MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

INSPIRED

Life is an AMAZING place when every new day opens up a world of POSSIBILITIES. Endless OPPORTUNITIES for GREATNESS abound and every experience can create more “magic” than might be fathomed. Every moment is a moment of INSPIRATION, from the glimmer of the sun on a dewdrop, to the gentle cold caress of fresh falling snow, to the smile on your lover’s face. EVERY moment is a reason to be THANKFUL that you are ALIVE to live and love and feel and share and simply BE.

Your heart is LIGHTER, your smile BRIGHTER, your eyes GLOWING with the JOY of reveling in the life you find yourself wandering through. The smallest whispers through your soul are those of PEACE and CONTENTMENT with where you are at and who you are allowing to walk WITH you. There are NO doubts or fears or worries, for you have RELEASED and let GO of EVERYthing that was “toxic” to you.

The smallest CHANGE in attitude and mind can make ALL the difference. HOPE fills your footsteps, FAITH guiding your heart, knowledge that your “instinct” will always lead you true and that there is nothing you cannot do. INSPIRED is your soul as it steps FORWARD, smiling, OPEN to embrace what lies ahead.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

COMMITTMENT, POSITIVITY, AND WILLINGNESS

Life is full of struggles, challenges that force us to rise to our POTENTIAL. Some see the hardship in the challenge and give up because they find it too difficult, whilst others CRAVE the challenge and seek every way possible to use the experience to BETTER themselves.

There IS a way through every challenge, if your eyes are OPEN to it, thinking OUTSIDE the box, nurturing creativity and GROWTH in your soul. There is an OPPORTUNITY to DISCOVER new aspects of life and of yourself, gifts waiting to be ACCEPTED and OPENED with wonder.

To FIND the way through life’s challenges you have to be COMMITTED: To yourself, the goal, the dream, allowing your mind to filter away any negativity about the outcome, knowing that if you have faith it will all work out. Not always as you wanted or expected, but in a way that will only ENRICH your life, adding to the wealth of experience you ALREADY have, EXPANDING your mind and heart, and opening up your soul for even MORE blessings.

To get THROUGH life’s challenges, you need to be WILLING to walk the path before you, no matter how daunting or unknown. You have to believe in yourself and your ability to OVERCOME, ensuring POSITIVITY even when your heart might feel faint at some point in the journey. Your willingness to WORK through the obstacles thrown in front of you reveals your soul, the way you seek to conquer them and see them as stepping stones to GROWTH.

Moving through life is a FORWARD journey. You cannot grow if you stay still or move backwards. You HAVE to move forward, ALWAYS forward, focused on the FUTURE stretched before you, knowing that you have the LIMITLESS potential to create in it whatever you want it to BECOME.

COMMIT yourself to the path you have determined to walk. Be POSITIVE about your chances of success. Seek WILLINGLY the path less taken and carve your OWN path. Stride FORWARD in FAITH and BELIEVE for the BEST.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

EFFORT AND SURRENDER

Life takes EFFORT to live, if you want to live COMPLETELY. Yet not always is effort required, and sometimes we must learn to simply SURRENDER and LET life HAPPEN, unfolding as it will in its own [perfect] way.

Life is NOT always about control and sometimes we canNOT control what happens to us, even if we would like to. Sometimes we can do nothing but accept that life is GOING to give us experiences, whether we want them or not. We may not always be able to CHOOSE what experiences we have, but we CAN choose how we RESPOND to them.

We can respond by making an effort or surrendering to the fate that our life might take. Surrender is not something we should do easily OR lightly. If the experience is something that we do NOT wish for, that is harmful to our well-being or damaging to our soul, then we NEED to FIGHT it, do the best with what we have and can to CHANGE it, making the EFFORT to see the POSITIVE in the negative, the light in the dark, and the growth in the destruction.

However, sometimes life gives us experiences that we never sought because we might never have wanted them. Even if the desire for them was never acknowledged in our soul, when we realize what a BLESSING those opportunities are, we should allow ourselves to SURRENDER and appreciate that we ARE being gifted thus. Yet, know that nothing lasts forever and if we desire to KEEP that gift and allow it to CONTINUE to change us, we MUST make an EFFORT to show that not only are we THANKFUL for it, but to GIVE it room to GROW, to NOURISH and NURTURE it to its FULL potential.

