MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

WHAT YOU REALLY LOVE

Your HEART can be deceived. Your SOUL canNOT, for it is your TRUE core and the essence that senses the heart of a matter. If there is a “passion” in your heart that does NOT stem from your soul, then there is a likelihood of that passion being false. When you seek within yourself, work back to the “root” of a passion and find it lodged deep in the crevices of your SOUL THEN you can know that it is “true” for you.

When your passion is TRUE and you follow it with all that you are and have, you canNOT go “wrong”. Your INTUITION was designed like a “compass” to guide you in the “right” direction for your life, and that direction should be determined by your SOUL.

When the love you have for something is lodged so deep that to remove it would be to remove a part of yourself, do NOT hesitate in FOLLOWING it, chasing after it to see where it “leads”, traversing whatever journey your life sets out upon in its pursuit. When you follow your TRUE heart, the passion in your soul, that which you love without compare, you will not go astray, because that passion would NOT be if it was not MEANT to be.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

BETTER THAN YOU THINK

You might feel like you are not doing much; that you are floundering when you should be swimming; as if you are falling short of all expectation. Such feelings create disappointment in yourself, that you are not living up to your standard, like you are not trying hard enough, as if what you are doing is little compared to what you should be doing. All that is a FEELING and feelings are not always reality; they are our perception of a situation and not always THE “truth” of it.

If you ARE giving it your all, doing what you can when you can, no matter how you feel, whatever is thrown at you, even if you stumble or fall sometimes, then you are doing BETTER than you think. Others may comment on your progress and you do not “hear” them because you do not see the way they do, but take the time to LISTEN, because sometimes we all need to know that we’re doing all right.

No matter how hard we try we can sometimes feel like we’re not doing ENOUGH, and being told does not change that feeling, and we have to understand that our best is our BEST and we cannot do MORE than that. If you’re giving it your “all”, then you ARE doing better than you THINK, so give yourself a little room to breathe and ease back on the pressure you’re applying to your heart.

Take some space to step BACK and “see” the bigger picture; to understand what you HAVE done, even if you know you have a ways to go. NOTHING great is achieved overnight and sometimes it takes time to see the REAL fruits of your labour; know in your soul, that in the end, what you have been working towards WILL manifest. Until then, realize that you are doing better than you THINK and KEEP doing what you’re doing.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

Every time you “fail” is NOT a failure. It is an OPPORTUNITY for something “better”. It is a “chance” for you to CHANGE yourself and the world around you. It is a time to “look” deeper WITHIN you. It is moment for REFLECTION.

You might cry. You might scream. You might get hurt. You might be destroyed. But you also might LEARN. You also might begin to truly SEE. You might start to UNDERSTAND your soul. You might REALIZE your “true” dreams and heart.

Every time you fall down, no matter how far or how deep you fall, there is ALWAYS a way back up. It might take days, weeks, years, and be the hardest thing you ever do, but it CAN be done. EVERY setback, no matter how large or small, is God’s way of giving you a SECOND chance. It is your time to “begin” AGAIN...the dawn of a NEW “spring”... YOU are in control. YOU hold the pen that covers the pencil engraved already on the pages of your life. YOU create your fate with the decisions you make. YOU determine your path with the consequences of your actions and your response to them.

STOP looking at being “knocked down” as the end. See it instead as the chance to rise. See yourself as the phoenix rising from the ashes of your past life and stepping into the NEW. You are a “new” creature, the same as before, but NOT the same, wise with your past experience, beautiful with your past pain, and open to the future from everything that has transpired to this point, knowing that you have not gone through everything you have for NOTHING.

Every setback is preparing you for a COMEBACK, allowing the world to see and know a BETTER you, someone who is “of” the past, but not of the past. Transforming with deliberation, you a creature that has been tempered in the fires of hell, then moulded with the hands of God. A beautiful “creation” that brings Him glory.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

NEVER let ANYONE hold you back from your dreams and ignore those who say your aspirations are too great. LISTEN to your SOUL because instinct knows and will never ever let go of anything you are destined to do or meant for in this life. CONNECT with LIKE-MINDED individuals who strive only to bring out and make the lights of others shine as brilliantly as their own on the path to the manifestation of their dreams. ENCOURAGE and SUPPORT the flames of change that flicker through your life and seek to be a blessing in every experience that opportunity grants. LIVE your TRUTH! FULFILL your POTENTIAL! BECOME your ULTIMATE!

