MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

SAY "YES" TO YOU

You have had something on your heart for a long time now. Something that should been done when you FIRST recognized it, but never was because you were too busy taking care of everyone else and their needs, ignoring your own in a misplaced sense of loyalty. But now that something is of PARAMOUNT importance to do, for such a deep-seated desire does not get laid on one’s heart for no reason, and it’s time to start thinking about your OWN health and happiness, to begin doing what will be BEST for you.

First, you must learn to be SELFISH. Hard for those who always put others before themselves, who have taken care of everyone else all their life and neglected themselves until they could no longer ignore the warning signals inside. Being selfish we all need to be sometimes, for if we do not take care of ourselves we are NOT going to be in any position to be of service to others. We also need to realize that when WE are healthy and happy, then we are better equipped to create POSITIVE impact in others’ lives.

You are at the point where you can no longer ignore that desire, when it MUST be taken care of before all else, not just because it should have been done, but because if it is NOT, you will never be able to live your life as completely as you were meant to. You WANT to become ALL you have the potential and power to be, and to do that this must be DONE. You have made the decision and now it is time to ACT on it, creating the reality that you have sought in your heart for a long time.

Realize that saying “no” to everyone else and their needs for a time is NOT bad, for not only must they learn to start taking care of themselves and not rely on draining you of everything you have and are to keep them satisfied, but you need to start thinking of YOU and YOUR best interests. Life changes and we change with it and that change should constantly be making us into something BETTER than we are. To become better, you have to know what you NEED to do to reach that next level and just DO it, no matter the cost.

There is ALWAYS going to be a cost to doing what must be done, but that is nothing compared to what will be if you do NOT move. Your life is your own, so start allowing it to be. Start allowing yourself to LIVE. Start allowing that glimpse of happiness to become a ray of hope that spreads throughout your being, into all corners of your soul and life. Start allowing that inner voice to say “YES” to yourself, accepting that you must in order for your life to truly move FORWARD.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

IMPERFECT AND BEAUTIFUL

You are HUMAN. The “machine” that everyone used to see has “become” HUMAN. Machines are not perfect and humans even less. But that’s ok. Because it is inevitable that to be human is to be imperfect. We have emotions and feelings and thoughts that create a “flawed” stated of being within it. It is permanent.

NO ONE is perfect and to expect it of yourself or anyone else is unreasonable. That does not mean that one cannot set the standard high, but if you set it at “perfect” all will fall short. Yet when you set it thus you also give the opportunity to SHINE, to achieve excellence that might not have been attained before, the true potential of a soul revealed.

Even in IMperfection there IS perfection. Everyone perceives things differently and when others look at you they do not see what you do. They see the soul that has lit up, the sparkle that twinkles in your eyes when you smile in genuine happiness, the helping hand extended to others, the willingness to try despite all obstacles. They see BEAUTY in your imperfection and that to them might be “perfect”.

You are FLAWED. But your flaws make you YOU. They add to your uniqueness. They all come together with everything else that is you, a being created for His glory, to create something that is “flawless” in its imperfection. Flaws give us a chance to improve, to learn and GROW as we strive to become all we are meant to be. They are the “steps” we climb and conquer on our way to “perfection”.

Everything about you is SPECIAL. Imperfect and flawed as you are, you are PRECIOUS. Your soul means so much, even if sometimes you might not think so. You are your own brand of beautiful. You just need to learn to ACCEPT that imperfect does not mean you are not worthy, that flaws do not mean you are not wonderful, and that you are BEAUTIFUL in only the way that you can be. So accept it and just BE.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

JUST BE HAPPY

JUST BE HAPPY. It can be a “hard” thing to ask sometimes. Especially of those who seek it. Yet only when we understand that happiness is something that cannot be sourced OUTside of ourselves and that it can only occur when we allow ourselves to be completely IN the present, can we truly BE happy.

The world can be falling apart. The most terrible and traumatic things can be happening. The circumstances we find ourselves in can seem out of control and beyond our own. The events occurring can be testing and questioning everything we ever believed in and thought we knew. Yet through it all we CAN be happy.

“Happy” is not just for when life is “perfect” and wonderful and full of love and light. It is not just for when things seem to be working in our favour and we are blessed beyond imagining. It is not just for when we find ourselves smiled upon and sought out for recognition of achievement. It is not just for when we think life could not be any better.

