MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

NO SELF-JUDGEMENT

“You judge yourself harder than anyone I have ever met.” Someone once told me this and they have never been alone in expressing that sentiment.

It is hard NOT to criticize ourselves for our shortcomings and flaws. Yet the truth is we will NEVER be “perfect” and it is unreasonable to expect ourselves to be. This does not mean we should not expect highly of ourselves, but because we ARE human and WILL “mess up” sometimes, learn that it is NOT ok to perpetually beat ourselves up when we “fail” to meet the personal standards we have set.

“Today, I will not judge myself.” I saw these words this morning and they hit a chord. That someone was right: I do not judge others, but expect “everything” from myself and always have.

Our self-talk is so very important, the inner dialogue that reverberates inside consciously and unconsciously guiding and driving us in thought and action, and I know better than anyone that we can be our own destruction more than anything else. Imagine, just for a moment, a single day where you do NOT judge yourself and simply LOVE the flawed being that you are.

Maybe it is time to not JUST imagine. Time to release anything negative or toxic withIN, give “freedom” of complete and unconditional acceptance of self. I am willing to try and see what difference it makes.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

HERE NOW WITH THE POWER

You are NOT the person you were yesterday. You are not YET the person you will be tomorrow. You are here NOW, today, part of the old, to become the new, and have the power to CHOOSE what you will take with you from the past into your future.

You are HUMAN. You’ve made mistakes. You’ve got regrets. Welcome to life. The beauty of it is that you are not defined by your mistakes or regrets. You can move past those and embrace the promises and opportunities waiting for you to step INTO.

TODAY is up to you. Tomorrow today will become part of your past. It will be one step closer or one step further from where you want to be and the person you were meant to be. The choices you make, the memories you hold onto in your heart, the lessons you bring with you from the past, the experiences you allow to “shape” you, WILL mould you for tomorrow. Therefore, be wise in what you will and won’t allow, the battles you choose to fight and leave alone, the people you surround your heart and mind with, for it will all play part in the future.

You are what you ALLOW into your soul. You develop BECAUSE of your mistakes and regrets, the consequences that follow, the struggles that you battle. You want the darkness to ILLUMINATE the light, so that you come out BETTER than ever.

Your soul is the most PRECIOUS “thing” you have. It is your own and no one can make it into something YOU do not give permission for. Determine today WHO you want to be and filter in or out anything that has no role or purpose in that vision.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

WHAT YOU WANT

Sometimes we have a dream that we are hesitant to go after because we believe for whatever reason, whether we told it to ourselves or someone else did and we started believing that we do not deserve what we want. That is NOT true. You DO deserve your heart’s desire, the passionate dreams lying in your soul, for they were NOT placed there by accident, and you would not have them if there was no purpose to them or you could not fulfil them in your life and that of others.

IGNORE those who tell you “no”, who say you “can’t” or “shouldn’t”, who have no idea who you are or what you are capable of, those who have let their own dreams fall to the wayside and have no belief or hope left inside them. Instead surge FORWARD, strive on, keep fighting, ensure constant progression towards your goals and dreams, utilizing the power of positive thought and reinforcement, surrounding yourself with people who SUPPORT your ambitions and understand the journey you have embarked upon.

NEVER let anyone tell you that you do not deserve something. NEVER let anyone discourage you from going after your dreams. NEVER let anyone deter you from the destiny that your heart wants for you, especially if INSTINCT and everything in you is screaming out for the FULFILMENT of your dream.

You DO deserve what you want. You DO have the power to make your dreams REALITY. You CAN do this, so OWN it, get out there and MAKE IT HAPPEN!

2013 | Day 89: REALISTICALLY EXPECTING MIRACLES

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

REALISTICALLY EXPECTING MIRACLES

Today those thousands of years ago was a MIRACLE. The events that transpired were UNbelievable and yet they HAPPENED; it canNOT be disputed. LIFE itself is a miracle and one to be CHERISHED, valued above even the most precious of things. Life RESURRECTED, a SECOND chance at giving it another shot, is to be valued even MORE, PRICELESS beyond measure and the most AMAZING of miracles.

Rising from DEATH – shedding of the old skin of the life lived before, life breathed from within the heat of the flames of the fire, rising majestically from out of the old – is nothing to be laughed at. A SECOND chance is nothing to turn your head from. The chance to live AGAIN is the ultimate blessing.

Just as dying for the sake of another is the ultimate SACRIFICE. Yet it was KNOWINGLY done, another miracle altogether and something few would be willing to do, CHOOSING to give their life for another, let alone those they do NOT know. But HE did, and because of that, we are given a chance at SALVATION, a shot at ETERNITY

We have been given a GIFT, a miracle. We have been shown that NOTHING is impossible when you stand on the side of He who created life. We have been given the greatest miracle of all – life. We should make the MOST of it, using the life we have been given as an EXAMPLE of His glory, realistically expecting miracles, as we living, breathing proof of one.

You might not believe in miracles. How can I NOT? I have lived many, seen many, and experienced such revelation of them, that I know NOTHING cannot be UNconceived in reality. Every moment air is drawn into your lungs is a moment of OPPORTUINTY for a miracle to transpire, so always keep your soul OPEN for it.

2012 | Day 285: YOUR STANDARDS

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

YOUR STANDARDS

Never apologize for being YOU. Never apologize for wanting what you want. Never apologize for having STANDARDS. Never apologize for holding OTHERS to the SAME standards as you hold YOURSELF. Never apologize for wanting to see who’s “worthy” of being in your life and deserving of your attention, because they sure as hell won’t apologize when they do the same to you.

You have standards for yourself. You set the bar high. You have expectations you want yourself to meet. You know that your expectations of yourself are higher than what anyone else is ever going to have of you, but that does not matter - what matters is what YOU hold yourself to. What matters is those that accept you for who you are will also accept your standards, and they will also accept that THEY will have to meet certain standards to stay in your life.

In a rare moment of whatever-you-may-call-it, you might allow your standards to drop for the briefest of times. When that happens, those who know you and care about you bring you back UP to your standards, trying to hold YOU there, the way you hold yourself. Those are the people you never want to let go of. Those are the people to cherish. Those are the people who WANT to be in your life.
