MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

It's a mindset. A vision. A way of living. Be so focused on your vision that you instinctively move away from anyone or anything who is not moving in the same direction. FORWARD. Choosing growth and empowerment. New experiences and an enriched life.

Every day is a new day. A fresh start. A blank slate. You choose what you draw on the easel of that day. Make it a work of art that people REMEMBER. That they will want to stop and look at. That speaks to something deeper within them than simple surface logic.

It's all a choice. And it's all on YOU. How you decide will ultimately determine one step closer or one step further from your vision. Each day is an opportunity of possibility. Each moment to be lived with nothing less than passion and soul.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY


THE LIFE WAITING


When I was younger I was one of those people who had their future mapped out – the next year, the next five years, even the next TEN years. I knew what I wanted to do and had set in motion events for where I wanted to be, having spent my entire college years preparing for what I had PLANNED on doing when I left school. But…

Sometimes God has OTHER plans. Due to unusual circumstances, I was unable to “be there” when I should have been for what I wanted to do. So I decided to take a year off and start working my way towards what I had planned on doing when I was there. In that time I reached a point where everything changed and suddenly my life was going in a completely different direction, one I would never have considered or fathomed before. I was structured, regimented, preferring to know what was going to happen and controlling the situation, the DRIVER, never having before being “driven”. Yet…

For some reason, I “let go”. I followed the path I had suddenly found myself walking on. And that path led me to another. And then another. The place I ended up is NOTHING like the one I had PLANNED on being in 16-17 years ago, but another reality altogether. But…

It is the RIGHT place for me. I can look back and see all the twists and turns, all the milestones that have led me to this place, to “creating” me into the person I am, and know without a doubt that had I lived the life I planned, I would be nowhere close to being who I am today. I would have stayed the way I was, possibly reinforcing the walls that today have been broken down. I would not have discovered the dream that lay buried deep inside and stepped out after it. I would never have met the people I have, who have changed me so drastically, so significantly…

The life I had planned was not a “true” dream. It was what I THOUGHT I wanted, even though I know that deep down it was not an “ultimate” dream, but just something to do, what was expected, a path that used skills and some abilities, instead of a path that followed passion and made a difference, uncovering hidden talents and desires.

The life I now live, the life I stepped into, not through mere course of fate or coincidence, but many choices, several heartbreaking decisions, allowing the whispers in my soul voice and freedom to be heard, chasing them and listening to instinct, is the life that was always WAITING. It is the life that was “meant to be”, but could not have happened if not for all that was. When I look back and see all that brought me here, to this point, to this place, the dreams and the ones I hold dear, I know they HAD to be for me to BECOME.

Sometimes we do not see what CAN be. We see what we think SHOULD be. We allow OTHERS to have some decision in the life we “choose” to lead. But…If you “let go” of the “control” and allow your life to “follow” your SOUL, you will end up in a place you might never have ever been able to imagine. And that place is so much BETTER than anything we could ever “plan” on doing and being.

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

NOT SORRY

I'm not sorry for being me. I'm me for ME. No one else. Those who do not understand, cannot or will not accept that do not matter. Others' opinions on who they think I am or what I should be are just that - opinions, and have no relevance or hold no sway over my decisions.

I'm not sorry for the life I choose to lead. I know my purpose. I know for Whom I live. I know what is and feels right for me. Those who "disapprove" or seek to bring negative energy to my light have no place in my life.

No, I'm not sorry for being me. I am who I am and I will never stop being true to myself.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

FALL AND RISE

It’s not the falling that makes or breaks you. It’s what you do AFTER you fall. Whether you stay down or choose to stand back UP. Staying down is easy, although sometimes not as “easy” as it might seem. Standing back up is never easy, but the struggle is worth it to get back to your feet and put yourself back in the “fight”.

