MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

ALL YOU CAN

Whether you think it, believe it, or know it, or not, YOU have the POWER to make a DIFFERENCE in this world! Yes, YOU! Every person you meet, every situation you find yourself in, every experience you go through, is all an OPPORTUNITY to make that difference. It might not be a big difference, but even a small difference IS a difference.

Look at everything with the eyes of your heart. Whether it is asked for or not, offer assistance when you see another struggling, allow yourself to be the shoulder that a bleeding heart weeps on, be honest when the truth can be blurry. EVERYTHING you say or do makes a difference to someone somewhere, even if you never know.

We are alive for a PURPOSE, and that purpose is to do EVERYthing possible in your lifetime to make as MUCH difference as you can to as MANY people as possible! When you embrace that calling, then you become more conscious of yourself, others, and your surroundings. You become aware of your IMPORTANCE in the world, knowing that no one else can ever replace the gift that you give to it.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

YOUR HEART

“Sometimes God doesn’t change the situation because He’s trying to change your heart.” This really hits home, especially with everything that’s happened in the last quarter. I have to remind myself that “everything for a reason”, even when I am on my knees crying “WHY?! Why could You possibly want me HERE? For what purpose?” I don’t pretend to understand everything God does and why. Sometimes what He asks or wants us to do begs the question “WHY?!” but living on faith means we do trusting that HE knows what He’s doing.

The heart is a strange creature. Mine has almost always been hidden. It’s been locked up tight and guarded, like Sleeping Beauty’s castle surrounded by thorns, so no one gets in [and nothing gets out]. But He slowly started changing me in recent years and I let the determined “creep” their way inside. I let the “spell be broken” and the walls start crumbling down, the thorns gradually disappearing. Even as I kept a guard on watch, for still entry was to be granted only a rare few, albeit the world being able to “see” the tower and that there was a glimmer of light [not always cold] radiating from it.

But the day came when there was great destruction in the tower and the light did not glow as bright. There came a dawn of frost and a sheen of ice layered over the black. The storm passed, but not completely, and the harsh winds and vicious frost cause the ice to linger, even as the tiny flicker of fire inside the tower kept a small portion of it melted. The tower withstood the weather, retreating back away from the world despite remaining in the open, no longer as solitary as it had once been, seeing other towers in the distance, but realizing how isolated it had made itself and that only the truly determined would fight the elements and try to understand the terrain to make their way even to the base of the cliff that it rested upon.

It’s the little things that start adding up. It’s the glimmers of understanding that flicker in and out of view. It’s the moments of clarity amidst the fog that keeps one’s heart going, determined to make it through the storm, even if it doesn’t truly understand WHY. It’s finally realizing that sometimes God ALLOWS the storm and He KEEPS it in place until something INSIDE us changes, until WE start to change, until our HEART begins the transformation. It might take a day, a week, a month, a year, or longer, but He WILL take the time it needs to make the change. He WILL keep the winds blowing, the frost shivering, until that tiny flicker of fire is “fed” and allowed to light and heat more than a single room, shining light from the tower out into the world despite all that is going on around it.

2013 | Day 41: EYES OPEN, MOVING FORWARD

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

EYES OPEN, MOVING FORWARD

Even if you have NO idea what the NEXT step in your life is, CONTINUE on your journey, one foot in front of the other, the only way OPEN to you – FORWARD. Keep your forward MOMENTUM, your eyes CONSTANTLY open, observing life around you as you pass it by or entangle in it, for while YOU may not know what you are supposed to be doing next, SOMEONE does.

Someone is watching OVER you, observing YOU, the way you walk, how you interact with the life around you, the people, the ripples you make, difference you create, and they are planning the next step of your journey, even if you might already be starting to do that yourself. You might not know what you’re supposed to be doing, but you are forming an idea, a notion, a PLAN, because everything that happens to you MEANS something, a piece of the puzzle in the fabric of the masterpiece that makes up your life’s tapestry.

You begin to see that what you NEED is right there in front of you if you allow yourself to think OUTSIDE the normal scope of vision used by man. The tools you need to accomplish your tasks are hidden, but where your INSTINCT knows how to FIND them, when you truly need them and are prepared to give in to your intuition and that something else greater inside you. The words you LEARN to form and express your need with, grasping from the life surrounding you, RESPONDING to it as you ACT with and in it. Your eyes are OPEN, physically, psychologically, and spiritually, all aspects of your psyche and self in TUNE with one another.

No matter WHAT happens, create that HARMONY withIN yourself and see life OPEN up in more ways than you could ever have imagined, paths spread before you in a choice of myriad journeys, opportunities given that might never before have been possible, and all of it READY for you to just step INTO, taking the chance, RISKING all you are and have now for something far GREATER, a PROMISE of the FUTURE and the person you are MEANT to BE.

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!
