MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY
ONE STEP FORWARD
Each day is a NEW day. A new day to take another
CHANCE. A new day to take ANOTHER step. Another step FORWARD in the direction
of your dreams. Another step forward, no matter how small. For even the
smallest of steps is PROGRESS towards the fulfilment of the ultimate
achievement. The ultimate achievement of the ULTIMATE dream. Whatever that may
be. For it is different to each and every individual. But no matter what, I
canNOT be stopped. I cannot be stopped from TAKING that step. I cannot be
stopped from reaching that one bit FURTHER. I cannot be stopped from STRIVING
for “just one more”. I cannot be stopped from doing my BEST, even if my “best”
on any given day is not as good as it has been in the past or will be in the
future. I will have given my best, my all on that day, and that is what
MATTERS. What matters is moving FORWARD. What matters is keeping the dream
ALIVE. Keeping the dream alive in my HEART and the hearts of those I touch. For
when I touch others, I make a DIFFERENCE. And when you make a difference,
especially in a dream, you can CHANGE the world. ONE step at a time.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY
TODAY
Last year I wrote on dreams – the ones in our heart and soul
that give us something to “live for” and then the ones that we LIVED. It has
been a long year and I have watched my dreams [sometimes] be almost the only
threads holding me here, some given only to be cruelly snatched away, some
change with time, and some stay unwavering, as others that had started to peek
out returned to slumber.
Dreams can be so much, yes, but they can also take away as
well, and we have to be careful what dreams we allow to dwell in our hearts and
rest on our souls, for in the end those dreams are the ones that “become” us,
as we merge everything we are into them. Dreams can destroy us or they can
create us, forge a demon or angel.
Life itself is indeed a “dream”, but in a dream we can only
act in the moment. Today that moment is now – it is called “today”. Yesterday
is an opportunity gone and if not taken, might be lost forever, and tomorrow is
an opportunity not yet come and might not come to pass, so you have to make the
most of TODAY and the opportunity presented TODAY.
You can seek solace in memories or you can build castles on future
aspirations. Better yet, you can give yourself into the action of creating and
living a dream - YOUR dream, NOW, TODAY, in the present moment, allowing your
soul to be open to the possibilities waiting, your heart [cautiously] open to
those knocking, your mind open to something that might have been considered
unentertainable in the past.
Time changes our souls, and when our souls change, so do our
hearts and minds. A year is such a short period and this last one has gone by
so fast that I still remember this day last year like it was yesterday, even as
it has also been a lifetime that has aged my soul far more than the simple span
of a year, to the point of where I wonder if I will recognize myself in another
year.
But, whatever comes, whatever happens, who and what I have to
face to fight for my right and worth in this world, I know that the decisions I
make TODAY will play their part in determining tomorrow, and that tomorrow is
uncertain, so while what might be might be, I will be grateful for the
blessings I have TODAY, acknowledging and accepting the love and life, as I
keep my faith and believe for my future.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY
LET YOURSELF HEAL
Grieving is a NATURAL process. It is unfair to ask one who has experienced loss NOT to grieve. It is cruel to expect them to feel nothing for something that was so very PRECIOUS to them. Even if you do not understand the importance, give them the time that they need to HEAL. Give them the support that they might need in such a time, just to let them know they’re not alone.
In the same regard, you need to LET yourself heal. If you have suffered such tragedy in a loss that renders your soul in pieces, you cannot continue to go on as if nothing has happened. You cannot lie to yourself as well as everyone else and pretend that you are fine and ok, and that the sudden hole in your heart does not affect you in ways that you could never imagine it would.
It is OK to be sad. It is ok to GRIEVE. It is ok to take TIME to let yourself heal. No one can know the depths to which the loss you have suffered affects you. Only you know that, once you have moved past the denial and let the pain touch your soul. When it touches your soul and floods you with the dreams you suddenly realize your heart held, you need to grasp onto them and know that even in death, they are STILL alive.
The loss of a loved one, even one you have never met or who had yet to draw breath, has an IMPACT on your soul. Especially the loss of a life you had living inside you, whether you were ambivalent about its existence or not. EVERY life is precious and the loss of even a sliver of it is a tragedy, even if it takes time to “catch up” to the emotion felt in its wake.
You NEED to let yourself heal. You need to let yourself FEEL. You need to let yourself understand the dream you had buried so deep in your soul that it took such a loss to fully realize that it IS one you want, something secretly and desperately desired, and hold tight to your faith, hoping with all your soul, that it is a dream that will live on until it has been FULFILLED.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY
WHAT YOU BRING TO THE WORLD
You ARE special. You are UINQUE. You bring something to the world that NO ONE else can.
Life is not about what you can TAKE from it. It is about what you can GIVE to it. And what you “give” is what you have to BRING.
Ask yourself, what sets you APART from others? What talents and abilities do you have that allow you to “create” something that no one else CAN? What makes YOUR light shine? Where does your PASSION lie?
The world will be here no matter what you DO, whether we live or die. Yet what kind of place it is, especially in YOUR sphere of influence, depends on what you bring to it.
Seek to GIVE. Become a “servant”, but without sacrificing yourself in the process. Strive to become the BEST that you can, so that the world might also have your “best”.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY
PEACE OF MIND
There are many things in this life that we canNOT control. Both in our personal AND professional lives. The key is to RECOGNIZE those things and then to take steps to change the things we CAN change. Accepting that we are not always going to be the one with the power to control everything can be hard for most of us, but at the same time, if we cannot control it; neither should we let it stress us out by trying TO control it. If there is something that we have no control over, let it GO and work on the aspects that ARE within your power to change. Focus on the aspects that YOU oversee, the areas where YOU are the one pulling the strings.
If something is out of your hands and you do NOT like it, do something about it. Remove yourself from that situation, excuse yourself from the person or role, or just let it lie and do your best to work within the bounds placed upon you. Do NOT let it affect your peace of mind, because if you do, it will drive you crazy. It will become a sickness, negativity seeking to spread not just through you, but to others, as you unconsciously project the disturbance in yourself.
You want only to share POSITIVE vibes, to help create an atmosphere conducive to positive change and effects. Therefore, centre yourself and let that beyond your control GO, doing what you can where you can. Letting something go is hard, but in the long-term it is the BEST thing for you to do. Your HEALTH, especially your mental health, IS important.
