze in front of you, your instinct will know the truth. What you thought you knew was just an illusion, the suspicions in your heart revealed as truth before you. That final realization, the knot in the ball of your stomach, the racing of your heart and struggle to breathe, uncomfortable as it may be, will pass. The losing of that illusion will pass. And in the end you will be stronger for it. You will not allow yourself to be fooled again. You will listen to your instinct and not go against it because the words spoken into the world appear to ring truth.

It hurts. It hits deep, like a knife taken to your soul, tearing strips in it as one might tear skin from one in torture. You always thought you could trust the rare ones you let into your soul, and to find you were wrong is like waking up to harsh light after walking endless days in darkness. The world beneath your feet wobbles and threatens to destabilize you, but you have to find the strength to focus and hold on, keeping yourself upright, for you cannot let anyone see you buckle. You cannot let yourself buckle, for then what respect would you have left for yourself. What dignity could you hold onto?

Losing an illusion is a soul shattering event. It creates a rift in the trust in your heart that might not ever be repaired, and certainly will never be the same. It causes the wariness to creep back into your soul, a somewhat distant caring of what comes next, the beginning of new walls you’re not sure you will ever want to let be broken down. Losing an illusion, especially if that illusion was so real, will devastate you more than if you ever knew the entire truth from the start, and you have to forgive yourself for being human and wanting to believe in something beautiful, even if it all turned out to be a lie in the end.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

DARK TO LIGHT

Just when you thought you had survived the deepest dark of night you discover that there is an even DARKER shade of black, thrown into the vortex of darkness, light barely a pinprick millions of eons above you and growing smaller and fainter with each moment, causing your breathing to become labored as the claustrophobia takes over. CALM your fear and remember that you made it through last time, even though you thought you might never make it out alive, and you came out STRONGER and BETTER for the darkness and the “monsters” you battled to make your way to the light, holding onto your FAITH because you knew that God would not have placed you in such a situation if He did not KNOW you could handle it, or that you “needed” the experience in order to FIND your true strength.

You survived once and you WILL again. It might seem that the night is darker than ever, even the stars hiding their faces from the inky blackness, but keep alight the knowledge that night ENDS, even the longest one, and “transforms” into the light of sunrise over the distant horizon. Continue to KEEP your faith and hold tight to the TRUTH inside your soul, even if the world sees something completely different to what it is and judges in the harshest manner because they cannot understand. You might feel all alone, but you are NEVER alone, even if you walk apart for a time, stumbling in the darkness, reaching out to seemingly no one, falling to your knees as you hit obstacles you cannot see, blinded by the confusion that can be.

When you STILL your screaming soul and take measure of your surroundings, you can begin to “sense” where you are, instinct kicking in, survival mode “on”, and even though there be no guide or handbook, you make your way slowly but surely towards where you know the light will appear. You might come across others in that darkness, and when you do, you can HELP each other towards the light, even if each one has their own path to walk and different star to “find”. Walk TOWARDS where you know the sun will rise, and even though it may feel like a “lifetime” that it ceases to break the pitch black, NEVER give up, keep GOING, allowing the “compass” in your soul to lead you true.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

CHALLENGES AND GROWTH

Life is a MOVING challenge. WithIN it are even MORE challenges. Some not so hard; others that test us to our limits. The HARDER the challenge and more desperate the struggle, when we are fighting for life itself and the stakes are the highest they can possibly go, pushing us to the edge of sanity, THAT is when there is the greatest potential for GROWTH. THAT is when we are forced to become BETTER, when we have no choice BUT to make a decision, that decision determining our future forthwith.

EVERY day we are challenged. Every day we are faced with decisions that will either cause us to lose momentum or propel us FORWARD. The harder the decision, the faster the fall if we turn backwards, but also the greater the success waiting for us if we are brave enough to CONTINUE on and through. The harder the challenge and more life-changing the decision we are forced to make, the greater the opportunity we have for taking charge of our destiny and FULFILLING our purpose.

Running from challenges will NOT serve you well, nor remove you from the eventual decision you WILL have to make. Running only shows a lack of courage and conviction, a stagnant soul who cannot even face its own shadow. That is NOT you! YOU MUST TURN AND FIGHT! You must ACCEPT the challenges as they come, for without them, you cannot become better, and your mission is to be ALL that you have potential to be. Always remember, the harder the challenge, the greater the STRENGTH you develop to face life. CHOOSE GROWTH.