Being happy is not reserved for the “good” times only and one CAN find and be happy during the “bad” as well. Being happy is about being fully aware of who YOU are and ACCEPTING that you are at whatever point you are in your life. It is believing whatever is within your control you CAN change and trusting in Him for the rest. It is knowing that you are NEVER alone even if it might seem like it. It is being completely in the PRESENT and giving yourself permission to take joy in the moment of even the simplest things.

Being happy is not conditional. It does not require everything to be “just right”. It does not have to wait for everything to “fall into place”. It can be whenever and wherever. YOU can be happy at ANY moment. It is a choice like any other. A simple shift in mindset.

You “need” nothing to be happy. You just need YOU. HERE. NOW. Do it for YOU. JUST BE HAPPY.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

STARTING OVER

Starting from scratch can seem daunting. Sometimes it feels like the challenges might never end. Every corner you turn is something else. It can be overwhelming and you might need a moment now and then to gather yourself. When you do, remember…

Remember what it was like before and know that no matter how hard or how long it might take to rebuild, your eventual rebuild will far supersede anything you had. Because what you had you did not create. You did not start the building process. You had no input into the design. But now…

Now you hold the master sketchbook. Now you can start over. You can tear down anything that is detrimental to the overall purpose of your work. You can personally choose the components and help mould the moving parts that will be essential in your design. And when you are “done”…

When you are done you are never truly done. You continue building and improving. Continue remoulding, adding pieces and moving others around, constant “work in progress” to always be “creating” something that works seamlessly together in the pursuit of a common purpose.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

PEACE WITH THE PAST

You cannot truly move forward until you have let GO of the past. You cannot truly begin to heal until you have accepted what has happened and given yourself room and time to grieve over any loss. You cannot live fully in the present if you are still dwelling in the shadows of the past.

If you do nothing else, FORGIVE yourself. Give yourself a CHANCE. Open your eyes and clear your foggy mind so that you can break FREE from the bonds you are unconsciously placing on yourself. Give yourself the GIFT of being completely in the present.

Let yourself be here and NOW. Let your soul be CALM in this moment. Let your mind be still and know that only TRUTH now resides there. And that truth is that your spirit is at PEACE with who you are and where you are and the journey that has brought you here.

ALLOW yourself to experience life in all its wonder and glory. Allow yourself to believe that such beauty was intended for YOU. Allow yourself to breathe in the FRESH air and know that with that breath you are giving yourself the gift of starting over afresh and brand new.

Let that be your gift to YOU. A SECOND chance. A time to finally see PAST all the hurt and pain and suffering and tears. A time to let yourself BE who you are and step out into the present with arms wide open and unafraid to let the world see you. What will YOU do with your life? YOU decide.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

FOCUSED DETERMINATION

That way you get in the gym when nothing and no one else exists but you and the weights, feeling the pain and incredible high making it almost pleasurable; being so “in the zone”, your “happy place”, a sanctuary from the rest of the world’s realities – consider living EVERYthing in your life with that same focused determination. If you already have or do, you’ll understand how it can make everything seem to be more meaningful, hold purpose and give you a reason for “continuing”.

Life may not be a “training zone” per se, even as it is, for it as you live you are being “trained” in the ways of life – conditioned, moulded, taught, created and evolving; a living entity constantly changing, affected by the stirrings of its soul and the emotions wrought within it by its experiences of the world and those it touches as it passes by. Imagine seeing every experience and person as a “lesson” or a “reason” to help you learn or understand your “mission” and develop deeper meaning for the purpose you discover your soul living for.

Focus your soul on your purpose. Let it seep into your heart. Allow it to become all that your mind dwells on. Create your lifestyle around it. Act out the directives that will ultimately only bring you one step closer to your “destination”, even as each new destination reached only means that the next location on the journey is revealed, because the journey of life is one that is never ending.

Focus with such determination that you cannot see anything outside of your purpose. Know what you will and will not allow in your life. Become a master at inviting the growth you need and weeding out the inevitable toxicity that will seek to undermine and destroy you on your path to “success”. Listen to your instinct and be not afraid to walk away from anything that does not make your soul sing or that gives you a creepy feeling.

