MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

THE WORLD

The world is in the palm of your hands, yours for the taking, if you BELIEVE it. It is there, in all its magnificence and glory, with all the possibilities and potential, just waiting for you to grasp it. Waiting for you to decide the reality you want and take that first step towards making it, to chase the dreams in your heart like anything LESS than success is never an option.

And it’s not. Success is always the aim, “failure” ever only a learning curve, a stepping stone teaching you how not to do something. We can always learn, because there is never a point in our lives when we stop evolving, where we should cease striving for the stars that light our soul and keep us burning bright. The world, especially our OWN, is what we MAKE of it and we can choose the path we take.

What path do YOU want to take? What MESSAGE do you want your life to give? What will YOU choose to define you? Myriad questions swirling inside the mind, seeking answers and demanding ACTION, because only action creates momentum towards the world desired to manifest. Only action ultimately makes the intangible TANGIBLE.

The world can be built or destroyed in the palm of your hands. It can be as big or as small as you perceive. The impression you leave and difference you make can be as whimsy as a leaf in a storm or as indelible as a branded scar. Everything you dream, say, do, believe, all becomes a part of the world and the reality you find yourself living in, so make sure it is what you WANT.

STARDUST

Life is a miracle. Every day is another chance; every moment a whisper of heaven waiting to be discovered. Let it be unleashed within and without you.

Love is a blessing. It is the most beautiful and most painful all at once. It can lift us to the heights of heaven or the depths of hell. It shows us the nature of "beauty and the beast". It breathes life into us, even as it can "take away". It teaches us valuable lessons about ourselves and life. It is a gift to be cherished when had and given freely without condition. When it touches your soul, it changes you, whether you want it to or not.

Learning is a necessity. Every experience is an opportunity to add to your knowledge or apply things learnt in times past. You are never "too old" to learn and the day you stop is the day you stop "living".

Living is an evolution. It means keeping your heart open once it has been “unlocked”.  Even if it means experiences that break us so they can "make" us and it's often during the darkest times in life that we discover what we are truly capable of, growing in ways we might never have thought we would. Beauty from pain and illumination from destruction, the times in our lives we struggle with the most becoming the strongest part of our life testimony and that which we can use the most to help others.

So open your heart. See the blessings that life has to offer and give and He wants you to HAVE. Keep the faith as you have the courage to dream and CHASE those dreams wherever they may take you. LIVE life as fully and completely as you can while you can. Make the MOST of every day and never stop reveling in the wonder of life. As you do, create such a DIFFERENCE with your life that no one can forget you LIVED.

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 it 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

KINDSIGHT

We are all human. We all have periods in our lives when we go backwards instead of forward - whether deliberate or not.

There are NO excuses for it, and I hold myself completely responsible, but the last eight weeks have been such a period for me, [even as it hasn’t at the same time]. A day of “bad” would have been ok. Three days even, would have been ok. A week would have been pushing it, but still within reasonable limits of minimal damage. But eight weeks - a LOT of damage can be and WAS done in eight weeks, COMPOUNDING on the damage ALREADY done. And every day, not just afterwards, but DURING, I desperately beat myself up inside, my mind screaming “NO!” as my body acted, berating and hating myself, wondering what in hell I was doing, because I knew BETTER, even as I deliberately went AGAINST that, [slowly destroying myself for something I thought I had ALREADY dealt with].

However, even when we make decisions we know are NOT conducive for us, we DO learn through them. We learn what we DON’T want. We realize more than ever just how we HATE feeling, affirming our goals and purpose, creating an even STRONGER desire to be and STAY on the RIGHT path.

We make the choice. Every day we decide what we will do. Sometimes we make the wrong choices. Sometimes we do it even though we KNOW they are wrong. Sometimes we can “get away” with it, but eventually we pay the PRICE. Hopefully in paying that price we LEARN, GROWING from the experience. After all, we canNOT take back what was done - only let it go and move on, FORWARD, thankful that it is NEVER too late to UNdo any damage done [and quickly, once we set our minds to discipline ourselves to the task].

It’s time to STOP going backwards. It’s time to say “NO MORE!” and take back CONTROL. It’s time to move FORWARD again! And this time to NEVER STOP MOVING FORWARD!
