MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

Your life is but one in immeasurable threads in the tapestry of life and will touch more than you know, crossing over and under, between and through, even wrapping around others. In the same way, other threads will come in contact with your own, some wrapping tight around you to create a mess, albeit a beautiful mess. Yet no matter how much beauty in the initial entanglement, time has a way of revealing the true colour and nature of each thread, and should those that surround you dramatically or seek to forcibly change the unique vibration of your own, you must determine whether to stay and let the mess become an ugly ruin, extricate your thread as best you can, or cut it off and allow what was lost in the mess be as you start a new weaving in a different part of life's tapestry.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY


WITHOUT PASSION

Without passion life is NOTHING. It is merely existing. And life is not for “existing”, surviving, hoping to get through the next storm. It is for LIVING. Living is done with PASSION. It is done with an excitement and joy, DELIGHT taken in the “small” moments that become magical memories we never forget. It is done when we “throw” our heart and soul into a mission, so much that the passion we exude becomes CONTAGIOUS to all around us. It is when others can SEE us “glow”, the light from our soul escaping through the eyes into the world, “igniting” a spark inside them that creates a “domino effect”.


Without PASSION life is nothing. It is going through the motions. And life is not for “going through the motions”, having no real drive or purpose. It is for LIVING. Living is creating an “unforgettable” story that INSPIRES others through the way that life is lived. It is being scared and STILL taking the risk to leap from the cliff into the “unknown”, whether you find your wings on the way down to the rocks below and soar above the tumultuous waves, or plummet into the ocean depths. It is for sharing your life “experience” so that others can LEARN from it.


Life SHOULD be lived with passion. Passion INSPIRES the world. It CREATES beauty in chaos and purpose in uncertainty. It MASTERS the “art” of living and presents us a glimpse of heaven. It is the START of all things great achieved in this world, all mighty tasks undertaken, no matter the consequences. It instigates a soul into BEING, to bring it to “completeness”, as best as one can be, in being ALL that they can be, turning “potential” into REALITY.

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


HOW MUCH DIFFERENCE WE MAKE

Just because we are alive does not give us the right to live selfishly - well, we have that CHOICE, but it’s not our PURPOSE here. We are alive for a mission - our purpose is to help OTHERS become better, whether we do that through sharing our life’s story and message and experiences, or just aiding another with something they are new to, struggling with, need, and more.


We are here to help each other THROUGH life, so that we ALL become better than we were, moulded into the people we are MEANT to be, an ultimate version of ourselves.


When you speak or act, don’t do it to see what you can get out of a situation, but to see what you can GIVE to a situation. You may never know the full truth of anything, or how your interaction with those involved will change the course of events - if it does. Every word, every action, conscious and unconscious, has an impact, whether we know it or not. We may never see the results of that impact - it could be small or it could be great, but it is MADE; and once we have done something it cannot be UNdone.


Once you realize that life is not for living only for you, your whole perspective can CHANGE. Especially as you realize that living with a purpose makes a difference not only in others’ lives, but in YOURS as well.


To quote Rick Warren, “Living on purpose is the only way to really live. Everything else is just existing.”

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

YOUR JOURNEY


Your life is YOUR life. Your Journey is YOUR journey. You are YOUR competition. You are the ONLY one who knows exactly what is going on with YOU.


Never mind what anyone else’s life is like - concentrate on your OWN. Everyone has their issues - trials and triumphs - but you need only concern yourself with your OWN. You may feel tempted to interject your opinion in another’s life - look instead to your OWN and see what you can scrutinize. There is no one else making the decisions in YOUR life - only YOU, so do not look to anyone else, because it is not their role to play.


Only YOU can walk your journey in life. You are not given what you are so that you can COMPARE it to another, but so that you can GROW and BECOME what you are MEANT to be. The challenges you face along the way, every experience you go through, are all intended so that you LEARN and ultimately to CREATE A BETTER YOU.


When you focus on making YOURSELF better, then you help OTHERS become better. The sum of your life experiences makes you UNIQUE, gives you something no one else has, so that you can USE those experiences to hold OUT a helping hand to others who may have or be experiencing a similar situation. You are meant to SHARE NOT COMPARE. Life is meant to be walked through WITH others, not AGAINST them.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

TRUST HIS PLAN

He knows what He’s doing. He knows why He has you where you are right now. He knows why you are going through what you are. There is a purpose. There is a reason beyond the seen. He has a plan.