Let yourself “become” your purpose; so much that anyone who looks at you sees the focused determination and inexplicably knows that you are a soul on a mission. Like souls and hearts and minds will be drawn by your determination, the unwavering facing of whatever comes, perhaps seeking to join or walk alongside you as you brave and carve the path you choose to take.

Whether you are aware of it or not, that focused determination will inevitably ultimately inspire others, either to “find” their own purpose or to join you for however long it takes to “become” the conviction and strength that you exude for themselves. Sometimes we are what others “need” to get set on their own path, even as others may have been for us a turning point in “resetting” our lives.

FOCUSED DETERMINATION. It can create so much. It can become so much. It can change so much. Find YOURS. You never know WHAT it could do!

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS

Happiness can be something that eludes us - until we realize that there is NO destination to being happy, that everything we have to “be” happy is WITHIN us, if we but ALLOW it to be. The simple thought of someone special, a memory, a smile, something that makes us laugh - all of those things release the happy inside, allow us to let down the walls that we build around ourselves for the briefest of moments.

Happiness is a CHOICE. Life can be falling apart around you, the worst possible situation you can think of you find yourself in, and you can STILL find the happiness lurking in the shadows - it IS there, even if it IS hiding in the depths of your soul, in a place you would never have imagined it to be.

EVERY day we make the choice - conscious or not - on whether or not we will be happy. Happiness is not just a choice, but a state of MIND, and even if our heart is breaking, our soul is distressed, we can still make the choice to look for the positive in the negative, at what IS going right in our world, and be thankful that we are still alive to appreciate the beauty that we have in our lives.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

NO SHORTCUTS

Life is TOUGH. It HURTS. It lets you achieve the pinnacle of “success” and then it kicks you down a cliffside faster than you can think. That’s life. Get used to it.

Get used to it. But DON’T accept it. DON’T let it beat you so much that you give up trying altogether. Don’t let it take away the ESSENCE of you and the spark that keeps you going and burning bright for others to see.

Life is tough BECAUSE it is PREPARING you. For what is to COME. It has to make sure that the you that eventually reaches the destination intended is a you that can LIVE there. It has to make sure that you have what it TAKES to live the life you want and achieve the dreams in your heart. It has to make sure that you’re STRONG enough to look fear in the face and release courage despite any and all odds.

The journey may be long AND hard. But without the journey the destination would not hold as much MEANING. It would not be APPRECIATED for the sacrifices required and the work that it took to get there. It would not see a soul that had been tested by fire and trialled through destruction come out as a “brand new” being capable of the ultimate AWARENESS of self and its world. It would not see a soul who understands that the true desires and dreams of the heart are worth EVERYTHING endured to get there.

Shortcuts create DEFECTS. Life wants to make sure that there are no defects in the “end creation” that steps into its final place of realized PERFECTION. It wants to make sure that the soul that holds its dreams in the palm of its hand is one who KNOWS the explicit emotion of having experienced the world through more than a looking glass. It wants that soul to see the DUALITY in everything and understand just what it takes to stand on the top of the world and look out over it. It wants a soul who knows its darkness and light and CHOOSES to live its truth in light.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

RISE UP

The night has passed in its darkness and all things hidden suddenly alight within it, words said and emotions wrought as a soul grasps itself together yet one more time. But yes, the night has PASSED and is no more. In that should be the same of what transpired within it: Let gone and let go and given to Him, for some things our soul should not bear if we want to stand unencumbered by chains of any kind, even those we might have once placed upon ourselves.

The day dawns, the fingers of light reaching across the sky reaching for you, to remind you that light pushes AWAY darkness and a NEW day has begun. A new day and a new time, giving you another opportunity to start fresh and claim it as your own, your life to walk forward in His grace and share YOUR light with the world.

As we grow in darkness, so too do we grow in light, and all that occurs in darkness will eventually be revealed in the light. Let not the darkness be the strength creeping in your soul, but take from it iron strength and indomitable will to mesh with the positive energy and healing love of the light.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

FITNESS IS A LIFESTYLE

Your FITNESS is important, ESSENTIAL to overall soundness of body AND mind, to living a COMPLETE life. Therefore, it canNOT be something you only do “here and there”, but something you do CONSISTENTLY. Fitness has to be a LIFESTYLE.