Life is a BALANCE between effort AND surrender. Let your INSTINCT guide you on when to exercise which, and watch your life become a story you can use to HELP others on their own journey through it.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

TURN IT ALL AROUND

There is NEVER a time when you do NOT have the power to CHANGE your life: The direction you’re going in, the people in it, the dreams headed towards. EVERY passing minute is an OPPORTUNITY for you to make decisions that will alter the course of your destiny in a way you might never have imagined. Every decision could turn your life AROUND in a way you could never have foreseen and be something that gives you the ultimate experience of your life.

There is never a time when YOU do not have the POWER to change YOUR life. All it requires in BELIEF in yourself: That yes you ARE in control, that your soul instinctively knows best the path to take when you come to a crossroads, that when you’re not sure faith too is powerful beyond belief. Belief and TRUST in something far greater than you: He is ALWAYS there, and even if it might seem sometimes we stumble, it is not for the hurt that we do, but the lesson in preventing the fall, or picking ourselves back up if we fall.

There is never a TIME when YOU do not have the power to change your LIFE: If you stumble, correct your motion as best you can to create the least damage possible; if you fall, get back up as quickly as you can; if you injure yourself in the fall, realize that you do not have to do everything alone and sometimes being strong means admitting you need help. There are people in your life who will never walk away, who would pick you up and carry you if they had to; never forget that.

YOU always have the POWER to CHANGE your life! You ALWAYS have the power to TURN it all AROUND! OPEN your eyes; see through your SOUL; CONNECT with your world. It is ALL there: Everything you need, everyone you need, within and without. Stay TRUE to your soul; KEEP the faith; hold tight to His PROMISES. Know that in the end everything will be all right; you will arrive where you are supposed to, no matter how long or far to get there; it is a truly life-changing journey to BECOMING.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

STAY STRONG

Wherever you are in your life, difficulty WILL happen. It is inevitable and how you RESPOND to it will determine how it affects you not just now, but in the long term. FACE your struggles and accept them for what they are, even if you do not fully understand and see them only as “tests” or “lessons” for what you are not quite sure you are yet supposed to be learning.

Life is a battlefield and we ALL come across a mine in our time. You might have stepped ON it, see it and cannot stop the movement that will result in your contact with it, or it might already be too late and you did not realize what happened until it blew up and left you destroyed. Your decisions from this point forward will determine your destiny, the path that you’re walking on, who you’re walking it with, whether you stay or go, run or hide, fight or flee. Your choices in this MOMENT will start the process that “creates” who you will become.

Stay STRONG and analyze the situation in the time that you have. See the solutions, no matter how “undoable” they may seem and EMBRACE the “challenge” that now opposes you. Use it to test your mettle, your INSTINCT, your desire to SURVIVE. From the depths of your soul will rise a will to LIVE, for it cannot accept defeat, that this is all life has for you, knowing that there is MORE out there and you were intended for GREATER purpose than this. You just have to get THROUGH now to get there.

Breathe DEEP and try to stay calm. Attempt to allow your soul to RELAX, because you need your logic and reality to act on the blink of an eye, knowing that sometimes even the ILLOGICAL and most improbable solution is the “answer” you need to “pass”. Instinct and FAITH, “letting go” of what it “appears” to be and “seeing” what it really is, TRUSTING that this challenge will only bring you out stronger AND better than before, preparing you for that to come.

STAY strong. This is but a MOMENT in a LIFETIME of “moments”. This is but ONE of many “mines” you will stumble across. This is but one decision you will have to make that could either break or create the future you are heading towards. Hold TIGHT the vision of your future, the dream, in your mind, and know that He and your soul will lead you TRUE towards it if you ALLOW it and BELIEVE it.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

GO, LIVE LIFE

Life is short and it is oh so very PRECIOUS. EVERY moment counts and every second matters. Everything you DO has cause and effect. Everything you SAY lingers in a heart or mind or time. Everything you ARE can change the world AROUND you.

