MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

SURROUND YOURSELF

Be a DREAMER. Be a DOER. Be a BELIEVER. Be a THINKER. Be someone who makes things HAPPEN.

See your dreams in your heart and ACT on them. Believe in the hopes of your soul and think CONSTANTLY on them. Forget about fear of the unknown and just GO for it.

There is GREATNESS within you. In your dreams and hopes, the way you see the world and the uniqueness of your soul. Sometimes you may not feel like there is, but there IS, and when you feel thus it is important that the company you KEEP is one that KNOWS this and ENCOURAGES you FORWARD.

The world can be a cloudy place, shades of grey, and sometimes we can lose sight of our vision and our path, wandering until we find it again. Having around you those who know AND understand your heart is imperative in ensuring that you do not completely lose that along with your way, so that no matter what happens or how you feel, you can always RETURN to the source of your strength.

Thus, make sure that your inner circle, even if only one or two precious individuals, have such a SOUL as you. Make sure they are DREAMERS. Make sure they are DOERS. Make sure they are BELIEVERS. Make sure they are THINKERS. Make sure they have the power to INSPIRE and REIGNITE the spark when it burns low or almost disappears. Make sure they are TRUE. For then TOGETHER you can AND will get through ANYTHING, pushing each other to become BETTER as you find and exert the greatness inside.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

YOU ARE...

Sometimes it takes us a long time to realize that we actually are IMPORTANT to the world. Sometimes it takes us a long time to understand that we WORTHY of the blessings we have been given in this life. Sometimes it takes us a long time to awaken to the reality of what we MEAN to others.

You are more VALUABLE than you think. You are more PRECIOUS than you believe. You mean more to someone than you might ever KNOW. Just because you do not know does not make it any LESS true.

You are NOT alone in this life. There are people here who love you and want to walk WITH you. There are people who want to see you SMILE. There are people who want to give your dreams a chance of SUCCESS. There are people who believe IN you beyond anything you might ever fathom.

You are an ASSET to this world. You are a DIAMOND in the rough. You are a WONDER waiting to be uncovered. You are PERFECT in your imperfectness. You are flawed and your flaws make you BEAUTIFUL.

When you know all this life OPENS up in a million different ways. It holds far more POSSIBILITIES. It brings NEW meaning to the old. It births new BELIEF in potential for greatness. It creates a glow in your heart and surrounds your soul with LIGHT.

The light in your soul reflects in the world AROUND you. It seeps from you out into the universe and helps create a new kaleidoscope of MAGNIFICENCE. LET it happen…

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”.

"'For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.'" - Jeremiah 29:11-13

"Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. IMPOSSIBLE is nothing. How are you going to live your life?" - U.S. Army

"I succeed because I am willing to do the things you are not. I will fight against the odds. I will sacrifice. I am not shacked by fear, insecurity or doubt. I feel those emotions but I drink them in and swallow them away to the blackness of hell. I am motivated by accomplishment, not pride. Pride consumes the weak and kills their heart from inside. If I fall... I will get up. If I am beaten... I will return. I will never give up... EVER." - Nike

"The biggest risk in life is to risk nothing at all." - Anonymous

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light not our darkness that frightens us. Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn’t serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. As we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give others permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence actually liberates others." - Marianne Williamson

"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat." - Theodore Roosevelt

"It’s not about what you’ve got; it’s about what you DO with what you’ve got.” – Andie West, Step Up 2: The Streets

"To give anything less than your best is to sacrifice the gift." – Steve Prefontaine

"Never, never, never, never give up." - Winston Churchill

"Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It's a very mean and nasty place, and I don't care how tough you are, it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't about how hard you hit. It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward; how much you can take and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done! Now, if you know what you're worth, then go out and get what you're worth. But you gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers saying you ain't where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody. Cowards do that and that ain't you. You're better than that!...until you start believing in yourself, you ain't gonna have a life...Cause if you're willing to go through all the battling you got to go through to get where you want to get, who's got the right to stop you? I mean maybe some of you guys got something you never finished, something you really want to do, something you never said to someone, something...and you're told no, even after you paid your dues? Who's got the right to tell you that, who? Nobody! It's your right to listen to your gut, it ain't nobody's right to say no after you earned the right to be where you want to be and do what you want to do!...You know, the older I get the more things I gotta leave behind, that's life. The only thing I'm asking you guys to leave on the table...is what's right." - Rocky Balboa

"Strength does not come from winning. Your struggles develop your strengths. When you go through hardships and decide not to surrender, that is strength." - Arnold Schwarzenegger

"Nothing in the world is permanent and we are foolish when we ask anything to last, but surely we are still more foolish not to take delight in it while we have it." – William Somerset Maughan

"There comes a time when you have to stand up and shout: This is me damn it! I look the way I look, think the way I think, feel the way I feel, love the way I love! I am a whole complex package. Take me... or leave me. Accept me - or walk away! Do not try to make me feel like less of a person, just because I don't fit your idea of who I should be and don't try to change me to fit your mold. If I need to change, I alone will make that decision. When you are strong enough to love yourself 100%, good and bad - you will be amazed at the opportunities that life presents you." - Stacey Charter
