MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

STRONGER THAN YOU THINK

What you’re going through now – God didn’t give it to you because He knew you couldn’t handle it; He gave it to you because He knew you COULD. He would NEVER have given you something He knew was NOT in your capability to handle, if the strength you needed was not already inside you just waiting to be found and used.

Sometimes we are given struggles so that we might FIND our strength and realize that we had it all along. Sometimes those struggles are given to DEVELOP the strength dormant in us, the strength we never might have thought we had; or maybe the strength we were not sure we wanted to see. Sometimes our struggles only make us realize just WHAT we have within us.

What faces you might seem daunting. You might not be able to share it with another soul, or only one other, and it is tearing you apart – such are the tests of life, the trials that “make us” when we REFUSE to break. Know that whatever the circumstances, He KNOWS you ARE strong enough – you might just have to get down on your knees and cry out for it, trusting that He will “give” it.

When life delivers such a blow, crippling your soul so that you feel like darkness is your only escape route, wanting to run and hide from the world for a time or maybe forever, understand and take some comfort, hard as it might seem amidst the pain, that though it is not a way YOU would have chosen, you are “given” the life you lead BECAUSE you are strong ENOUGH to live it.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

DON'T GIVE UP NOW

Now is NOT the time to give up. Not when you have come this FAR. Not when you have fought so HARD for your heart and soul, future and dreams. Not when you have begun to UNDERSTAND your world and have learnt so much, tried beyond all effort previously given, investing EVERYthing that you are in WHERE you are now and WHO you stand with.

NOW is not the time to give up. There is NEVER a time to give up. Not on THIS. Not on the LIFE your heart wants more than anything now that it knows it is more than just a dream, the dream your mind now believes in for YOU, the PEACE your soul has craved for a lifetime and now has experienced. Not on your FUTURE.

Life will never be easy always and you have to EXPECT that. It does not mean that just because there are difficulties to overcome that your dream/s are not meant to be, for they are not placed in your heart without PURPOSE. When life gets tough, that’s when you fight HARDER, hold on longer and tighter, and give it even more than you ever thought possible, to KEEP what is so PRECIOUS to your soul.

Life will always hold CHOICES for you to pick. Make sure the choices you make will not cause REGRET come the end of your time. Make sure the path that you walk does NOT cause an ache that will last until that end. Make sure that if something is so precious to you, you live for it with ALL that you are and hold NOTHING back, so that when all is said and done, you have NO regrets.

2012 | Day 243: HOLD ONTO HOPE

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

When your feel your light start fading, your star fall from the heavens towards the hard earth, your eyes wilt like a flower past its bloom, disillusioned with life, HOLD ONTO HOPE. DON’T GIVE UP. NOT YET. It ’s NOT OVER YET. There is so much MORE to live FOR. There is so much more to DO. Your life has a PURPOSE, meaning to many even if your mind does not see it in that moment, and to deprive the world of your light would be a terrible thing. So hold your head up high, find that strength in your soul, and resolve to CONTINUE living, keeping the Faith and holding onto Hope, as if you have nothing else left if need be. When your heart despairs remember His Promises of wanting only the Best for you, of a BRILLIANT future waiting to be stepped INTO, opportunities waiting to be taken, love waiting for you to have let go of what you must before you can have the full beauty and joy of the one He has in mind for you. Life may be a fairy-tale written by HIS hands, but it is YOUR sketchbook, to create and make designs of your own, watch the reality of your dreams come to life before you, so hold onto hope and know that everything will be OK.

"'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