Are you willing to trust Him? Are you willing to let Him lead you? Are you willing to open your heart to the possibilities He has waiting for you? There is nothing greater than faith. There is peace in your soul when you know that you are where you are meant to be. There is delight in living when you can embrace every opportunity as a new adventure.

Every moment passed has led to now. Every experience has been a piece of the puzzle of your story. Everything has been to build and mould a soul who is relevant and vibrant in the present. There is far more to everything that has been that has been seen. There is a story that only you can tell because only you have lived it. There is a choice and ultimately it is up to you to decide what it will be.

Where is your courage? Do you dare? Are you ready?

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

UNREPEATABLE

YOU ARE UNREPEATABLE. Not just for the fact that no one else can ever be you, but because, whether you know it or not, acknowledge it or not, there is something about you that has its own ”magic”. There is a magic about you that cannot be emulated or replicated by any soul other than your own, for it belongs only to you and you alone can “wield” it.

YOU ARE UNREPEATABLE. You have a light within you that no one else can hold or shine. Your light springs forth from the dreams in your soul and the hope in your heart, cast just the way it is because of everything that you have experienced and the darkness that it has had to manoeuvre around. Your light can never be lit in another soul, even though it has the power to spark alight the light of another soul.

YOU ARE UNREPEATABLE. Your life, although like any other life does, holds value, even though not everyone, sometimes even yourself, will see and appreciate that value, nor get a chance to know it. Your value is priceless to those who love you and you can never be replaced, and for some, you will be one of the rare treasures cherished forever in their heart and soul.

YOU ARE UNREPEATABLE. The words you speak, the way you say them, the sound of them on your lips, the song from your heart, no one else can say the way you do, utter such a melody as you. There is a magic about the way they fall from your lips and some will never forget what they hear as long as they live, and you may never know how much you can affect them.

YOU ARE UNREPEATABLE. Your life is an example, you an inspiration that others look up to, look to for guidance, for “light”. You are a motivation, even if you do not know it, and your life through your actions speaks volumes to other souls who might be needing the very thing that you are not saying. You touch more lives than you know, so never ever stop being you and doing what you do!

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

AMAZING THINGS

Sometimes we move through life so fast we do not give ourselves room to think, let alone breathe and “smell the roses”. Sometimes all the hustle is to cover up the fact that we are aching, the bustle to keep ourselves occupied from thinking. Sometimes we simply do not realize what we are doing until we suddenly stop for a moment and realize.

When we move so fast we can miss the things that are there for us, sometimes waiting, sometimes knocking on the glass, sometimes chasing after us, sometimes simply looking for the right moment. We might miss an opportunity we passed by so quickly we never even knew it was there. We might miss the stranger who could have become someone important given half a chance. We might miss what deep down we are truly seeking in keeping busy.

When we stop and allow our mind a moment of stillness we can hear that knocking, the pursuit, that little whisper inside telling us truths we might have been “running from”. We allow not just our mind rest, but our body too, allowing it opportunity to refresh as our soul renews. We can see what we’re doing to it and determine the steps to “right the wrong”.

Pausing, if only for what seems like a moment can be enough. It gives life a chance to “catch up” with the amazing things that it has been desirous of for you, the blessings He wants you to have, the opportunities that call for you alone. When you stop and rest you allow all the amazing things meant for you to finally reach you and when that happens, you can see your life start to change in new and different ways. Perhaps some you might not have thought to want or have again.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

PRETTY AMAZING

OPEN your eyes to the world you live in. Open your HEART to the blessings you have been given. Allow the WONDER of everything to seep through your soul.

Think of the MIRACLE of life. Think of all the POSSIBILITIES that exist. Know that you are BEAUTIFUL in this world filled with ugly.

Believe that everything happens for a REASON. Believe that you CAN make a difference. Embrace the experiences that life has given you and the love you are surrounded by.

He knows your heart. He knows your mind. He knows infinitely more about you than you could possibly fathom.

When you open yourself to the fullness of everything, open your mind to the potential of anything, and open your soul to believe in the glory of Him and all you have and are, you will see that life truly is pretty AMAZING. REVEL in that knowledge, that feeling, the emotion evoked in the core of your being. Revel in it and LIVE it – an amazing life!

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

WHO YOU WERE MEANT TO BE

“Success” is a word that gets flung around a lot, but do the people that use it always know what they are referring to? “Success” means something different to every individual, and just because one defines it as “x” does not mean that another will share their opinion. Sure, “success” can be what the world sees - accomplishments and awards and trophies. But that is barely a single aspect - certainly not the most important one at that - of “success”, and even if you have none of those accolades does not mean that you have not obtained “success”.

