MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY


WHO YOU ARE


There are so many people willing to tell you who they think you should be and what they think you should do. IGNORE them. The ONLY person you should be listening to when it comes to who to be is YOU. YOU are the one who lives with your SOUL. YOU are the one who has to live YOUR life. YOU are the one who has to like who YOU are. Because YOU are the one who has to live with you ALL the time and be ABLE to.


In this day and age, being “different” is either sin or celebrated, hated or adored, as “fads” come and go and society changes on a whim. Regardless, who you ARE is NOT a “fad”, and unlike fashion, which “trends”, with often only the “highest” in society showcasing it, YOU are ALWAYS “in style” and NO one else will EVER be able to “be” you, no matter how hard they might try to, once they see you and realize just HOW special and precious your “one-of-a-kind” is.


You are “YOU”. Simply “YOU”. There is no other “label”; no way to describe you aside, because there are no words that can explain the depths and facets of the ever evolving creature that you are. One can only understand once they have known you, a privilege rare few have ever truly been allowed, but that more in the future will be given the chance to, albeit an opportunity still only “offered” a special select, because, even though the world now knows “of” you, you are careful whom you “share” yourself with.


The world will call you many things. Crazy. Mad. Genius. Dreamer. Weird. Strange. Different. You should be FLATTERED. You stand OUT. Everything the world “calls” you because you are YOU is what makes you IRREPLACEABLE. Everything about you, from your flaws to your quirks to your mind to your heart and soul, is BEAUTIFUL. And it is the greatest PRIVILEGE in the world to “simply be you”; as you are, without requiring explanation. Accept it. Embrace it. Love it. Be it. Be YOU.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

BEAUTIFUL MADNESS

No one is perfect. In fact, it is our IMPERFECTIONS that make us WHO we are, that make us BEAUTIFUL, that make us stand OUT. Besides, who wants to be perfect? If you’re perfect you never change, you never grow, and you never become better. And life is all about change, growth, and building on what is already there, layer upon layer, creating the complex and beautiful being that we are and were intended to be. Beauty is not in perfection; it is in IMperfection.

We all see the world differently. Therefore we each define the world and the way we experience it differently to everyone else. The world cannot be put into a small, square box, like some would will it, neat and clean and tidy and specifically labelled as something. Our DIFFERENCES make us unique. What some call “madness” others call “genius” and just because others have a certain perspective of you does not mean it is truth. All genius is discovered and created from what is always seen as “madness”.

Life is meant for LIVING. Dancing and laughing in the rain just because you can. Loving when all seems impossible, because the greatest happiness comes from dreaming and following our hearts. Taking the odds because you’d rather risk than play it safe. Standing OUTside the circle of others, because carving your own path is better than blending in and losing yourself.

Life is for making an IMPRESSION. On ALL whose paths you cross. And there is no greater impression left than that of one who KNOWS who they are, completely confident in it, striding through life with passion and purpose, imperfectly beautiful, the sparkle of mad genius like a halo around them, so wonderfully and unexpectedly different from the rest of the world that they are never forgotten, leaving a small part of themselves in the soul of all their lives touch.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

MAINTAIN YOUR JOY

We are all not long for this world, so why NOT take JOY in it while you still have the chance. No matter how you are, no matter what your circumstances, there is always going to be someone better off than you, but there is also always going to be someone with much less than you.

When you find yourself in the depths of despair, your happy gone, LOOK around you. There is so much to live FOR. There are so many BLESSINGS waiting to be accepted. There are so many opportunities BOUNDLESS in your path. There is so much to SMILE about.

Life is GOOD. GOD is good. You are still alive to take PLEASURE in the world. You are still breathing to be able to make a DIFFERENCE. That difference might not be in your own life, but in that of ANOTHER who is struggling.

Stop hiding your smile and light up the world with it. You have no idea how many people think your smile is BEAUTIFUL. You have no idea how many people are ENCOURAGED by your smile. You have no idea how many people find that the world is a BRIGHTER place when you smile.

FIND your JOY and hold it CLOSE to your heart. Hold it close, so that when you feel heaviness in your soul it is right there for you to take comfort in, to remind you of all that you have and are and can be. Instead of letting yourself become a dark cloud MAINTAIN your joy and watch how your perspective CHANGES.

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.

2012 | Day 242: BE the CHANGE to MAKE a DIFFERENCE!

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

If you want to change the world, you must first change YOURSELF. And once you have done that, you must surround yourself with those who are doing the same thing - changing themselves and living with a higher PURPOSE, those who want to CHANGE the world and make a DIFFERENCE. Seek them out and walk with them. Like-minds will also be drawn TO you, and together unite in your cause to make as much difference as you can, everywhere you can, to as many as you can, as long as you can. Be a dreamer, a doer, a VISIONARY, a LEADER. Be someone who makes a DIFFERENCE, an IMPACT on ALL whose paths they cross and lives they touch, if even only for the briefest of moments. Be someone UNforgettable for the inspiration you light in hearts and soul, and bring your dream to MANIFESTATION. You were born for GREATNESS, and greatness makes a DIFFERENCE.