SEE the world for what it is and then WORK on making the one YOU live in the way you WANT it to be as much as you can effect and have “power”. As you strive to become the BEST you possibly can, encourage OTHERS to their potential alongside you, showing them that there is ALWAYS hope and NOTHING is “impossible”, that life is a dream to be imagined and made REAL.

LIVE life as you strive, ENJOYING the “moments” that will become memories, GRATEFUL for the blessing of those kindred souls who journey with you and have come to mean more than you ever might have thought. As you open your heart and let your soul SMILE allow yourself simply to “be”, EMBRACING all that you are and will become, INVITING the future and opportunity for GROWTH, inspiring movement and momentum of vision and promise.

EVERYthing has PURPOSE. Every “chance” is a gift given, a mystery to unravel, a wonder to behold, a blessing to be shared. Every NEW day is another day to unlock potential, change in ways that might have once been unfathomable, experience the amazing in the “normal”, make a DIFFERENCE as only YOU can. RECOGNIZE it and take control, even as you let Him “lead”, understanding that every day is His gift to you, your “second chance” to live a life of choices that will create positive example to INSPIRE courage and “risk” in others to LIVE their lives as COMPLETELY as possible as well.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

RISE UP

The night has passed in its darkness and all things hidden suddenly alight within it, words said and emotions wrought as a soul grasps itself together yet one more time. But yes, the night has PASSED and is no more. In that should be the same of what transpired within it: Let gone and let go and given to Him, for some things our soul should not bear if we want to stand unencumbered by chains of any kind, even those we might have once placed upon ourselves.

The day dawns, the fingers of light reaching across the sky reaching for you, to remind you that light pushes AWAY darkness and a NEW day has begun. A new day and a new time, giving you another opportunity to start fresh and claim it as your own, your life to walk forward in His grace and share YOUR light with the world.

As we grow in darkness, so too do we grow in light, and all that occurs in darkness will eventually be revealed in the light. Let not the darkness be the strength creeping in your soul, but take from it iron strength and indomitable will to mesh with the positive energy and healing love of the light.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

LISTEN

The ground beneath you is unstable, threatening to collapse beneath you, but you have NO fear because you know that it NEEDS to for you to rise to the NEXT level of your life. Your eyes are OPEN to see the outstretched hands above you, knowing now that there ARE those who care and WANT to see you move FORWARD in your life, who want to walk WITH you through life, not because they want something from you, but because they SEE you and “get it”. They get WHO you are and understand where you have been, knowing where you are GOING, desiring to be a part of the NEW life that God is opening up and creating for you to step into.

You need no one to tell you what you want, because you suddenly REALIZED it, waking one morning to find that everything had CHANGED, that little voice in your soul whispering truths you had until now tried to deny to yourself, thinking that if you ignored them, they would go away and be less real, but now, knowing that they are NOT, nor wanting them to disappear, READY to allow them opportunity to GROW and FLOURISH in your life, the one you are stepping INTO.

You know now that you are NOT alone. You know now your HEART. You know now what you SEEK in your future. You know now that you are READY. This is YOUR time, to take a chance on something you would never have risked for before, to give yourself more room to GROW and OPEN your soul to the wonders He has waiting for you. There is no better time than NOW. LISTEN to that inner voice, ACCEPT and reach for those outstretched hands, and LET yourself live life the way you were always INTENDED to.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

EVERY DAY

The shadows of yesterday fade in the sunrise of the new day. The burdens weighting down your shoulders can be lifted after a night of rest. The eyes that looked like a storm can sparkle with hope and life.

Every day is a NEW day. Another chance to make a CHANGE, to CREATE the dream your heart has been calling for. Another chance to make life as you WANT it and not just allow yourself to accept and settle for the circumstances you find yourself in.

CLOSE the door on yesterday. Let its troubles not weary your soul, but take from it the lessons learned and put them to use with a smile, knowing that you will not go back from whence you came, but only surge FORWARD, gaining momentum that propels you into the destiny awaiting you. Accept the people in your life and know that there is a PURPOSE for each one, and take delight in the time you have when you have it, because you never know when that time will be gone.