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

UNAPOLOGETICALLY YOU

I have learnt that when you do what you love is when you make the most difference. Because that's when you're the happiest, and when you're happy you sparkle. Even after and during and despite the darkness. When you simply follow your heart and listen to your soul, your life takes on the most meaning, has the most significance. When you follow your true calling and path, what you have innate passion and gift for, that's when you are being your most authentic self. And there is nothing better or more magical than that. Being unapologetically you: It is the beginning of all things magical.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY


INVEST IN YOU


THINK about your future - where do you want to be? Think about the cost - what do you need to sacrifice to get there? Don't think about the opinions of others on your decision - you have got to do what will be best for you!


Think about your future - your life is yours to live. Think about the cost - realize the expense of NOT daring greatly in pursuing your true heart's dream. Don't think about trying to figure everything out from the beginning - sometimes the simple decision to just start is the catalyst for everything else.


Think and Do. Invest in YOU.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY


NO REGRETS


Go after what you want. Even if it "scares" you. ESPECIALLY if it scares you. Because that means it's something WORTH fighting for. It's something worth the risk. And I would rather know that forever wonder "what if?" for there is no greater regret than that.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY


HUSTLE


Some might say, "good things come to those who wait" or "if it's meant to be, it will be". That's all very well and good, but I believe that if you want something, TRULY want it, you'll go AFTER it and work for it, doing whatever it takes to make it your reality. Waiting on "fate" is inaction and yes, while there are times for patience and "seeing", life does NOT wait, and often YOU have to go out and MAKE it happen. YOU. YOU have to decide whether the decision of your action or lack thereof will be worth the risk, if you can live with "what if?" or you truly want NO regrets in life, because you DID your part to work to make it happen, no matter how hard it was or despite any doubt or fear you may have had.

NO REGRETS


I've been dying since I was 12. I may as well live a life worth remembering. Go out with a bang. Be a loud crash in the symphony of life.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY


GYPSY


It's the gypsy soul in me, that sense of always needing to wander, to keep moving, exploring, never staying still for too long. Some of us are just born like that, those that never get too attached to places or things, who can without hesitation just get up and leave, like a whisper on the wind you're not even sure was really ever there at all. Adventure calls to us, the perpetual child in our free spirited soul, wanting to experience as much of life as possible.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY


THE SCARY CHOICES


Sometimes we find a dream in our heart that we didn’t realize was there, discovered during a period of darkness, or when someone or something completely UNexpected comes into our life and we are knocked out for the count. Sometimes those dreams can SCARE us beyond all imagining, something we never wanted or ever thought we could or would want, held in trepidation as we debate the decision whether or not to FOLLOW our heart in this matter.


Will we or won’t we? Will we step out and risk everything we know and have ever known for something OUTSIDE the scope of our experience and knowledge, so unknown that we feel helpless and lost in navigating our way through it? Will we choose to look BEYOND everything that could possibly go wrong on the journey, seeing instead the wonderful OPPORTUNITY that life is blessing us with, the dream we have denied our heart for so long?


Whether your mind acknowledges it or not, once you are AWARE of this dream, you can NEVER become UNaware, that dream becoming a PART of you, living and breathing with you, held capture in your heart, no matter how far down you may try to push it or try to deny its existence out of fear of what might happen IF you follow it. You’ll never know if you don’t give it a chance, if you don’t take the risk and put yourself out there, if you don’t DO.


But when you’re afraid and you just DO it anyway, that’s when you grow and open yourself up to new POSSIBILITIES, when your heart SINGS in the exhilarating feeling of not knowing but knowing and having FAITH that something WONDERFUL is going to happen. It’s not just persevering and desiring it with a force more powerful than you ever realized, but it’s making the choices that scare us the MOST, stepping into the decisions that you want so desperately but have never allowed yourself to consider a plausible reality, that CHANGE us the most and can be the BEST things we ever do, WORTH everything in the end.


Will YOU hear and HEED the call of you HEART and take the RISK, no matter how fearful you are, no matter how hard the path ahead might seem, to SEE where it takes you, to take the chance that it could be something that ENRICHES your life BEYOND anything else you have ever known? Will you be BRAVE and EMBRACE it, knowing that God would never have offered such an unexpected gift it He did not WANT it for you? WILL YOU?

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY


BRAND NEW END


Everyone starts somewhere. Everyone travels their own journey. Everyone veers off the path at some point and ends up in a completely different place than they intended. That’s ok. It’s human. It’s to be expected. You might not be in the place you desired to be when you started your journey, but just because you are not there yet does NOT mean that you cannot ever be. We all get lost and we all struggle. It’s a part of life and no one is immune to it.


None of us can go back and start over again from the starting point we initially began at. But we can start over from where we are NOW. We can start our journey from here and go forward in a new direction. We can create a different story from this point. We can determine a different end. We can choose the footprints our life makes on the sands of time.


We all have a beginning. And we all have an end. The final end may not be the end we envisioned when we began. Nor might we have been able to foresee the course life might have taken us through to get there. Yet we are where we are now, through chance or fate or deliberate decision, and where we go from here is a CHOICE.