We all have ups and down in our in our fitness, the way we do everything in life - that is normal. What is NOT normal is to use fitness the way you would fashion - as a trend, something you change based on how you feel or what is perceived as “normal”.

Fitness should not be a TEMPORARY commitment, something done only at specific times of the year or when you want to achieve a certain goal. Fitness is an INVESTMENT - in your HEALTH and well-being, in your FUTURE. See the VALUE in that investment, in making that LONG-TERM COMMITMENT, even if you might not see all the benefits of it right now - because I guarantee later on, you WILL.

There will be times along the way when it will be hard and you might question the time and effort you invest in your fitness, but as with everything, it is to be expected, because NOTHING worth doing ever comes easy and withOUT sacrifice. However, if you commit to your health and make fitness a LIFESTYLE, instead of a “passing trend”, you will NEVER regret it.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

IN YOU

LIFE is a battlefield. It is an endless WAR - a time of conflict and CHANGE. Of REVOLUTION rising – in your soul, heart, and mind. Of CHALLENGE – of everything you are and do and can BE.

Life is full of darkness. It is dirty and dusty and can wear on a soul. It can shut down a heart, create despair in a mind, destroy a man so completely that they want to die and disappear from the world altogether. This is the ugly side of war - of HUMANITY.

Yet in the midst of war there is immense BEAUTY. There can be seen acts of GREATNESS – often overlooked and unknown, but by no means less great. There dwells HOPE in the hearts of man – for the future, the PROMISE that it holds and the wonder that await you.

There lies in YOUR soul something more PRECIOUS than anything in the world. It is STRONGER than anything life can - and will try to - throw at you, something that is DEEPER than what can be SEEN. It is something that is so much a PART of you that no matter WHAT happens, it canNOT be taken from you – even if others THINK they have broken you down so much, caused so much pain and destruction that it looks like you will never rise again, it is STILL there, DRIVING you to survive, so that you can LIVE.

That something in your soul is greater than LIFE itself. It is more POWERFUL than HOPE. It is more beautiful than LOVE. It is on par to FAITH, something bigger than anything you can fathom. It is a part of GOD dwelling inside us – we only need to REALIZE it, RECOGNIZE it, and ACKNOWLEDGE it. He is ALWAYS there – through EVERYTHING, just waiting for you to ALLOW yourself to walk ALONGSIDE Him in your journey through this life, so that He can GUIDE you through the minefields and rubble of the world.

He is IN your life, your SOUL, whether you are aware of it or not. He is ALWAYS there, waiting patiently outside that closed door to your HEART. He WANTS to HELP you, to see you THROUGH the battlefield of life. Will you LET Him?

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

ONE STEP FORWARD

Each day is a NEW day. A new day to take another CHANCE. A new day to take ANOTHER step. Another step FORWARD in the direction of your dreams. Another step forward, no matter how small. For even the smallest of steps is PROGRESS towards the fulfilment of the ultimate achievement. The ultimate achievement of the ULTIMATE dream. Whatever that may be. For it is different to each and every individual. But no matter what, I canNOT be stopped. I cannot be stopped from TAKING that step. I cannot be stopped from reaching that one bit FURTHER. I cannot be stopped from STRIVING for “just one more”. I cannot be stopped from doing my BEST, even if my “best” on any given day is not as good as it has been in the past or will be in the future. I will have given my best, my all on that day, and that is what MATTERS. What matters is moving FORWARD. What matters is keeping the dream ALIVE. Keeping the dream alive in my HEART and the hearts of those I touch. For when I touch others, I make a DIFFERENCE. And when you make a difference, especially in a dream, you can CHANGE the world. ONE step at a time.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

BRAVER, STRONGER, SMARTER

All of us have a GREAT capacity for courage and strength and intelligence. We might not think it, but we DO.

When you are going through immense change and everything in your life is topsy-turvy, upside down and back-to-front, and you keep GOING, head down, surging FORWARD through it all that is COURAGE. When your life changes so dramatically that tragedy besets you at almost every turn and you don’t know when the flames of destruction and pain will end, but you hold your head high and continue walking THROUGH the fire that is STRENGTH. When you have no idea what direction your life is headed but, coupled with what you know and common-sense, trust your instinct to lead you true that is INTELLIGENCE.