You have wanted a FRESH start for a long time now. Today brings a NEW chance to turn your life into the life you want and dream of, to take the risks your soul knows you must, to leave behind the abuse you have allowed yourself to endure, to stop running from the heart that seeks you, to allow that smile to grow as you do.

If you want a new BEGINNING, this is it. This is your chance, your time to ACT. Take the opportunity and move with it as far as it will take you, and when you can go no further, keep the faith and CONTINUE on, for life is not over until YOU are, and He has GREAT plans for your future!

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

CHNAGE IS

Change can be a scary thing. It can also be an exhirilating feeling. It can open up your life to amazing opportunities never offered it before. It can take you into the UNknown.

The unknown can cause a sense of FEAR. Fear of what is to come and what it will mean; of failing expectation placed on you by yourself and others; of falling too far down that you might not be able to pick yourself back up. Fear is a natural response to change, but you do not have to let it control you or the decisions you face and make.

Change is a big thing. It can mean many things to different people, but more often than not, it means walking down ANOTHER path than the one you were traveling on. It means trusting in your instinct, in your soul and heart and dreams, having faith in something greater than yourself that this new path is one that will only enrich your life in ways you cannot yet imagine.

Change means GROWTH. Without opening yourself up to it you do not give your soul a chance to grow and “evolve”, and if you always stay where you are, your life will become stagnant and stale, and then you are no longer living but merely existing, which is no life at all. Change brings new life into your own; new people who spark something in you that might never have been sparked by anyone else; new dreams to embrace and build upon; second chances to live the way you always wanted to and be the person you were always meant to be.

Change, whilst initially “scary”, is nothing but wonderful, especially when you reflect and see the path you have trodden, what has brought you to this place and the life that awaits; beautiful because He has gifted you with such opportunity to grow into the butterfly you have potential within yourself to be, and soar to heights of GREATNESS.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

YOU HAVE THE POWER

If you want something in your life, YOU have to go AFTER it. If you want something to change, YOU have to MAKE it happen. YOU have to DO it. YOU have to create your OWN future. YOU have the power to determine your DESTINY.

DELIGHT in the Blessings that have been given to you. OPEN your heart and allow people in. ACCEPT that people change and that sometimes it is time to let them go to allow something better to become. TAKE the chance because it might become something more precious than you ever imagined. NEVER settle for less than what you deserve.

If life is not the way you desire it to be, KNOW what you want and then take the necessary steps to MAKE it your REALITY. You have always had the POWER and you always WILL. If you want something to CHANGE, you have to be the one to INITIATE that change. YOU have to be the one to see it THROUGH. You have to be the one to take RESPONSIBILITY for creating the OPPORTUNITY for your life to evolve and move to the NEXT level.

You should constantly be HUNGRY to become BETTER, never “settling” but always striving to BE the change you want to see. Although you never want to be “satisfied” to stay in one place, happiness is always there is you allow it to be, so enjoy the time you have and the people you have in it, and never take a moment for granted, even if you are not yet where and who you want to be. Life is a mountain that you NEVER stop climbing, but there are always plateaus along the way where you can pause and just ENJOY it, knowing how far you have come. Then you look UP and know that you can choose to stay where you are or keep ON climbing, the choice to continue all on YOU.

Take RESPONSIBILITY for your life. Accept the CHALLENGE to always climb higher. Determine to make your life what YOU want it to be. Know that the POWER to change lies with you. It’s all on YOU.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

LOSE NORMALCY. CLAIM AUTHENTICITY.

You were created UNIQUE for a reason. If God wanted you to be like everyone else He would have made a world of clones – He did NOT and no one individual has the same tune in their soul as another. No one is “normal” – even if the world tries to create such a label and seeks to place everyone under such an umbrella.

Standing OUTSIDE the umbrella – away from the “safety”, the “comfort zone”, the “normalcy” – the world is a very different place. But, it is more real – it embraces the opportunity for change AND growth. It does not care about the “expectations” under the umbrella and does not live by the unspoken “rules” governed there.

Under the umbrella you surrender your soul into the keeping of the world – you become “normal”. Outside the umbrella you might be alone, but you are allowed to EVOLVE – life is a constant revolution of your soul as you live and learn and perpetually “recreate”. Your life, although filled with “mistakes” and experiences that break or hurt or harden or open you, is REAL.

