MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

WHEN MIRACLES HAPPEN

You have to TRULY want something, but not JUST want it, BELIEVE that you CAN do it and then do EVERYTHING possible to MAKE it happen, for something to become REAL, YOUR reality instead of just a dream or a fantasy, a want or desire that you see only in your mind or heart. You have to TRULY be prepared to give and do EVERYTHING possible to make it come TRUE. You have to TRULY make the decision that you ARE going to PURSUE your heart no matter the cost and sacrifices that are going to be asked of you along the way. You have to TRULY be ENGAGED in the journey, hold yourself ACCOUNTABLE and accept ALL responsibility, to make the DIFFERENCE required, to equip yourself with the POWER you need to make it HAPPEN.

When you TRULY want it, BELIEVE you can, are PREPARED for what is to come, and are living FULLY in every MOMENT of the journey you have determined to set upon, you are READY to open a NEW chapter of your life, ready to embrace the NEW, ready to step OUT and into the wonders that are waiting for you, the MIRACLES that have been waiting for you to open your mind and heart and soul to RECEIVE, to be BLESSED beyond what you could ever imagine or wish for. When you are TRULY ENGAGED in the experience and are LIVING, miracles HAPPEN, and they happen to YOU.

All of life is a miracle and YOU are one in it, but your heart has to be OPEN to SEE it, and it can only be open when you TRULY BELIEVE and DECIDE to CREATE your OWN DESTINY.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

HEART EYES

Your SOUL is more discerning than you think. It picks up on subtle nuances your eyes might miss. It understands the change in the air when you do not notice anything. It “feels” the shift in another soul towards you, even if there is no visible change in them before you. There is something inside you that KNOWS when something is “wrong” and when it is “right”, carrying that feeling through to your HEART, allowing yourself to dig deeper into your psyche, look UNDER the surface of what “appears” to be the truth to what is REAL.

Your heart sees what your EYES do not. It fluctuates with the vibrations of your soul, sensing unconsciously the shifts to happen often BEFORE they occur; preparing you for the changes to come that might devastate or make your world. TRUST your soul. Sometimes your heart can lead you astray, especially when your mind analyzes the situation, but you have to realize that when your heart is led by your SOUL, you will NEVER be taken from where you should be treading,

Have FAITH in your soul, in the connection it has with your heart. Believe the silent murmurings that whisper through it and take time to still yourself into moments of silence TO hear them. Know that INSTINCT is on the side of your soul and will warn you of the dangers your eyes cannot fathom or see, LISTEN to your heart when it is in agreement with your soul. Let yourself step out in the scary unknown, making decisions that will determine your destiny, towards the dreams buried and resting there, and let them come to light to give you life.

2013 | Day 88: TWO POWERFUL WORDS

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

TWO POWERFUL WORDS

I AM. Two very  powerful words, for what comes AFTER determines your destiny. YOU determine your destiny by what you THINK about yourself, for what you think about yourself becomes your unconscious AND conscious actions. Your actions lead to consequences or in directions that will decide positive or negative effect and that effect will steer you towards or away from the person you have ultimate POTENTIAL to be.

I DECIDE. Another two powerful words, for in the end YOU decide what you want in your life. YOU make the choices that will forge the journey you will undertake. Your HEART plants the seed of your purpose and your thoughts will the actions you eventually make.

I CREATE. My future. What will YOURS be?

2013 | Day 6: SMALL CHANGES. BIG DIFFERENCE.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

SMALL CHANGES. BIG DIFFERENCE.

The SMALLEST change can make ALL the difference in the world. Changing only ONE thing in your life can change EVERYTHING. One tiny ADJUSTMENT to your ATTITUDE or THINKING can turn around the way you FEEL and ACT. ONE little thing can be the BIGGEST thing there is.

You think from your HEART. You act off what you THINK. Your life is determined by your ACTIONS.

If you want to see a CHANGE in your life, change ONE thing. If you change anything, change your HEART. What goes in must come OUT. What you ABSORB is ultimately REFLECTED back out into the universe for OTHERS to absorb. What you send out can be the cause of or create a change for or in someone ELSE.

YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE. But first you must make a difference in your OWN life. You must take CONTROL of your OWN heart. You must determine who you want to BE and what you want to GIVE life. When you know and are on your personal path of evolution THEN you can be good FOR others.