What you do after a crippling blow shows what you are made of. It can reveal character and the truth of who you are. It can create determination to never again allow such a blow and instigate a fire of change that sweeps through a soul and inspires them to a “higher” level. It’s the “aftermath” that matters the most, for the consequences of the choices made on that mat echo long after you have left it.

What are YOU made of? What do you want to BECOME? What do you want to be REMEMBERED for? What do you want your life to INSPIRE? The world watches every day; it sees the battles you fight, the wars won or lost, and it takes note of the warrior’s code and choices “responsible” for them, the example lived and the “legacy” being left. Make sure YOURS is a WORTHY one.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

MAKE IT HAPPEN

YOU are the one who ultimately determines whether you are “successful” or not. YOU have the dreams. Every day YOU make choices. The decisions are YOURS. YOU are the one accountable for the actions you take.

Don’t JUST dream! Get out there and MAKE your dream come TRUE! Let it GUIDE you in your daily decisions. Let the passion for it FUEL your motivation. Make your motivation drive you BEYOND anything “comfortable”.

“Successful” people LIVE their dreams day in and out. Even if they are not yet “real,” they hold them so tightly in their soul, desire them like breath itself in their heart, and see them so vividly in their minds, that their BELIEF in their dreams MAKE them real before they are.

Dreams can drive you. But first you must make the CONSCIOUS decision to let them OUT and roar their INTENT. Remember, a dream is JUST a dream until you DO something about it. Intentions are NOTHING without ACTION.

You CAN do this! You can MAKE it happen! You just have to START!

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

THE FUTURE

We don’t know what the future holds. We cannot predict it. But - we CAN HOPE for it. We CAN TRUST in His promises and have Faith that He knows what He’s doing, the way He’s moulding our circumstances - turning negatives into positives, fears into dreams, failures into opportunities - so that we can have nothing but the BEST. He ALWAYS has something WAITING for us, even if WE make the choices that might eventually take us AWAY from those things. After all, we DO have FREE WILL, the power of CHOICE, and what we do is not always in line with what He would want us to do. But, it IS our life, and we HAVE that grace.

We do not have dreams in our hearts for NO reason, so if you have one that CONSUMES you, then know that it is there for a PURPOSE. You might not know what for - and if you do, then more power to you - but when you DO, then nothing but good things can eventuate from its fruition, no matter how hard the journey there might be.

Even if we have a dream in our heart, it is not meant to STAY there. It is meant to be SHARED. You’re NOT alone on your journey to bringing it about. And if you have a dream, YOU cannot wait for Him to just “do it” for you - YOU must get out there and DO it yourself. YOU need to build the foundation, start the framework of your masterpiece, find the tools to help you, the people who will build with you, make the final decisions on anything important. He might place a dream there, or it might be OUR dream, born from the passion He instilled in us, but it is up to US to ultimately DO something about it.

I don’t know what my future holds. But I know what I WANT it to hold. I know what my heart HOPES for it to hold. And I know what I must do to get there. The journey is not going to be easy by any means, but it is one that I am WILLING to take, obstacles I will run THROUGH, chase away any shadows of doubt with the light of belief. Whatever happens, I know that He is looking out for me, that if my dreams are in line with HIS dreams for me, then there is an incredibly amazing and wonderful future ahead of me, beautiful and BLESSED and well WORTH waiting for.

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

LIFE AND YOU

Life is more complicated than a game of chess. It is more intricate than a fight that is so delicate it is almost a dance. It is easier to get lost in than a maze that reaches to the heavens themselves.

Life can be unbelievably frustrating. It can be crazy beautiful. And it can be scary dark.

But there is always an option. A choice that can determine whether you get to turn the tables on it and “take” the dice to “roll”. And that is YOU.

It is the human soul. It is the fire of determination that simmers inside. It is the roar of courage that wants to be let out. It is the boldness of a soul who knows what it wants and refuses to believe that it can be “stopped” from attaining the precious dreams it carries.

There are dreams that you have never let go of. There are dreams that have been planted and are waiting to be nurtured. There are dreams that were once a blooming garden and now lie as if dead.