“Success” is far more than what the world SEES. It is a process - very much like the ongoing journey of life - that occurs INSIDE of a person. It is the personal battles and struggles that they fight and overcome. It is the fierceness of their desire in following their dreams, the adamant courage and determination that consumes their hearts, the unrelenting force of willpower that enables them to stand apart from the rest of the world as they strive to become the person they were meant to be. It is learning from the past and using every experience to move forwards, even if they’re not entirely sure where it is that they are heading, as long as they know that the direction is only taking them further and higher than they gave ever gone before, the journey moulding them into something better by the day.

It takes courage to walk alone - if that’s what one must do. It takes strength to face the unknown - any place you have never gone before can cause trepidation. It takes more than simply wanting it - it will take EVERYthing you have to become everything you were meant to be.

Some people will never obtain “success” and become all that they were meant to be, whether by lack of will or strength of character, or allowing others to simply hold them back and keep them stagnating. It is sad, yes, but it is also truth.

Those brave souls who dare to be themselves, do what others think impossible, unwilling to compromise who they are and the desires of their heart, will be the ones who achieve true “success”.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

SOMETHING WONDERFUL

Life is full of miracles and wonders. Life is full of beauty and majesty. There is ALWAYS something that can – and will – amaze and surprise you, especially when you LEAST expect it, often when you have given up on anything of the like [for you].

Live life like it IS a miracle – because it IS. Live life like something WONDERFUL is going to happen to YOU – because it IS waiting to be. Live life APPRECIATING the beauty of the souls and hearts and of those who surround [and love] you. Live life knowing what majesty created this world and give THANKS for it.

Life loves to SURPRISE you, to create DELIGHT in your soul, by AMAZING you with WONDER. It loves to bring JOY to your soul in the most UNexpected of ways, through the most UNlikely of people. It loves to RENEW the HOPE in the hearts of the broken and weary, giving them something to look FORWARD to after the cold and dark night of tragedy. It loves to RESTORE the FAITH of those who have all but lost it, giving them glimpse of the future and what could be.

Life is full of everything you could ever imagine and MORE. It might try to beat you down and bring you to your knees, but it can also be truly wonderful, and sometimes you have to look past the pain and ugliness to see the beauty and wonder of it. You have to accept that there is a BALANCE and you cannot have one withOUT the other - they will always COexist, just as there exists light and dark within the human soul. The soul holds more power and strength than you might ever know, so always believe and never forget, that something wonderful is about to happen [just when you need it the most].

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.

© Rosie Chee

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

LIFE'S FLAMES

Life loves to test us. Sometimes it waits a lifetime to see what we are made of, desiring to surprise us suddenly to observe how we handle its disruption. Other times it seems intent on seeing how well we fare with what seems like setback after setback, to see if we’re truly what we say we are and to see what we can grow INTO.

Life can simmer or it can boil. It can allow your life to rest upon a single ember or it can immerse you in flames so hot you feel like you might burn up from the inside out. Either way, whether we survive the fire and how we come out reveals us to the world and sometimes to OURSELVES.

Life can create a monster or it can create a beast. The difference is that a monster knows no bounds to its fury and the havoc it wreaks based on the “injustice” it feels has been done to it, whereas a beast is a monster who realizes that every trial is a “lesson” and an experience with opportunity for great GROWTH.

Life can transform a monster into a beast. Once it quiets enough to understand and accept the challenges and struggles that face it. A monster of destruction can become a beast of growth, a far more powerful weapon because the difference it makes in the world creates an impact for the BETTER.

Life loves to bring chaos into being. Sometimes simply because it can, sitting back to watch what unfolds. Other times because there is a purpose, change to elicit the activation of the potential lying inside or the resurrection of the passion that might have almost died, so that we might become our BEST.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

NEVER TOO LATE

Dawn. Night fade away. Snow melting on the grass. Sunshine spreading rays of light over earth.

As the darkness recedes, let it take with it your fears. As the snow melts, let it dissipate the burdens that [might] rest upon your soul. As the sunshine illuminates, let it touch your heart and find the smile hidden inside.

There is so much history, but there is also a future. The past gave much love and happiness, but also great pain and sorrow. The future has not yet been written, but what we let walk with us into it will assist in determining how it plays out. Joy is found within and happiness is created from that joy, understanding that the choice is always yours and freeing your soul.

It’s never too late to be happy. All the time, no matter what hurdles life throws for us to leap over. It’s never too late to let that real smile out. Open and genuine, a lifetime of experience reflected in the eyes glowing above. It’s never too late to let yourself be the “child” of your soul. To let it dance and shine in the world, playfulness and wonder abound in every action.