2013 | Day 1: ARCHITECTS OF DESTINY

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

ARCHITECTS OF DESTINY

Your thoughts are the BEGINNING of the process that creates your ACTIONS, and your actions determine your DESTINY. A dream manifested does not happen by chance, but by a carefully ORCHESTRATED series of events happening in a predetermined and perfect order. That order starts in your MIND, before your heart is even aware of it, and creeps into your soul, so that it INFUSES into your being and you cannot help BUT do everything in your power to bring about its emergence in reality.

Thoughts are POWERFUL, and everything born of man’s creation started as a single thought in the mind of either a madman or a genius. There is genius in madness and madness in genius, and both are beautiful in their own right, albeit through different means and realities.

Reality is in the perspective of mind that PERCEIVES it. Reality that has yet to take on physical form can be seen in another dimension, that of the SOUL, of dreams, of design and CREATION. Reality can come from something as SMALL and SIMPLE as a passing whisper of a thought floating through the empty spaces of one’s mind, the butterfly touch of a lover’s caress across your vulnerable soul, the quiver of a tear in the depths you never knew you had.

Your tomorrow is determined by your living of TODAY. You set in motion events that roll into each other with EVERY action, every word, every thought, and every expression. You CREATE your own reality with your progression towards your dreams. Your DREAMS determine your destiny.

Your dreams are created in the tiny flickers of thought through your mind, in the howling tempests that surge through your heart, the waves of change that wash through your soul echoing with the possibility of what could be. Your dreams create a desire in you to see them become something MORE than a dream, a life you can smile in, bask in with joy. Your thoughts are the ARCHITECTS of your destiny, for they form the shape of your dreams, and your dreams determine the path you CHOOSE to walk.

2012 | Day 284: BE YOU

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

BE YOU

There is no need to hide from the world. Let your soul SHINE. Let it be SEEN. Feel FREE to be you no matter what. There are ALWAYS going to be people who disapprove of who you are and everything you do, but there are also always going to be those who SUPPORT you in everything and want you to become all that you can be.

This world will always try to change you – do NOT let it. You do NOT need anyone’s permission to be you. You need only YOUR approval. You need only to know that you are being TRUE to you, holding your integrity at high value, your actions speaking with that integrity, never violating who you are and what you stand for. Know that you are alive for a higher purpose and STAY the course, regardless of others’ opinions, for they matter little in the end, as you are the ONLY one who can live YOUR life, and YOU must be the one who is at peace with yourself.

You are you for a REASON. Unique in every aspect of your creation, talented for a purpose, special to more than you may realize, beautiful in your own way, adored for what you do and who you are and the joy you bring to others, so do not let anyone take AWAY from that, living the life you deem worthy and would be proud to present to Him when you leave this world for the next.

Be you EVERY step of the way. Do not fear letting yourself be seen. Those who matter and truly care will love you for who you ARE, not for whom they want you to be, and will only try to help you become BETTER and fulfil your destiny. You do not have to seek them out – they will be drawn to you, as you to them, and together you can make a DIFFERENCE that will reverberate through eternity.

2012 | Day 160: Is your world just a broken promise...your love just a drop of rain...

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

YOU are the CREATOR of your OWN DESTINY

Quote for Reflection: “♥ The creation of your REALITY begins with your THOUGHTS ~ “BAIT” your “HOOK” properly! ♥ COGNITIONS will bring the identical EXHIBITIONS into your life. You will “ATTRACT” back a certain “fish” based on the “LURE” that you USE, so be very SELECTIVE with the one that you CHOOSE! Before “CASTING” your “LINE”, make sure the “CHUM” is “IN line” with the EXACT fish that you would like to see COME! ♥ EXPECT only the BEST for yourself and have your ACTIONS follow suit with those thoughts. If you want the “BIGGEST” fish in the OCEAN, do not select a “ROD” that cannot handle the “MOTION”! ♥ BELIEVE yourself to be capable of attracting the grandest fish of the “SEAS”…IMAGINE bass and trout, without thoughts of minnows or anchovies! Do not allow your thoughts to “BOB” up-and-down as to what you are DESERVING of. Believe yourself to be worthy of the most “prize-winning” “GAME”…and that is exactly what you will “REEL IN” ♥ If you “CATCH” yourself thinking negative thoughts, simply “RELEASE” them and refocus on “PULLING IN” POSITIVITY. “TURN THE TIDE” of life in your favor by looking for the “UPSIDE” in all circumstances ♥ Become a “MAGNET” for all things AMAZING! You do not have to travel in a “SCHOOL” to be aware that your MIND is your greatest “TOOL”…use it to “TACKLE” life, “HOOK, LINE, & SINKER!!” ♥” - Lauren Christine Frahn

OTHER NOTES

Sleep: ~6 hours, after having to exhaust myself to get TO sleep first. Woke from dreams so real the emotion they evoked was as if they HAD happened.