All these dreams YOURS. What will you do? Where will you start? You must start somewhere. How about with the dreams closest to your heart? The ones that have given you hope to stay alive for when there might have been no other reason.

START. The first step. Often the BIGGEST step. Take it. Be determined. Be brave. Be bold.

Dare to take the risk. Dare to believe that it is meant for you. Dare to put your entire soul behind it because it is something you cannot let go of. DARE.

What have you got to lose? You will lose far more if you do not even TRY. Remember why you held such a dream close for so long and release the bonds holding you back from running after it. Run after it because it makes your soul sing. It causes your heart to beat lively. It keeps you in the “game” of life.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

HERE NOW WITH THE POWER

You are NOT the person you were yesterday. You are not YET the person you will be tomorrow. You are here NOW, today, part of the old, to become the new, and have the power to CHOOSE what you will take with you from the past into your future.

You are HUMAN. You’ve made mistakes. You’ve got regrets. Welcome to life. The beauty of it is that you are not defined by your mistakes or regrets. You can move past those and embrace the promises and opportunities waiting for you to step INTO.

TODAY is up to you. Tomorrow today will become part of your past. It will be one step closer or one step further from where you want to be and the person you were meant to be. The choices you make, the memories you hold onto in your heart, the lessons you bring with you from the past, the experiences you allow to “shape” you, WILL mould you for tomorrow. Therefore, be wise in what you will and won’t allow, the battles you choose to fight and leave alone, the people you surround your heart and mind with, for it will all play part in the future.

You are what you ALLOW into your soul. You develop BECAUSE of your mistakes and regrets, the consequences that follow, the struggles that you battle. You want the darkness to ILLUMINATE the light, so that you come out BETTER than ever.

Your soul is the most PRECIOUS “thing” you have. It is your own and no one can make it into something YOU do not give permission for. Determine today WHO you want to be and filter in or out anything that has no role or purpose in that vision.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY
 

EFFORT AND SURRENDER

Life takes EFFORT to live, if you want to live COMPLETELY. Yet not always is effort required, and sometimes we must learn to simply SURRENDER and LET life HAPPEN, unfolding as it will in its own [perfect] way.

Life is NOT always about control and sometimes we canNOT control what happens to us, even if we would like to. Sometimes we can do nothing but accept that life is GOING to give us experiences, whether we want them or not. We may not always be able to CHOOSE what experiences we have, but we CAN choose how we RESPOND to them.

We can respond by making an effort or surrendering to the fate that our life might take. Surrender is not something we should do easily OR lightly. If the experience is something that we do NOT wish for, that is harmful to our well-being or damaging to our soul, then we NEED to FIGHT it, do the best with what we have and can to CHANGE it, making the EFFORT to see the POSITIVE in the negative, the light in the dark, and the growth in the destruction.

However, sometimes life gives us experiences that we never sought because we might never have wanted them. Even if the desire for them was never acknowledged in our soul, when we realize what a BLESSING those opportunities are, we should allow ourselves to SURRENDER and appreciate that we ARE being gifted thus. Yet, know that nothing lasts forever and if we desire to KEEP that gift and allow it to CONTINUE to change us, we MUST make an EFFORT to show that not only are we THANKFUL for it, but to GIVE it room to GROW, to NOURISH and NURTURE it to its FULL potential.

Life is a BALANCE between effort AND surrender. Let your INSTINCT guide you on when to exercise which, and watch your life become a story you can use to HELP others on their own journey through it.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

NEVER TOO LATE

Dawn. Night fade away. Snow melting on the grass. Sunshine spreading rays of light over earth.

As the darkness recedes, let it take with it your fears. As the snow melts, let it dissipate the burdens that [might] rest upon your soul. As the sunshine illuminates, let it touch your heart and find the smile hidden inside.