YOU make the choice in the present on where your life will lead. You decide through your thoughts that lead to your actions how you will live. You started somewhere that is true. And where you initially began might now have been something you had control over. But you have control now, and you choose where you will end up. You choose the dream that will become the reality you eventually make.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY


I CAN

It’s all very well and good to have a dream, but a dream is just a dream unless you ACT on it, and a dream will not be acted on unless you believe that you CAN achieve it. Belief in yourself and your ability to achieve your dream is ESSENTIAL. You HAVE to believe that you can AND will accomplish what you want, or you will never really come close. If you believe you take every challenge as it comes, don’t allow difficulties to discourage you, knowing that you are one step closer every day to having what you desire, becoming who you want to be.

Your MIND is your most POWERFUL tool in the pursuit of your dreams. If you have no faith in yourself, no belief that you are capable, thinking that what you want is not possible for you, then you will never have it, because you have already talked yourself OUT of it. But if you have confidence in yourself, believe that you can, and know that NOTHING is impossible for those who truly desire their dreams, then you are more than walking potential, and no matter how long the journey to get to your destination, you WILL arrive.

When you believe, you do everything you can to accomplish your goals, take the risks necessary, seek out the people who can help along the way, and do not allow the negativity of others to dissuade you from your path. When you have a dream and a vision you believe in, knowing that even if you do not have all the answers to everything that might happen along the way right now but just go ahead and start regardless, you will be able to overcome anything, something greater driving you through everything, because you BELIEVE.

It’s not enough to want something. It’s not enough to THINK that you can accomplish your goals. You have to BELIEVE in not just your dream, but in YOURSELF, and know that ANYthing is possible if you believe that “I CAN” do it!

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

LISTEN

Listen to your soul. Feel your heart. Act on your intuition. Believe there's a reason. Where are you led? What or who calls? Why does it persist? There's always a reason.

Sometimes you just have to take the chance. You have to take the risk. You have to take that first step. You have to find out why you are drawn so to wherever or whatever or whomever.

You have to know that your soul does not long for something without purpose. Your heart and mind might be able to lie, but your soul cannot. Your soul always speaks truth. You just have to pay attention and know when to listen.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

TAKE THE RISK

NOT taking the risk is a risk in itself - the one of forever regret and wondering "what if?", the "could have" beens and the possibility of missing out on something amazing beyond your wildest imaginings. TAKING the risk has its own dangers - chance of rejection, disappointment and failure, with the possibility of utter destruction from allowing vulnerability in opening your heart and putting yourself on the line. And while NOT taking the risk might give you a false sense of "safety", the courage from TAKING the risk creates the most growth in a soul, causes evolution and forward momentum regardless of the immediate outcome, for whatever happens can only make one dig deeper and ask more of themselves, so that they become better than they ever were. Taking the risk might seem daunting and risk losing everything for something that might only be a "dream", but truly NOT taking the risk means risking losing everything for nothing, for when you TAKE the risk, the greatest "rewards" are in the JOURNEY, a "transformation" and evolution of soul that is truly priceless.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

THE BEST DREAMS

Dreaming when we are asleep can be wonderful, but the BEST dreams happen when we are AWAKE, for when we are awake we are truly AWARE. We can fully APPRECIATE the magic of the moment and know that it is REAL, not just something in our subconscious we desire.

The best dreams are not the ones we “sleep” but the ones we LIVE. They are in the choices we make each day, the chances we take, the risks we open our souls for because we want to believe in something, faith and hope that there is MORE out there than what we “see”, knowing that BETTER days are coming because our actions today are CREATING them. WE are creating the reality we will live in, the dreams that will become our future, even as they might be real in our NOW.

The best dreams are the ones that we do NOT let slumber, but seek to let see light of the morning sun rising gloriously upon, the ones that we smile in in REAL life. Life itself is a “dream”, a “story”, a “fairy-tale written by God’s hands”, and “happily ever after” DOES exist, but only because we CHOOSE to make them HAPPEN. They say the most “dangerous” people are those who dream when awake, for those are the ones that CREATE their dreams, while the “sleeping dreamers” are satisfied with keeping theirs “fiction”.

Why NOT make your dreams your REALITY? NOTHING is impossible after all; especially when the dreams placed on your heart have rested insistently on your SOUL, consuming you slowly for what seems like a lifetime. Decide TODAY – are you a DOER or just a “wannabe” dreamer? Do you have what it TAKES to RISK it all now for what you want in your FUTURE? Do you DARE stop saying “I wish” and start ACTING?

Remember, the BEST dreams are the ones we choose to LIVE and when we live the life we love, we love the life we live!
