Life is a miracle. Every day is another chance; every moment a whisper of heaven waiting to be discovered. Let it be unleashed...Love is a blessing. It is the most beautiful and most painful at once. It shows us the nature of "beauty and the beast". It breathes life into us, even as it "takes 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...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"...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 have never 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...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.

Life is short and it is oh so very PRECIOUS. EVERY moment counts and every second matters. Everything you DO has cause and effect. Everything you SAY lingers in a heart or mind or time. Everything you ARE can change the world AROUND you...WORK on making the one YOU live in the way you WANT it to be as much as you can effect and have "power". As you strive to become the BEST you possibly can, encourage OTHERS to their potential alongside you, showing them that there is ALWAYS hope and NOTHING is "impossible"...LIVE life as you strive, ENJOYING the "moments" that will become memories, GRATEFUL for the blessing of those kindred souls who journey with you and have come to mean more than you ever might have thought. As you open your heart and let your soul SMILE allow yourself simply to "be", EMBRACING all that you are and will become, INVITING the future and opportunity for GROWTH, inspiring movement and momentum of vision...EVERYthing has a PURPOSE. Every "chance" is a gift given, a mystery to unravel, a wonder to behold, a blessing to be shared. Every NEW day is another day to unlock potential, change in ways that might have once been unfathomable, experience the amazing in the "normal", make a DIFFERENCE as only YOU can. RECOGNIZE it and take control, even as you let Him "lead", understanding that every day is His gift to you, your "second chance" to live a life of choices that will create positive example to INSPIRE courage and "risk" in others to LIVE their lives as COMPLETELY as possible...

The journey to higher awareness and greater awakening is not one all "succeed" through, but it is one the healing warrior understands only too well. Those moments, the breaking, they are never easy, no matter how many times you go through them, or for whatever reason. They are never easy. And it takes a lot of courage to keep going, to bring yourself to continue showing up in the world when you want to disappear from it altogether sometimes. It takes strength to walk among the calm and show nothing of the chaotic storm going on inside, to give a smile because you know that you never know what another may be going through and it could be the difference they need today. It takes more than many may ever know, to process the pain and accept the lesson trying to be taught through it, because you know that you cannot just accept it but have to know it, truly know, deep down in your soul, not only in your head and felt in your heart.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

Your life is but one in immeasurable threads in the tapestry of life and will touch more than you know, crossing over and under, between and through, even wrapping around others. In the same way, other threads will come in contact with your own, some wrapping tight around you to create a mess, albeit a beautiful mess. Yet no matter how much beauty in the initial entanglement, time has a way of revealing the true colour and nature of each thread, and should those that surround you dramatically or seek to forcibly change the unique vibration of your own, you must determine whether to stay and let the mess become an ugly ruin, extricate your thread as best you can, or cut it off and allow what was lost in the mess be as you start a new weaving in a different part of life's tapestry.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY


TROUBLED WATERS


If you’ve ever been in the ocean on a stormy day you’ll know what it’s like out there - how rough, the waves pounding down, pummelling the shore, hard and heavy, even in the deeper waters, debris washing ashore, taken from far out to sea. Storms cast wide nets, troubling not just the shore but the HEART of the ocean itself as well, stirring it into a frenzy of confusion and distress.


But storms are not all horrible - they can be BEAUTIFUL and refreshing, and you find your CALM in the midst of all the chaos, clearing your mind of trouble. Amidst that storm, in all the cacophony of thought and action in and around you, you can find an inner STILLNESS, an inner sense of peace, a cleansing touch to wash AWAY the debris from your life and your heart.


We NEED the troubled waters to learn how to survive. We need them to show us how to stay AFLOAT. We are never meant to be there to flounder and struggle, and if we do such, only so that we discover HOW to swim, to TRIUMPH against the odds and come out VICTORIOUS. Troubled waters are just another test, another obstacle we must battle through in life.