There is MORE within us than we could ever have possibly imagined. Some of us have just not yet had the life experience that causes us to draw deep within us to what we might have thought we never had. Those of us that have, whilst know the pain and suffering and heartache of such times, understand the NEED for them, their NECESSITY for personal GROWTH, and in TRULY knowing the desires hidden deep inside our SOUL.

When you see and ACCEPT those desires, you are called upon yet again to use that courage to step out AFTER your dreams, your strength to withstand any OBSTACLES that might want to hold you back, and the intelligence to know what to do when, so that you can ACHIEVE your dreams and see them made REALITY. Life is a winding path and you never know which way it can turn, so we do the BEST with what we have as we strive to become the BEST that we can possibly BE.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

TRAINING FOR YOU

Your training should be for YOU. It HAS to be. Otherwise it will not last, because you need to WANT it, the same way you have to want everything else that has a lasting presence in your life. It has to be about YOU, no one else. You sweating, crying, bleeding, because YOU want something to CHANGE in your life, READY to make the sacrifices, hurdle through the obstacles, do what it is you must, to MAKE that change, and have it PERMANENT. A permanent POSITIVE that will help you become BETTER, EVERY day for the rest of your life.

Once you start and you start for YOURSELF, no one else has the power to stop you unless you ALLOW them to, consciously or unconsciously making that decision that might take you away from the oath you have set yourself upon. Once you have made the decision that what you are doing is for YOU, if you stop, it is NOT because of someone else, but because of YOU, and you alone are responsible. So be ACCOUNTABLE to yourself, know how much you want it, always remember WHY you started and what it MEANS to you to CONTINUE, and if you stop, realize that it is YOU who has stopped.

ALWAYS have a goal to focus on, motivation to keep you focused, inspiration to increase your motivation, and those who will be honest with you along the journey. After all, not everything can be self-driven, although when you train it NEEDS to be, but others can help push you when you will not push yourself, because let’s face it, sometimes we all have those days when we wonder what we are doing and forget that WE decided to do this, only needing that small reminder that it’s all WORTH it to fight through the pain and FINISH what we started.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

EVERYONE HAS A STORY

You have a story. I have a story. EVERYone has a story. A story about life; an event; a period; a moment; a truth; something significant that changed, whether it be in an instant or over time. Everyone has a beginning, middle, and end; some are just starting, whilst others are nearing the finish line.

What you see is NOT reality; it is not what WAS or what CAN be or what WILL be. It simply is what is right NOW, and “right now” can change in an instant. You canNOT look at a person and know what they have been through, where they have come from; you canNOT assume that just because someone LOOKS fit and healthy that they have ALWAYS been fit and healthy, or even that they ARE fit and healthy, because what one LOOKS like is no indicator of what they truly are INSIDE. Sure, looks may help reflect the lifestyle a person leads, even in fitness, but it does not mean that they ARE fit and healthy.

So before you are quick to have an IMPRESSION of someone you know NOTHING about, take the time to GET to know them. Ask them who they are and where they have been, and even more importantly, WHERE they are going and what they are taking from their experience. Where one has been gives you an understanding of where they are at now, and can help motivate not just them, but YOU as well, FORWARD.

You might be surprised to learn that the trainer who looks like a fitness model was once the “fat kid” at school, tormented until they reached a breaking point and turned their life around. Or that the woman who trains like someone possessed lives in constant physical pain every day, pushing through the pain because she knows the end result is worth enduring more pain. Or that the most motivating person you know projects positivity to hide the pain they feel inside, because they know that if they cannot help themselves at least they can inspire others to do great things.

What would you do if you KNEW these things? Would it change your PERSPECTIVE? Would it improve your AWARENESS? Would it make a DIFFERENCE?

EVERYONE has a story and you never know unless you ASK or they SHARE. You never know the impact YOUR story could have on another’s life, the difference knowing what you have been through and struggle with could have on someone you do not even know. So do not be afraid to let others know where you have been and what you have overcome to be where you are today.

It’s about COMMUNITY, making a DIFFERENCE, being there to HELP others create a BETTER life. SHARE TO INSPIRE!