You know what happiness feels like. You know what it looks like. You know what it can do.

It’s never too late to have and be and keep “happy”. Make the choice today and feel the change in your soul, the sudden lightness in your heart, the gentle calming of your mind. Let your smile face the world as you prepare to embrace the day and watch how your life changes.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

DEAR GOD, THANK YOU

For what has BEEN – I might not have completely understood it at the time, but I do now, knowing it was NECESSARY to bring me to this point. For the experiences given – without which my soul would not have been changed that my heart would be able to be open enough to share, and in the sharing be able to touch lives in ways I might not have been able to before, making room for more difference to be made and a hand that would never before have been offered to be given. For the intertwining threads – the souls allowed to touch mine have marked me far more than they will ever know, impacted me more than anyone might ever see, created strength that can be sensed by those who have known me, changed me in both beauty and pain but ultimately for the BETTER.

For transforming my SOUL – I will always be what I was, but not what I was as I move FORWARD through life, living and learning, the old ways of survival still would work but now not what I want to use, knowing their weaknesses and taking only their strengths with me into the future I am walking into; having fallen and risen, broken and rebuilding, lived and died and been reborn for the second time, an even newer and wiser creature emerging from the flames, not the Terminator I started out as or the Warrior I became, but an Angel of neither white or black; standing alone but not alone, the integral fundamentals unchanged even as everything is changed.

For EVERYTHING that is – TRANSFORMING my soul as it needed and needs to be, so that I can be everything that I need and should be, so that I can do and be everything I am meant to; all of it for Your glory, proof that prayers do get answered and miracles do exist, the lost can be found and the hardest of hearts made soft, walls can be broken down and ice can be melted, blank masks can become genuine smiles as life continues and opens up before me; stepping forward in faith across the invisible bridge over the chasm below.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

NEW LEASE ON LIFE

When you’ve been through hell and back, not once, but MULTIPLE times, you learn to APPRECIATE life, learn from your experiences and the chance to grow stronger, thank God for the blessings He has bestowed upon you, and approach life with a “never say never” “risk everything” attitude. After all, you have only ONE life and only ONE chance to live it, so why not make it the BEST life you could possibly have?!

When a single experience changes you in ways you could never possibly imagine, you realize that life has so much MORE out there just waiting for you to discover it, breathe it, see it, LIVE it. It WANTS you to grasp every opportunity as a chance to do something GREAT with your life, an open door to leave as big an impression on as you can in passing through.

Every second, every minute, every hour of every day, is a chance. A chance to RISK, to put yourself out there and say “Bring it on!”, “Give me all you’ve got!”, to LIVE completely and without regret, knowing that you gave it EVERYthing you had and did the BEST you could with what you had and were given.

DON’T wait for “tomorrow” to come to start risking. DARE! Be Dangerous! Take the Plunge! LIVE LIFE AND LIVE IT NOW!

2013 | Day 83: PAST PRESENT FUTURE

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

PAST PRESENT FUTURE

The past has GONE. LEARN from it. Do NOT dwell on it. Look back on it only to TAKE from it lessons that have moulded you into who you are TODAY.

The present is HERE. It is a GIFT. It is a chance to live IN the moment. It is your “second chance”, a time to get it RIGHT. It is your opportunity to create the life you WANT to live.

The future is COMING. It has YET to be determined. It will become what you start NOW. It is your MOTIVATION to “becoming”. It is your VISION of reality, the one you see in your soul.

You canNOT go back and CHANGE the past. You cannot change the moments ALREADY gone in the present. But…you CAN change what will BE. You can turn your heart to those dreams and desires and set your mind and actions on the path that will LEAD you to their manifestation.

You CAN change the way your life is going. You CAN change the future you are determining NOW. You CAN become and be all that you want, all that you have the gift and potential for. You CAN.

It’s YOUR choice WHAT lessons you keep in your soul. It is YOUR choice what blessings you SEIZE and hold onto and never want to let go of. It is YOUR choice what DIRECTION you walk in.

Know that in the end everything comes TOGETHJER to create what you have been BUILDING. Your past taught what you do and do NOT want, gave you the tools you need to get through whatever life throws in your path on your way to reach the stars. Your present is STILL giving you gifts, the people to walk beside you, the love that burns brighter with you, the drive to continue on, even as your past falls away. The future you are reaching out FOR, reminding yourself why you do what you’re doing, justifying the actions that lift you towards the stars you seek.

Know your SOUL. Know your DREAMS. Now CREATE them!