Living AUTHENTICALLY means casting aside the expectations of the world and living only with your OWN – you set the standards for yourself and all that matters is whether or not you live up to them. You set yourself apart – your life might be an example to others of a “rebel”, but they see you live and change and it creates “inspiration” to encourage them to step out from the umbrella into the open for them.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

NEW

A year ago this date a pretty significant event for me occurred. It was significant in the mere fact that I even LET it happen. What followed began the journey of a heart opening up to life and the possibilities and dreams it had never dared before. A different type of strength was born, and emboldened by that strength a NEW creature began to emerge.

It is funny how fast time goes and how quickly everything can CHANGE even as nothing changes. I can look back and smile and feel that warm glow in my heart, even as that journey has ended and that creature no longer exists. I can look back and smile BECAUSE of the strength that still exists, even as it has developed and grown into something more than would have been imagined this date a year ago.

For this day is not this date a year ago. It is a NEW day. It is not a time for looking back except to remember fondly the happiness in such moments that were and learn from the experiences that sprung forth from them. It is a time for NEW strength to be moulded and new words to be written in a new chapter of this life.

With EVERY new day that dawns comes the opportunity for new adventures to begin, new dreams to be realized, new thoughts to be created, new strength to be born. It is a chance for RENEWAL of your soul, heart and mind, releasing what we have no control over to Him and taking accountability to change what we can make a difference in.

Every new day is the chance to CHOOSE to accept that the past no longer is, but that the lessons learnt are valuable. It is a chance to EMBRACE the new waiting, taking the strength you know exists and allowing it to let your smile be real, your heart to still hope, your faith to truly believe, and you to simply “be”, even as you will not let yourself stand still, constantly desiring forward movement.

As the new day starts take a moment to still your soul. Breathe in deeply and clear your mind. Seek the strength of your soul and pull it close. As it rises from within let it push away anything that would hinder your heart in moving FORWARD. Let your mind follow it, new footprints on sands wiped clean from the waves, new thoughts with new COURAGE at first a tiptoe and then a running leap becoming bounds.

New day. New strength. New thoughts. New beginning. New creature. BETTER YOU.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

OPEN TO THE POSSIBILITIES

Your life is NOT yet over. There is STILL air in your lungs, even if sometimes they feel like someone has crushed them beneath the weight of the world. There is still hope in your heart, even if sometimes it feels as if you’re clinging to it by the MEREST of slivers. There is still faith in your soul, even if sometimes you wonder why and ask yourself what you are holding on FOR.

There is still LIFE in your life, even if sometimes you cannot see the way or know what the next step to take is. There are multitudes of POSSIBILITIES swirling around you, just waiting for you to open your eyes to see them for what they are; to see them standing there in front of you wanting you to see them, as you want yourself to be seen.

There IS love out there for you. It might have had folded arms and guarded smiles, but it IS there; as cautious as you because it has been hurt over and over, scars it wears proudly because it still has the courage to believe that it WAS meant for this life, beauty that only another soul who sings the SAME tune can see and appreciate.

Life is FULL of infinite possibilities. Endless opportunities call YOUR name. You could walk in ANY of myriad directions. You could traverse far MORE than one ocean. YOU could live a life of untold wonder and unimagined joy. You just have to SEE it. You have to realize it and understand that it IS there for you. You have to be OPEN to it. You have to step INTO it.

Taking that FIRST step is always the hardest. Walking AWAY from what you know for what you don’t is always apprehensive. Opening up your heart and soul again for something new is always a RISK. But all the risk in the world is WORTH it, because without it, you would never truly know what it is like to be blessed, to live happiness, to experience peace, to grow and evolve, and to REALLY live.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

FEEL THE RAIN

There was a tornado the other night. It started with simple streaks of lightning flashing through the sky intermittently. Then came the thunder bellowing in our midst. And then you heard the rain, slashing against the windows, the wind tearing at the trees like they were paper dolls it wanted to rip to pieces and scatter. It was harsh and being out in it would not have been pleasant. But inside, watching it, hearing it, sitting in the darkness and just letting the sound seep into your soul, it was calming and almost peaceful, despite the storm it created outside.