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

ACT ON YOUR FUTURE

One small step can turn into leaps and bounds and somersaults, and before you know it, you’re jumping off cliffs into the open chasm below with arms wide open…

The first step is always the hardest. The first three weeks of getting up and going after something, trying to “reset” habits and patterns is always the most difficult. But you take that first step, get through those first three weeks, and everything after that becomes “easy”, and before you know, when you look back you wonder why you didn’t “start” SOONER.

STOP wondering. Start NOW. Don’t be the one who looks back three weeks from now and KNOW where you could have been or SHOULD be and berate yourself for NOT doing it. Instead, SET your plan and know what you are going to be doing day-by-day to get you one more step CLOSER to your goals. Set your plan and then ACT on it.

Envision yourself jumping off that cliff and LOVING it. Imagine running through the waves on the beach and feeling the JOY seeping through every inch of your being. Reach out for the stars and know that you have it within you to be soaring through the heavens WITH them. Know that it is NOT a dream, but a reality just waiting to be “created”.

And it’s on YOU to create it. It’s on YOU to be the change you want in your life. It’s on YOU to take that first small step that will cause your “domino effect” of growth and achievement.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

STILL LEARNING

No one is perfect. No one ever truly becomes ALL they are meant to be in this lifetime, even though we TRY as hard as we can to attain the ULTIMATE and become the BEST version of us that we can POSSIBLY be.

No one knows everything. No one every truly stops learning, as there is infinitely vast knowledge on myriad subjects, some so obscure that to find one who knows even the slightest tidbit on them is rare, and we continue to our last breath to learn new things.

No one is immune. No one ever truly can say that they are invincible and never need help, for everyone has a weakness, even if it is not visible to the world, and everyone has a point in their life when they desire even a second soul for the minutest moment, if only to listen.

This life is finite, even as life is infinite. We can never stop learning or growing as we evolve into something greater than we are. We will always be surrounded by people, even as we cast ourselves alone at times, and loneliness is a reality for those even in the crowd, if only in passing.

Life is for us to CONTINUE, to APPLY all that we know, so that we can GROW into the most incredible of souls, surprising the world and BEING surprised by the MAGNITUDE of the WONDER in which we exist as such a tiny speck, as significant as we allow ourselves to be created.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

BELIEVE

Believe in yourself and the dreams in your heart. Believe in yourself and the goals you want to see manifest. Believe in yourself and the things you want to come true. Believe in yourself and stay true to yourself in everything you say and do.

Believe with all your heart that if it truly is important to you, then NOTHING will stop you from attaining it. Nothing will stand in your way or say “no, you cannot do that”, and if it does, you will knock it flying, because you have so much faith that you are flying on the wings of hope, and hope is so very powerful.

Believe in yourself and what you truly want and know that ANYthing can be made possible, become possible, BE possible. Dare to dream OUTside the realm of what is “possible”. Let nothing tell you that is it not, and if they do, do NOT accept it, for truth is what is and not one’s opinion.

Believe in the heavens and the stars that light them and that you can REACH those heavens if you truly strive to touch the stars and be AMONG them. Do NOT limit yourself to what SEEMS possible or conventional and doable by man, but live by the dreams in your heart and ALWAYS BELIEVE.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

THE PURPOSE OF LIFE

We all have a purpose in life. We all have a philosophy as to how we LIVE. Some live to make a difference, happiness simply a “side” benefit if it occurs. Others live to find the happiness in life, instead of for something greater than self. The world is made up of all kinds of people, and it needs those people to have BALANCE.

Being happy is a state of mind, of emotions, affected by far more than anyone could ever possibly describe, and for each individual, being happy means something different than it does to the next person.

Not being happy is not the same as being UNhappy. Those who live to make a difference may not always be happy, but they will likely never be unhappy, for they are doing what they love, and when you do what you love, you have a sense of peace and satisfaction, of fulfilment. Those who live only to find the happiness may never truly know what it is, because if one is never NOT happy, how can they know what true happiness is? And if you ARE happy, what is the point if you have lived selfishly, that happiness true or false, because who can truly be happy being completely selfish?

Everyone is going to have their own opinion on this and I respect that. Life is a balance of souls and always will be. But let me ask: What are YOU doing with your life? What are you LIVING for? What is your PURPOSE?