Energy: There, calmly.

Joints: Pain in both delt/biceps' tendons. And in my LEFT shoulder deep in the joint.

Pump: With the newest Assault, I get this hard and fast, no matter what I have done PRIOR to weights, nothing or something, which is one of the things I am liking about this formula.

Quality of Training: Back to my HIIT OUTside - it was nice, but also very hot and only got hotter, making it a little hard to breathe. Did 28 sprints as fast as I could, feeling it in my left shoulder during and after...Down to the basement today for weights. The other skipping rope that I have is not a speed rope and can be annoying to use, so I left the skipping from my resistance session/s today. Shoulders in the morning, Hamstrings in the evening. Anterior delts in a lot of pain, particularly in my left shoulder during most exercises, and winced my way through them - hence also the lower volume of that session, which only took 20 minutes to do (very short compared to my usual 50-60 minutes of intensity)...Hamstrings were fine - no Assault before this session, since it was so short and can't even really even be called a session, IMO. Then 3-mile run afterwards, just to make my body suffer more, welcoming the pain...

Supplements: Recompadrol is available again (so I'll have some more by the end of the week)!

2012 | Day 135: I DECIDE

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

Pioneer Your Destiny

Not everyone has it in them to be a Leader. Not everyone can break away from the crowd and walk their own path, dance to their own tune, ignoring others’ opinions on where they should be going in life. Not everyone has the courage to forge a brand new path through life – a path that OTHERS will follow.

PIONEERS are a different “breed”. They are the dreamers, the innovators of the world, the visionaries. You might not agree with them, but you can’t help but NOTICE them. They have VISION.

Even if they walk alone, they do not mind. They would rather carve their own path than simply blindly follow that of another. They set themselves apart from the rest, an inspiration to aspire to, motivating others to create MOVEMENT.

Every great achievement began with a VISION. And every vision was born in the heart of a PIONEER.

TAKE CHARGE OF YOUR DESTINY TODAY! BE A PIONEER AND INITIATE CHANGE!

OTHER NOTES

Sleep: Went to bed just after 2300, was asleep by midnight, and woke just before 0600. Pretty good.

Energy: Didn't fully get up until 0700, but once I was up, I was well awake and had energy. SO ready for the HAMMERING in the gym today!

Mood: A smile and some laughter...Now if I could only have you smile with me...

Joints: Left wrist was giving me a lot of trouble during resistance training - tried to ignore it, but come SuperSet E I had to strap it. Right anterior delt inside the joint was also quite painful from SuperSet E on.

Quality of Training: HIIT Run was great...Started out with a smile re skipping pre-weights, but that soon turned to a grimace and closed eyes during resistance training...Left foot became rather painful during post-weights skipping - hence the move to the Recline Bike, where I was shocked to find my legs/body so exhausted that the cadence was WTF?! slow...

Other Notes: The week has started off well...

2012 | Day 84: Break Me Down

MOTIVATIONAL QUOTE OF THE DAY

"Walk your path one step at a time – with courage, faith, and determination. Keep your head up and cast your dreams to the stars. Soon your steps will become firm, and your footing will be solid again. A path that you never imagined will become the most comfortable direction you could have ever hoped to follow.

"Keep your belief in yourself and walk into your new journey. You will find it magnificent, spectacular, and beyond your wildest imaginings." - Vicki Silvers

TRAINING

Recline Bike 20 min @ 112 rpm

Stretch 30 min

Took half a scoop of G8 at 0432 and went to bed 10 minutes later. Asleep by 0500. Woke on the hour every hour from 1000-1300, and, feeling completely shattered, went back to bed at 1310, finally waking at 1510 (woken by a text). As with every other day this week I have slept, took a real EFFORT to NOT just lie back down and go back to sleep, getting up to start my "day"...Waited a couple of hours before doing cardio - decided to do the Recline Bike and leave my run until later (when it's dark and likely to be deserted out - I like it better that way). Right knee was really bad and every spin felt like someone was stabbing me with a very sharp knife in the superiomedial aspect of it. Regardless, I didn't want it to be a "slow" session and gritted my teeth, forcing my legs to spin. Right knee was NOT very happy afterwards, although relieved to be done, throbbing with both pain and heat...Stretching did little to "ease" anything today. Although my mind screams protest against the idea because this week has been so terrible with everything BUT training, I quickly made the SMART decision NOT to do a second cardio session and give my knees a chance to recuperate a little...