When it rains, sometimes it is light raindrops that you barely settle on your skin, brushing over you as if they were specks of dust. But sometimes it pours and you feel every drop, like a slap on your arm, leaving a stain of wet, making sure you felt it.

When it rains, some people only notice the wet, the uncomfortability it presents, the inconvenience it can cause. Others see it for what it is, allowing themselves to stand amidst it, feeling it on their skin, dripping and streaking across their body, metaphorically “washing away” the old to make way for the new, and giving them a “clean slate” and “new chance” to “start over”. The rain is not just water, and if you look deep enough into life and what beauty it can create when one might see it as an “inconvenience” or “drudgery”, and when you do, open your soul to what more it has to offer.

When it rains, are you the one that rushes to get out of the “wet” into the dry, where you can “predict” and “control” what happens? Or are you the one who takes a moment and stays outside, closing your eyes and turning your face to it, welcoming the “change” that those still and quiet moments can bring?

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

CHALLENGES AND GROWTH

Life is a MOVING challenge. WithIN it are even MORE challenges. Some not so hard; others that test us to our limits. The HARDER the challenge and more desperate the struggle, when we are fighting for life itself and the stakes are the highest they can possibly go, pushing us to the edge of sanity, THAT is when there is the greatest potential for GROWTH. THAT is when we are forced to become BETTER, when we have no choice BUT to make a decision, that decision determining our future forthwith.

EVERY day we are challenged. Every day we are faced with decisions that will either cause us to lose momentum or propel us FORWARD. The harder the decision, the faster the fall if we turn backwards, but also the greater the success waiting for us if we are brave enough to CONTINUE on and through. The harder the challenge and more life-changing the decision we are forced to make, the greater the opportunity we have for taking charge of our destiny and FULFILLING our purpose.

Running from challenges will NOT serve you well, nor remove you from the eventual decision you WILL have to make. Running only shows a lack of courage and conviction, a stagnant soul who cannot even face its own shadow. That is NOT you! YOU MUST TURN AND FIGHT! You must ACCEPT the challenges as they come, for without them, you cannot become better, and your mission is to be ALL that you have potential to be. Always remember, the harder the challenge, the greater the STRENGTH you develop to face life. CHOOSE GROWTH.

2013 | Day 55: FRESH START

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

FRESH START

There is hope at the start of every dawn. Light spreading its way through the world and your heart. Faith infused in your soul believing in the future. Gratitude overflowing from that deep and secret place inside so far down no one else can see it. For what you have been given. A new day. Another chance. A fresh start.

Be thankful that He deemed you worthy of such a gift. That He is not the only one who has forgiven your transgressions. Waste not every opportunity that comes your way to show how much you care. To show how much you love. To leave no room for doubt of your devotion.

Let the hope that rises with the sun stay with you far after the sun has set. Let it linger in the depths of your soul. Let it surprise you with its joy. Let the quiet comfort it affords breathe calmness in your spirit. Let it help your mind relax. Let it keep the light of life alive inside.

After the darkness of a night without stars comes the most beautiful of dawns. Turn your face to the sun and let its warmth seep through your being. Soak up the beauty of its aura. Capture the promise of its magnificence. Remember always the joy it gives to your heart and never let it go.

Use the new day that you have been given. To do all that you can. Leave nothing on the table. Give it everything you’ve got. Be thankful for everything He has blessed you with. Be thankful for everything He has given back that was taken away. Be thankful that you took the risk and flew. Now fly higher than you ever have before!

2012 | Day 325: COMMITTMENT, POSITIVITY, AND WILLINGNESS

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

COMMITTMENT, POSITIVITY, AND WILLINGNESS

Life is full of struggles, challenges that force us to rise to our POTENTIAL. Some see the hardship in the challenge and give up because they find it too difficult, whilst others CRAVE the challenge and seek every way possible to use the experience to BETTER themselves.

There IS a way through every challenge, if your eyes are OPEN to it, thinking OUTSIDE the box, nurturing creativity and GROWTH in your soul. There is an OPPORTUNITY to DISCOVER new aspects of life and of yourself, gifts waiting to be ACCEPTED and OPENED with wonder.