2013 | Day 44: LIVE TO LOVE

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

LIVE TO LOVE

Life is MORE than the mere passing of days, of time floating from one oblivion into the next, waiting until the final breath when we might pass from this world. It is MOMENTS that can make or break a soul, significant events that determine the course one will ultimately take, experiences that shape the heart into warmth or ice. Life for each one of us is very DIFFERENT, but for all of us it should have a PURPOSE – to MAKE a difference.

To make a difference you have to CARE; you have to LOVE. You have to love what you are doing with a passion greater than the voices of the naysayers and negative influences. You have to love the people you are trying to reach and share your life with, accepting them unconditionally for no one is perfect and everyone is going to disappoint you at some time or another. You have to be OPEN to others and reciprocal of ideas and needs, understanding that while a single soul CAN make a difference, MANY souls in accord with a single purpose and mission can achieve far greater impact.

Live your life as one of love and SERVICE to others. Not as a slave, but as a willing servant who realizes that value is not placed on what can be accumulated in worldly wealth, but in the part of you that you leave behind in the hearts and souls of those who your life crosses paths with.

2012 | Day 343: SECOND CHANCE

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

SECOND CHANCE

Your life is changing in ways you never thought it would. You are in a place you never thought you would ever be. You have found a faith that you never thought you would need or care for. YOU are changing more than you ever thought possible.

Do NOT be afraid of the change. Everything you have been through was for a REASON. Every heartache and tear wrenched from your soul, every moment of pain and frustration and confusion, every feeling of hopelessness and despair, was all for a reason. Out of the greatest pain [often] comes the greatest GROWTH. Out of the greatest pain [often] rises the GREATEST and most BEAUTIFUL of souls.

You have been through that pain. You know what went wrong, what lessons you had to learn, even if the way you had to learn them was so drastic that you felt like your soul would be torn asunder for all time. Know that from the pain will come STRENGTH greater than you ever thought you could have, regardless of you knowing that your soul already has strength of its own.

Hold ONTO the faith that you have found. It will pull you through even the darkest of times. Never be ashamed to cry out to Him, to plea from the depths of your soul for help, on your knees in the most desperate of times, for He ALWAYS listens and He always ANSWERS, even if the answer is not the one that you seek. Know that the answer He gives is what you NEED, because He knows even before you do what your SOUL needs to survive, what your heart needs to be ALIVE, what your mind needs to be ENCOURAGED.

A door in your life may have closed, but there HAS been opened a window. It might be small, seem impossible for you to see yourself fitting through it at the moment, but know and accept that NOTHING is IMpossible with God on your side. NOTHING your heart dreams or aspires is out of your reach if you desire it with EVERYthing that you are, and with such consuming passion and commitment to making it happen, you CAN.

Have FAITH and BELIEF in YOURSELF, that you are stronger than you think and have far MORE within you than you might ever have known! YOU have the POWER to CHANGE your life! You have been given a SECOND chance! Make the MOST of it and become EVERYTHING He always intended you to be!

2012 | Day 291: "TOO FAR"

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

"TOO FAR"

Life is not about playing it safe, living in a comfort zone. It is about taking risks, pushing the limits as much and as far as you can. For how can you ever know what it TRULY means to live if you limit yourself to living in a small square box, inside the lines that everyone else says you should stay within? You canNOT.

Those who dare greatly achieve greatly. They learn much about themselves and their strengths. They know what they are capable of and they are not afraid to push themselves further than before. They understand the risks but take them regardless. They realize that life is meant to be LIVED and experienced in its complete fullness, that there is far more out there than they could ever imagine, and that THEY are capable of far more than they might think or know in this moment.

Living life pushed to the limits, going “too far”, does not mean being foolish in it, but simply accepts that you do NOT accept limits on yourself, desiring only to strive further, reach higher, achieve greatly, being a “miracle”.

I live life on the edge, my body a living battleground. I’ve had a heart attack and yet refuse NOT to continue to push my body to exhaustion, training in all weather, on no sleep, when sick and knowing, looking at me, in no physical condition to be doing anything. I’ve collapsed multiples times during training, soldiered through the roughest times, determined not to let my physiological condition dictate what I can and cannot do, doing things others have told me I would never be able to do. I’ve suffered injuries and yet have come back from them stronger than ever and in less time than I was told it would take, taking a step further than the pain of returning to training, knowing that if I do NOT ask it of my body, I will never have it. I ALWAYS push the limits because I would rather take the risk than NEVER know.

What about YOU? How do YOU live your life?