There is so much history, but there is also a future. The past gave much love and happiness, but also great pain and sorrow. The future has not yet been written, but what we let walk with us into it will assist in determining how it plays out. Joy is found within and happiness is created from that joy, understanding that the choice is always yours and freeing your soul.

It’s never too late to be happy. All the time, no matter what hurdles life throws for us to leap over. It’s never too late to let that real smile out. Open and genuine, a lifetime of experience reflected in the eyes glowing above. It’s never too late to let yourself be the “child” of your soul. To let it dance and shine in the world, playfulness and wonder abound in every action.

You know what happiness feels like. You know what it looks like. You know what it can do.

It’s never too late to have and be and keep “happy”. Make the choice today and feel the change in your soul, the sudden lightness in your heart, the gentle calming of your mind. Let your smile face the world as you prepare to embrace the day and watch how your life changes.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

I AM WHAT I CHOOSE TO BECOME

We all have a past. For many of us that past is something we don’t like to look back on often, causing pain when we do. However, that past has played a role in who and where you are TODAY. It has given you experiences. It has given you happiness, love, heartache, loss, fear, strength, determination, dreams, passion. Even in the most terrible and tough of times, it has blessed you in coming OUT of it.

Some of us choose to “live” in the past, allowing it to “dictate” how we act and what we become. But you are NOT what happened to you. You are NOT your circumstances. You are NOT a victim. You are a SURVIVOR of experience. And you have a CHOICE in what you become!

YOU choose what you HOLD onto from your past. YOU choose what you allow to AFFECT you. YOU choose what aspects of yourself you will NOURISH and what you will let wither. YOU choose what kind of food to FEED your soul. YOU choose what creates the FOUNDATION of your values. YOU choose what to DO on a daily basis. YOU choose whether or not to be BRAVE and face your fears. YOU choose what DREAMS to pursue, how, and when. YOU choose the people you want to STAY in your life. YOU choose your HOME. YOU choose your THOUGHTS. YOU choose where to place your HEART. YOU choose whether you will look at something positively OR negatively. YOU choose whether or not you will GROW. YOU choose whether or not to become BETTER.

It’s all YOU. YOU CHOOSE WHAT YOU BECOME! So if you don’t like who you are or what you are becoming, CHANGE it. YOU choose what you will give POWER to. TAKE OWNERSHIP OF YOUR CHOICES TODAY!

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

CREATE YOURSELF

Are you happy with yourself? Are you happy with WHO you are? Are you happy with WHERE you’re at? Very important questions, for if you are not happy with yourself then much of life becomes a chore, because the one person who SHOULD be happy is not, and if you do not like and love the one person that you are constantly with, then life can be trialing indeed.

So…

Create yourself in the way that you want to. Create a being that you ARE happy with. Create someone that you can LIVE with. Create someone that you can not only live with, but be PROUD of. Create the kind of self that YOU would want to be with. Expect of yourself what your soul desires from another, because in the end it truly all does start with YOU.

I know…

One cannot be happy ALL of the time, but we can FIND something to be happy about, even when life kicks us down. We can CHOOSE to smile because there is something in our soul that cannot repress its thanksgiving for the blessings that life has given us. We can choose to let that unconscious laugh escape because we know it can create a domino effect and change an environment.

We can CHOOSE…

What we BECOME. Who we ARE. We have so much POTENTIAL in everything we can be, but we must be TRUE to ourselves, and in that truth, be someone that we will be happy to live with infinitely. It’s up to US. The CHOICE is there. If you look inside your soul and find pieces that break your heart to see there, then make the choice TODAY to get RID of them and start creating the BEST you possible!

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

OUR CHOICES

Life is full of powerful possibilities, endless opportunities, and constant choices. We choose what possibilities we entertain in our mind. We choose what opportunities we accept and decide to follow. We decide what choices we make in the fate of our future.

We make our choices and the journey they lead us on “create” who we are. Development and growth stem from every twist and turn that we take, every crossroads we come to, how we deal with changes in what we come to realize is never ever a “simple” path.