To FIND the way through life’s challenges you have to be COMMITTED: To yourself, the goal, the dream, allowing your mind to filter away any negativity about the outcome, knowing that if you have faith it will all work out. Not always as you wanted or expected, but in a way that will only ENRICH your life, adding to the wealth of experience you ALREADY have, EXPANDING your mind and heart, and opening up your soul for even MORE blessings.

To get THROUGH life’s challenges, you need to be WILLING to walk the path before you, no matter how daunting or unknown. You have to believe in yourself and your ability to OVERCOME, ensuring POSITIVITY even when your heart might feel faint at some point in the journey. Your willingness to WORK through the obstacles thrown in front of you reveals your soul, the way you seek to conquer them and see them as stepping stones to GROWTH.

Moving through life is a FORWARD journey. You cannot grow if you stay still or move backwards. You HAVE to move forward, ALWAYS forward, focused on the FUTURE stretched before you, knowing that you have the LIMITLESS potential to create in it whatever you want it to BECOME.

COMMIT yourself to the path you have determined to walk. Be POSITIVE about your chances of success. Seek WILLINGLY the path less taken and carve your OWN path. Stride FORWARD in FAITH and BELIEVE for the BEST.

2012 | Day 311: BE BOLD

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

BE BOLD

Life waits for no one. It casts opportunities your way and if you don’t take hold of them, it snatches them away just as quickly. Sometimes though, it does not give you anything and you have to CREATE those opportunities yourself. You have to be BOLD in going after what you want - if YOU don’t, no one else will do it for you.

Be bold. In your pursuit of life, your pursuit of dreams, your pursuit of passion. Don’t be afraid of what you want. If you’re not given the opportunity, don’t be discouraged; know that there is ALWAYS a way. BELIEVE it.

Be bold. If you want something, it’s up to YOU to MAKE it HAPPEN! Don’t wait until it MIGHT happen for you - take the first step; reach out; use everything you have at your disposal, to find a way to make your desires a reality.

Be bold. When you are bold, you will find things start to happen for you. You find support and encouragement, sources of advice and information, people who can and want to help you. Doors open where before there may have been none.

Be bold. You’ll be surprised at what can happen. The journey might be difficult, with many obstacles placed in your path, but when you are driven to succeed, those obstacles just give you strength.

Be bold. The world notices DOERS, those who have a burning desire to ACHIEVE their goals, and even if it might not agree, it applauds them and provides means to aid in their quest. It might take time, but when you accomplish what you want, it makes everything worth it.

2012 | Day 272: CUT AWAY THE STRINGS

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

CUT AWAY THE STRINGS

What happens when you step into the UNknown? Do you even DARE venture to a place you have NEVER been before? Does your heart have the COURAGE?

In order to TRULY live we MUST step OUTSIDE our comfort zone. We MUST experience the UNfamiliar in order to LEARN. We NEED to be CHALLENGED so that we can GROW.

When you allow yourself to fall OVER the edge of everything that is known it can be a scary place, but it can also be EXHILARATING. It can set you FREE, as you OPEN up your soul and heart and mind to the NEW and POSSIBLE.

You’ve been THINKING about it. Subconsciously your HEART has been begging for it. Your soul is READY for it. It’s just up to you to take the FIRST step.

The first step is always the HARDEST. It’s always the most trepidatious, when we leave BEHIND what we know for the unknown, casting aside the safety net that we might have relied on or clung to, allowing ourselves to be VULNERABLE.

The first step is always the hardest, but without it our life would not be REWARDING and we would stay stagnant where we are. Our soul does not long for CHANGE without REASON. Our minds do not wander with POSSIBILITY if we are content to stay where we are.

We should NEVER be content to STAY in one place, to never know what it is like to step away from all we know and just have FAITH. For you FIND yourself in the UNknown, discovering who you are and what you are CAPABLE of, and what you are capable of is far MORE than you realize. You BECOME when you EMBRACE life and allow yourself to move WITH it.

Cut AWAY the strings that bind you and find out what it is like to live in a realm where ANYthing is POSSIBLE, wonder is ENDLESS, and GROWTH is INevitable.
