MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY


I LIKE WHO I'M BECOMING


I am not the person I was a year ago, nor several months ago, even a week ago or a day ago. Like life and time I am constantly evolving, changing as my soul experiences everything in an hourglass of passion and depression, hope and despair, love and loathing, progress and stagnation. Everything that I see, hear, taste, smell, and do has an impact no matter how small or big, whether I realize it or not, and affects how I ultimately perceive the world, myself, and my position in it.

Constant evolution suggests constant PROGRESS, BECOMING BETTER, leaving behind the shell of who I was, accepting and embracing and stepping into the new, the unknown future and all it holds for me. There is no fear of what is to come, for I have something far greater alongside all the weapons I need to take stance against anything and all who might come against me, knowing that He will ALWAYS have my back, that everything I go through has PURPOSE.

Is there pain? Yes. Is there sorrow? Yes. Is there darkness? Yes. But there is also joy and happiness and light, and it is THOSE things that my soul holds on for, the glimpse of them that hope has afforded me, the woman that I will be at the end of it all, who I am becoming for the one I am being created FOR. There can be no triumph without struggle, no strength without experiencing weakness, no life without the exchange of death, and I have struggled in and with my weakness, dying to be reborn into the life I was MEANT to live.

I am a different creature than I once was. I am changed in ways I never thought I would be. I see things I never thought I would see. I hold dreams I never thought I would ever care for. I have allowed the hard shell of the rock island that I was to be penetrated, a crumbling of the wall that once kept the world at bay and me safe inside, eroding as slowly I step into the light, trembling as I share my soul with the world I stayed aloof from for a lifetime, a shy emergence of a rare softness and vulnerability peeking out from the “machine”.

I am becoming something more than I ever imagined. I am becoming all that I was intended to be. Instead of heaviness there is lightness in my soul, a quiet calm even as there blows a maelstrom, because I know that I am growing into my destiny. I am growing into “my own”, a woman with complete confidence in herself and her abilities and place in the world, at peace with her heart and soul and the desires no longer hidden there. I know some don’t approve of my choices or like the path I have embarked on, but this is MY life, not theirs, and I LIKE who I’m becoming and I WELCOME it.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY


TROUBLED WATERS


If you’ve ever been in the ocean on a stormy day you’ll know what it’s like out there - how rough, the waves pounding down, pummelling the shore, hard and heavy, even in the deeper waters, debris washing ashore, taken from far out to sea. Storms cast wide nets, troubling not just the shore but the HEART of the ocean itself as well, stirring it into a frenzy of confusion and distress.


But storms are not all horrible - they can be BEAUTIFUL and refreshing, and you find your CALM in the midst of all the chaos, clearing your mind of trouble. Amidst that storm, in all the cacophony of thought and action in and around you, you can find an inner STILLNESS, an inner sense of peace, a cleansing touch to wash AWAY the debris from your life and your heart.


We NEED the troubled waters to learn how to survive. We need them to show us how to stay AFLOAT. We are never meant to be there to flounder and struggle, and if we do such, only so that we discover HOW to swim, to TRIUMPH against the odds and come out VICTORIOUS. Troubled waters are just another test, another obstacle we must battle through in life.


In troubled waters we often FIND ourselves, discover what we are truly capable of, what we are willing to do just to stay alive. For none of us want to drown, even if we might think we do - all we want is to know that we’ll be ok, that we are NOT alone in our struggle. Sometimes we must experience that struggle to UNDERSTAND who we are and what we value in life, what we are living FOR and desire with all our soul.


Troubled waters make us do one of the hardest things in the world to do - look INSIDE ourselves and see what is there. Is it a soul worth saving? Of course it is. Is there anything that needs to be let go of and left behind for good? Absolutely. Is there more than we thought possible hidden deep down in the depths? Yes, just waiting for the right time to reveal itself and come into its own.


Troubled waters give us an OPPORTUNITY to say yes or no to life and determine in our hearts how we will LIVE that life if we choose to save it; to see what we are truly made of and capable of being and BECOMING; to see life from a different perspective, CHANGED from the inside out. Troubled waters CLEANSE us and prepare us for what is to come, the future and all the Blessings it has WAITING.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY


UNEXPECTED LIGHT

There shines a light in EVERY soul. Sometimes we do not see it within ourselves. But others do and they make mention. Yet sometimes that light can become dark and needs to be relit. In those times the light shining in OTHERS can “respark” our own and see us glow again.

Light can be found in the most UNEXPECTED of places. Sometimes where we might never have thought it could come from. Surprising us with the magnitude of which that light can shine. Yet sometimes that light can become a source of comfort and looked forward to. In those times simply accept where you are at this moment and just ENJOY the warmth of the embers being stoked back to strength.

Light and dark. Sometimes we do not realize which of our “selves” we let the world see. We do not realize when we sparkle so brightly or darken the heavens. Yet sometimes we are more aware than ever of the effect we have. In those times we come into a “soul awakening” and once aware we can never become UNaware.

When your soul has been “woken” from its slumber life begins to OPEN up. YOU begin to see how every aspect of light and dark affects you and those around you. You begin to understand the IMPACT you can have on another soul. You begin to take CONTROL as much as you possibly can over yourself and your reactions to the world. You live CONSCIOUSLY. You seek to make every aspect of your being and the world around you as “healthy” as possible and encourage GROWTH in all areas.

Sometimes it is the most unexpected of lights that can ILLUMINATE the “darkness” in our lives and aid in bringing us to the CONSCIOUS awareness of “self”. Always be thankful.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY


Are you ready to LEAP into 2016? Leave the past behind, truly and completely, taking with it only yourself and the lessons you have learned and the growth you have made over 2015. Give yourself permission to openly and willingly embrace the ongoing journey of evolutionary and enlightened change that your awakened soul has traversed, striving higher and further than ever, determining that if 2015 was the year of "infinite possibilities", 2016 is going to be the year of "making reality" the possibilities you want and desire. Let yourself FLY!

CATALYST

Sometimes we have to go through what we do to "soften" and become what He intended us to be all along; to see and know what we're made of and for; awakened with purpose. Sometimes what we go through is the change we needed too.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

"I AM A WOMAN."

Might not seem like much, but so much more than one might comprehend. Took a lifetime to accept or want to see and be, but once embraced able to step into the potential power. Still a learning experience, but day by day discovering and becoming all I was created for and meant to be. A simple word, but encompassing a universe of meaning. A body perhaps to many, but even more significant the soul that resides inside to the enlightened souls in the world it lives in. A woman, but not just a woman. What you see is not always what is, but what you "vibe" will always be real.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

CRIMSON [FIRE] GODDESS

Embrace the fire.

Hell is your purifier,

flames the change

lighting your path,

reforging your heart

through the pain,

crimson stain glow

seeping to gold

weeping through your veins

altering your soul,

perception now enlightened,

your inner goddess awakened,

new power stirred,

strength found and grasped

in the heat

of passion that

sets you alight,

brighter than ever

in this world's darkness.

You are

darkness and light,

hell and heaven,

death and life,

destruction and growth,

pain and beauty,

you all at once.

Embrace it all.
