2013 | Day 82: WILLINGNESS TO WAIT

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

WILLINGNESS TO WAIT

When you place TRUE VALUE on something in your soul, you WILL WAIT for it, no matter how long it takes. You will make the sacrifices and cover the costs, shed the tears and bear the burden of whatever you must without resentment, in order to attain the object of your “desire”. You do it because you know the WORTH of it, how PRECIOUS it is to your heart and soul and overall BEING.

When your SOUL dreams, you WAIT the time it takes to bring that dream to fruition. You do all you can when you can, but that is all you CAN do. If circumstances “blow out” of your control, then you either settle in the harbour to “wait them out” or you do your best in facing the elements in the midst of the ocean in the storm. More often than not, you’re in the heart of the storm and the destruction it causes can wreak even more damage on your soul.

The destruction only gives you “space” to REBUILD. The fire that burns bright, the spark that LIGHTS “up” your soul, can never truly be extinguished until you are gone from this world, and when your heart truly values your dream, it does whatever it must to KEEP that dream “alive”, even if it is only what appears to be an “insignificant” glow in an ember resting in the darkest depths of your being.

Embers are our HOPE, waiting for the time to be “set alight” and GROW and burn BRIGHT. They are the slumbering POTENTIAL of our dreams, the TRUE nature of our desire, because when it IS true, it can NEVER be cast aside or forgotten or become “cold” like the remnants of ash that scatter over the coals of a fire that once raged. Embers can sit for a lifetime if need be, “holding” their heat encased in a deceptively “dead” heart.

Even “death” is not the end, for the phoenix rises from the ashes of itself, flames flare from the heart of a fire that has diminished to only glowing embers, and YOU can “spark” the ember of YOUR dreams, to reveal the TRUTH of their value to you, when the world thought them long gone or “let go” of. TRUE dreams and desire can and WILL wait as long as it takes to manifest in the world the REALITY they keep in the heart of the soul that carries them.

2013 | Day 76: SETBACK FOR A COMEBACK

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

SETBACK FOR A COMEBACK

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. It is your Easter Sunday and the dawn of a NEW “spring”. The season for mourning has passed and you are given a FRESH slate on which to “write” the story of your life.

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.
