EVOLUTION OF A PURPOSE DRIVEN WARRIOR: free yourself

April 15, 2014

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

BE A STAR

Have NO fear in being DIFFERENT. Have NO apologies for wanting what YOU want. Have NO qualms about walking ALONE from the rest of the world determined to be the same. Have NO hesitation in standing OUT.

To accomplish YOUR dreams, sometimes you HAVE to walk APART. Sometimes you have to go where no one else is WILLING to go. Sometimes you have to bear the criticism and condemnation from lack of understanding and judgement of those who are too scared to venture outside the bounds of comfort and possibility in their OWN lives. Sometimes you have to be the one who makes others BELIEVE.

To be a STAR, you have to do your OWN thing. You have to do what it TAKES when you are the only one who is willing. You have to hold onto your faith in your determination to see it through to the END. You have to be the LIGHT in the darkness of the world and let others see you for the miracle that you are.

A star is a MIRACLE. YOU are a miracle. Not everyone believes in miracles and YOU are the one who might CHANGE that perception. Be who you ARE and DO what you do and walk your OWN path.

Shine a light for OTHERS in the darkness and let them know that fear is NOTHING. Let them know what is POSSIBLE. Let them know that dreams are not JUST dreams and can become REALITY if they truly desire it. Be the one who makes that DIFFERENCE.

2012 | Day 265: FREEDOM TO BE FREE

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

FREEDOM TO BE FREE

Freedom – what does it mean? What does it allow? Is it something the world gives us that we give ourselves? To be free - is that the same as freedom or something else altogether? Can you have freedom but NOT be free? That is the question.

I believe you CAN. “Freedom” is something that you can be granted by others, but to be “free” is something we must do for our own soul. For what value has freedom if our soul is not free, a prisoner of our emotion, hiding away, twisted out of sight, when we feel like we cannot be ourselves truly as we are? What use is freedom when we are trapped inside our own mind, captured by fear of what might be if we give ourselves permission to be and open up to the world? What point is there in freedom if we are not FREE?

Only WE can free ourselves, our soul and heart and mind, casting aside crippling emotion and irrational fear. Only WE can give ourselves that peace and calm, the ability to face life with an indomitable spirit, ready to face anything, embrace any challenge, and not give in or run and hide. Only WE have the power to give ourselves the courage to be free and live a life in complete freedom.

What will it be? Will you unshackle yourself from the chains holding you back from living life as fully as you were intended to? Will you allow yourself hope and faith that in taking the first step you are putting yourself in the hands of one who only has your BEST interests at heart? Will you believe in YOURSELF and all that you are capable of, knowing that you are powerful and significant, realizing that only YOU can release that into the world?

WILL you? Will you allow yourself to be FREE to ENJOY the FREEDOM of YOUR LIFE?

"'For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.'" - Jeremiah 29:11-13

"Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. IMPOSSIBLE is nothing. How are you going to live your life?" - U.S. Army

"I succeed because I am willing to do the things you are not. I will fight against the odds. I will sacrifice. I am not shacked by fear, insecurity or doubt. I feel those emotions but I drink them in and swallow them away to the blackness of hell. I am motivated by accomplishment, not pride. Pride consumes the weak and kills their heart from inside. If I fall... I will get up. If I am beaten... I will return. I will never give up... EVER." - Nike

"The biggest risk in life is to risk nothing at all." - Anonymous

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light not our darkness that frightens us. Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn’t serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. As we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give others permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence actually liberates others." - Marianne Williamson

"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat." - Theodore Roosevelt

"It’s not about what you’ve got; it’s about what you DO with what you’ve got.” – Andie West, Step Up 2: The Streets

"To give anything less than your best is to sacrifice the gift." – Steve Prefontaine

"Never, never, never, never give up." - Winston Churchill

"Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It's a very mean and nasty place, and I don't care how tough you are, it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't about how hard you hit. It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward; how much you can take and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done! Now, if you know what you're worth, then go out and get what you're worth. But you gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers saying you ain't where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody. Cowards do that and that ain't you. You're better than that!...until you start believing in yourself, you ain't gonna have a life...Cause if you're willing to go through all the battling you got to go through to get where you want to get, who's got the right to stop you? I mean maybe some of you guys got something you never finished, something you really want to do, something you never said to someone, something...and you're told no, even after you paid your dues? Who's got the right to tell you that, who? Nobody! It's your right to listen to your gut, it ain't nobody's right to say no after you earned the right to be where you want to be and do what you want to do!...You know, the older I get the more things I gotta leave behind, that's life. The only thing I'm asking you guys to leave on the table...is what's right." - Rocky Balboa

"Strength does not come from winning. Your struggles develop your strengths. When you go through hardships and decide not to surrender, that is strength." - Arnold Schwarzenegger

"Nothing in the world is permanent and we are foolish when we ask anything to last, but surely we are still more foolish not to take delight in it while we have it." – William Somerset Maughan

"There comes a time when you have to stand up and shout: This is me damn it! I look the way I look, think the way I think, feel the way I feel, love the way I love! I am a whole complex package. Take me... or leave me. Accept me - or walk away! Do not try to make me feel like less of a person, just because I don't fit your idea of who I should be and don't try to change me to fit your mold. If I need to change, I alone will make that decision. When you are strong enough to love yourself 100%, good and bad - you will be amazed at the opportunities that life presents you." - Stacey Charter