Life has myriad destinations we could traverse, millions of people who could cross our path, and we choose where we go and who ends up there with us. Those we meet, who we allow into our confidence, those ours souls connect with on another level, the ones we love, all play a part in who we become.

The ones we surround us with we either impact or impact us, for better or for worse. The one we choose as our life partner walks either aside us or nowhere near, encouraging growth or killing us slowly. The ones we emulate create a difference in the difference we create.

The choices we make on the journey through life that we take ultimately make us into what we become. What dreams lie in your heart? What legacy do you want to leave? Who do you want to be? You must make the decision and in the deciding your journey begins.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

BRAND NEW END

Everyone starts somewhere. Everyone travels their own journey. Everyone veers off the path at some point and ends up in a completely different place than they intended. That’s ok. It’s human. It’s to be expected. You might not be in the place you desired to be when you started your journey, but just because you are not there yet does NOT mean that you cannot ever be. We all get lost and we all struggle. It’s a part of life and no one is immune to it.

None of us can go back and start over again from the starting point we initially began at. But we can start over from where we are NOW. We can start our journey from here and go forward in a new direction. We can create a different story from this point. We can determine a different end. We can choose the footprints our life makes on the sands of time.

We all have a beginning. And we all have an end. The final end may not be the end we envisioned when we began. Nor might we have been able to foresee the course life might have taken us through to get there. Yet we are where we are now, through chance or fate or deliberate decision, and where we go from here is a CHOICE.

YOU make the choice in the present on where your life will lead. You decide through your thoughts that lead to your actions how you will live. You started somewhere that it true. And where you initially began might now have been something you had control over. But you have control now, and you choose where you will end up. You choose the dream that will become the reality you eventually make.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

THE DECISION TO TRY

Nothing great that was ever accomplished was done “suddenly”. It did not “happen overnight”. It was not a “random act”. It was not a “coincidence”.

EVERYTHING great that was ever accomplished was accomplished because someone had a VISION, a dream, a “goal”, and they put ACTIONS to that vision and moved TOWARDS it. They decided to TRY.

You have a dream I have a dream. We ALL have dreams. Not every dream will ever come true, because not everyone is WILLING to try. Not everyone is prepared to “take a chance”, play the risk and see what happens.

EVERY dream, no matter how “impossible” or “improbable” HAS the possibility of coming true. It might take time – days, weeks, months, years even, but it has the POTENTIAL. If it is a dream stamped with “greatness” or a dream that could inspire multitudes, its reality is INEVITABLE, but still, the FIRST step to “making it happen” is to make the decision to TRY.

© 2013 Rosie Chee

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.

2013 | Day 70: RIGHT FOR YOU

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

RIGHT FOR YOU

You are always going to be faced with decisions in life. Choices that your mind fumbles in deciding between, torn between your instinct and mind. There are always going to be difficulties on ANY road that you travel in life. Obstacles will block your path and you must choose HOW to deal with them, whether you go around them, climb over them, or make a way through them. No matter what you do, you make a DECISION. There is no “right” or “wrong” decision. In the end, there is only what is “right” for YOU, the choice that you make one that you will have to ultimately deal with. Thus, you HAVE to do what is right for you, regardless of others’ opinions. Sometimes instinct will take over and you will make the decision without thinking. Sometimes you will mull it over, contemplating every angle, until you find the solution that seems to be the best. Sometimes you find your soul and mind so at odds with each other that you find yourself torn between what you desperately desire and what you know makes more sense. In the end, only YOU can decide. If the decision is one that is going to have a lingering effect, maybe you need to include your soul, heart, AND mind into making it. Truly though, you WILL know what is “right” for you. Instinctively your soul will know if the decision you have made is the best, although there might be some turmoil in making that decision. Only YOU know the truth of your soul. Only YOU are the best judge of what is “right” for you. Only YOU truly know where you want your life to lead and who you want in it. Thus, only YOU can make the “right” decision for YOU.