In troubled waters we often FIND ourselves, discover what we are truly capable of, what we are willing to do just to stay alive. For none of us want to drown, even if we might think we do - all we want is to know that we’ll be ok, that we are NOT alone in our struggle. Sometimes we must experience that struggle to UNDERSTAND who we are and what we value in life, what we are living FOR and desire with all our soul.


Troubled waters make us do one of the hardest things in the world to do - look INSIDE ourselves and see what is there. Is it a soul worth saving? Of course it is. Is there anything that needs to be let go of and left behind for good? Absolutely. Is there more than we thought possible hidden deep down in the depths? Yes, just waiting for the right time to reveal itself and come into its own.


Troubled waters give us an OPPORTUNITY to say yes or no to life and determine in our hearts how we will LIVE that life if we choose to save it; to see what we are truly made of and capable of being and BECOMING; to see life from a different perspective, CHANGED from the inside out. Troubled waters CLEANSE us and prepare us for what is to come, the future and all the Blessings it has WAITING.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY


Are you ready to LEAP into 2016? Leave the past behind, truly and completely, taking with it only yourself and the lessons you have learned and the growth you have made over 2015. Give yourself permission to openly and willingly embrace the ongoing journey of evolutionary and enlightened change that your awakened soul has traversed, striving higher and further than ever, determining that if 2015 was the year of "infinite possibilities", 2016 is going to be the year of "making reality" the possibilities you want and desire. Let yourself FLY!

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

ONE PERSON

Life is funny with the people it brings across our path. It brings the people you need into your life at the time that you need them; whether it be for a lesson or to help with something going on in your life, and even if that timing is all wrong for anything else right then.

A reason, a season, or a lifetime; that’s what people are. So many reasons and seasons, and so very few lifetimes, the lifetimes that are, so very precious.

It's strange to realize that what you thought was a “lifetime” was only a season or a reason; or that a “reason” or “season” could actually become a lifetime. How life turns things upside down, back to front, and inside out; just when you thought you had figured things out, one moment can change everything, your life never the same.

Cherish what you have when you have it, for you never know when it may be gone from you. Take pleasure in the moment, enjoy the time spent together, learn your lessons, and value the hand outstretched unconditionally in friendship, for you never know when that one person could touch you in ways you never imagined.

Life is unexpected, so be prepared for anything.

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

TURN IT ALL AROUND

There is NEVER a time when you do NOT have the power to CHANGE your life: The direction you’re going in, the people in it, the dreams headed towards. EVERY passing minute is an OPPORTUNITY for you to make decisions that will alter the course of your destiny in a way you might never have imagined. Every decision could turn your life AROUND in a way you could never have foreseen and be something that gives you the ultimate experience of your life.

There is never a time when YOU do not have the POWER to change YOUR life. All it requires in BELIEF in yourself: That yes you ARE in control, that your soul instinctively knows best the path to take when you come to a crossroads, that when you’re not sure faith too is powerful beyond belief. Belief and TRUST in something far greater than you: He is ALWAYS there, and even if it might seem sometimes we stumble, it is not for the hurt that we do, but the lesson in preventing the fall, or picking ourselves back up if we fall.

There is never a TIME when YOU do not have the power to change your LIFE: If you stumble, correct your motion as best you can to create the least damage possible; if you fall, get back up as quickly as you can; if you injure yourself in the fall, realize that you do not have to do everything alone and sometimes being strong means admitting you need help. There are people in your life who will never walk away, who would pick you up and carry you if they had to; never forget that.

YOU always have the POWER to CHANGE your life! You ALWAYS have the power to TURN it all AROUND! OPEN your eyes; see through your SOUL; CONNECT with your world. It is ALL there: Everything you need, everyone you need, within and without. Stay TRUE to your soul; KEEP the faith; hold tight to His PROMISES. Know that in the end everything will be all right; you will arrive where you are supposed to, no matter how long or far to get there; it is a truly life-changing journey to BECOMING.
