MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

LIFE

Life is a gift given to all. Not everyone might “deserve” it, but everyone is given the chance to take that blessing and turn it into something great. Life is a miracle and every moment you have breath in your body is a moment to be thankful for.

Gifts are opportunities. They may present as difficulties and obstacles, but the harder the challenge, the greater the opportunity to grow and develop, to “prove” that such a gift was not wasted and the one who received it has a diamond hidden inside the rough.

Life and the gifts it bestows are not always what we want or expect. Not being given what is desired can be the “best” thing one can receive, because what they ARE given can reveal far greater meaning; and sometimes being given the unexpected leads to far more than could ever be imagined and asked for.

Gifts are not given to be set aside. They are intended to be used and He who gives them gives accordingly, knowing what it will take to bring forth the potential hidden inside each one of us. You are unique and your gifts are unique, so treasure them and see the value that He sees.

Life is a miracle. YOU are a miracle. No matter where you have been or what you have been through, it has brought you to the place you now stand. It has given you what you need to become the blessing you are meant to be, so smile as you step into another day and another chance to live “greatness”.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

YOUR ANGELS

Too often we take the people in our lives for granted, failing to see the blessings they are until they are gone from us, until we have “lost” them and realize what a hollow they create with their absence. Everyone is a reason, a season, or a lifetime, and no matter how short or long their stay in our sphere of life, they EVOLVE some aspect of it, of US - whether they make us more aware of who we are and what we are capable of, give us experiences that cause either tremendous pain or joy so that we learn the meaning of what it is to truly grieve or be happy, or simply teach us to appreciate life in ALL its facets of perfections and flaws and ACCEPT ourselves in it.

Sometimes we recognize too late the “angels” we have been given to guide us through or walk beside us in and on our journey through life. The awakening of such awareness as it is HAPPENING is not something everyone gets, but if you are lucky enough to have such a GIFT, especially as your life is intertwined with another, be grateful for it, thankful for what they ADD to your life, taking pleasure in and acknowledging the DIFFERENCE that would not be thus without their presence.

Angels come in many forms and guises, not always as you might expect and almost always impossible to forget. When your soul is OPEN you will know them, seeing with your HEART instead of through physical sight or analysis of logic and reasoning, and when you see you canNOT go back - only FORWARDS.

Learn to be AWARE and realize how good life is, how WONDERFUL a place the world can be, how faith and hope can be RENEWED in a heart almost gone dark, and APPRECIATE the true value of every soul who touches your own.

2013 | Day 10: IN YOU

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

IN YOU

When you’re feeling low or down on yourself, wondering what value your life holds and whether you truly matter to anyone, remember that you are important to GOD and that He has a PLAN for your life, a PURPOSE for your FUTURE. In you lies a destiny no one else can fulfill. In you is something that He needs that no one else can provide. You might not yet know yourself what you are capable of and what strengths you hold in your heart, but they are there, and they are there for a PURPOSE, for you were designed with a purpose when you were created.

So on the days when you feel like you could disappear off the face of the planet and it wouldn’t make a difference, know that it WOULD to SOMEone, whether you know it or not. When you wonder if your absence would leave a hollow in anyone’s life, if they would even NOTICE you were gone, think of all the people in YOUR life and imagine what it would be like without the key players, then see YOURSELF in such a role in THEIR lives and understand the TRUTH that you DO matter.

There are things inside your soul far GREATER than you know of. There are gifts and abilities in your being you are not even AWARE of. YOU MATTER. YOU ARE IMPORTANT. YOU HAVE A PURPOSE. When you want to shut your eyes and see nothing but black, remember that NO ONE ELSE CAN BE YOU. Only YOU can be you and do what you do and be who you will be. ONLY YOU.

2012 | Day 176: Cry No More

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

You are UNIQUE

We are all DIFFERENT. There is NO one person in the world exactly like another - past, present, or future. You are the ONLY you there will EVER be.

No one can do what YOU do. No one can love like you love. No one can give like you give. No one can spread joy like you spread joy. No one has the same talent and gifts as you do in the specific degree that you do. No one can REPLACE you and some things only YOU can do.

You are UNIQUE. EMBRACE your uniqueness. Do what you were CREATED to do.
