MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

THE PATHS UNINTENDED

Sometimes talking with someone new can open up new perspectives, give new thought and ideas, offer new options. It may be merely by chance such an interaction, but it can have more effect than you know as what has been discussed mulls over in your mind. Where once logic ruled emotions had been allowed to take more control and now both are trying to work together to decide the best course of action, even as at the end of the day, instinct and “listening to your gut” will be the final determinant.

We all have times when we lose our way and even what had not so long ago been the surest of paths in front of us becomes blurry with doubt. Yet we must KEEP going, for there is no stopping. There can be no stopping, for if we rest we might get caught up in the fog and wander from all reason entirely.

Yet despite all reason, sometimes we stop. We want to rest. We want to close our eyes and seek comfort in that outside our realm. Sometimes it helps calm the storm and bring clearer vision. Sometimes it only exacerbates the situation and we find ourselves caught in the world we disappeared into when we “wake” again.

But there is hope. There is ALWAYS hope. No matter how dark the darkness, how unsure your footing on the path, whether there even IS a path to follow, you move. And in the moving you either find the path or create a NEW one.

Creating a new path, one not “foreseen” before you began your journey, is not all bad. Sometimes not all roads are meant to be traveled and in the “crossroads” of our “blindness” we unerringly come to the one that will start a new chapter in our life’s journey. A chapter that will force more growth, but in the doing open up different opportunities and viewpoints that we might not have considered or seen before.

Everything for a reason, so they say. Perhaps. Or maybe there is no “end” and the journey is the “creation”, for it is the journey where we struggle and learn and grow and evolve into something more than we were. EMBRACE the process. Be grateful that you are still alive to travel. Welcome the unexpected companions you come across along the way, whether they are meant to walk with you for mere minutes or far longer. You have nothing to lose, so let instinct guide you.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

THE SCARY CHOICES

Sometimes we find a dream in our heart that we didn’t realize was there, discovered during a period of darkness, or when someone or something completely UNexpected comes into our life and we are knocked out for the count. Sometimes those dreams can SCARE us beyond all imagining, something we never wanted or ever thought we could or would want, held in trepidation as we debate the decision whether or not to FOLLOW our heart in this matter.

Will we or won’t we? Will we step out and risk everything we know and have ever known for something OUTSIDE the scope of our experience and knowledge, so unknown that we feel helpless and lost in navigating our way through it? Will we choose to look BEYOND everything that could possibly go wrong on the journey, seeing instead the wonderful OPPORTUNITY that life is blessing us with, the dream we have denied our heart for so long?

Whether your mind acknowledges it or not, once you are AWARE of this dream, you can NEVER become UNaware, that dream becoming a PART of you, living and breathing with you, held capture in your heart, no matter how far down you may try to push it or try to deny its existence out of fear of what might happen IF you follow it. You’ll never know if you don’t give it a chance, if you don’t take the risk and put yourself out there, if you don’t DO.

But when you’re afraid and you just DO it anyway, that’s when you grow and open yourself up to new POSSIBILITIES, when your heart SINGS in the exhilarating feeling of not knowing but knowing and having FAITH that something WONDERFUL is going to happen. It’s not just persevering and desiring it with a force more powerful than you ever realized, but it’s making the choices that scare us the MOST, stepping into the decisions that you want so desperately but have never allowed yourself to consider a plausible reality, that CHANGE us the most and can be the BEST things we ever do, WORTH everything in the end.

Will YOU hear and HEED the call of you HEART and take the RISK, no matter how fearful you are, no matter how hard the path ahead might seem, to SEE where it takes you, to take the chance that it could be something that ENRICHES your life BEYOND anything else you have ever known? Will you be BRAVE and EMBRACE it, knowing that God would never have offered such an unexpected gift it He did not WANT it for you? WILL YOU?

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

WHAT YOU BELIEVE

Your life does not happen by mere coincidence. You do not achieve the things you do by accident. You do not become the person you are by fate. You make a decision in your mind based off the dreams in your heart and you act on those dreams and it takes you on the journey you now tread.

When you dream set NO limits. See EVERYTHING as possible. Reach for the stars and HIGHER. Let no one or nothing tell you that what you see in your mind is not for you.

When you dream you set your “starting point”. You start NOW. Not tomorrow or some date in the future, but right now. Your destination is the VISION you hold and the journey to its realization is what will “create” the person you will BECOME.

BELIEVE in your dream. Believe that your vision will make a DIFFERENCE. Believe that you were created for a PURPOSE. Believe in the person you WANT to be.

Your life and who you become are based on the foundation of your dreams, for the one who ACTS on their dreams sets in motion events far beyond what even they can fathom. So don’t just dream and dream HIGH, but ACT on your dreams and watch the way your world CHANGES.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

MORE OF WHAT MAKES YOU AWESOME

You have passion for certain things for a reason. You have specific talents and abilities for a reason. You are like no other, past, present, or to be. You are you for a reason and who you are is AWESOME.

FOLLOW your passions. USE your talents and abilities. CELEBRATE your uniqueness. No one else can ever “be” YOU, so make the MOST of it and show the world who you ARE.

Put a smile on someone’s face just because you CAN. Make a heart happy because in their happiness YOU also find happiness. Hold NOTHING back for you never know when you will never have another moment to say or do that which your soul seeks to express.

You are so much MORE than a body. You are SO much more than a soul. You are so much more than another LIFE. So make the MOST of the life you have been given and let your light SHINE bright amidst the wonders of the world around you.

Do more of what makes you YOU. Be who only YOU can be. Make the DIFFERENCE that only you can make. Love the way only you know how to love. LIVE and do MORE of what makes you AWESOME.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

SOUL ON FIRE

A soul on FIRE can CHANGE the world. At least the one it is IN; the world of those AROUND it. It can make such a DIFFERENCE that the lives of all it touches will NEVER be the same ever again.

A soul on fire is POWERFUL. It can draw other souls to it like a magnet; moths to the flame that burns BRIGHT in the darkness. The VISION of that soul can INSPIRE more in the hearts of the souls warmed by its light.

A SOUL on fire canNOT be ignored. It cannot be cast aside and dismissed; muted down into the depths of the darkness. Even in the midst of intense opposition and force such a voice will be HEARD and followed.

A soul on fire creates a raging INFERNO that blazes in the souls following. It ignites PASSION hiding and lying dormant in souls that have been waiting for something to set them ALIGHT. Such an inferno SPREADS, like ripples on a pool or waves in the ocean, reaching FURTHER than one could ever imagine.  

A soul on fire is a WEAPON. So be careful WHAT you do; the influence you exert. For you never know who will be affected, or how it will leave them. Since…

A soul on fire can IMPACT not just the sphere it exists in, but the WORLD in its entirety, as the ripples of effect touch the hearts and lives of souls it might never ever meet, but whom, through its words and actions and vision are profoundly affected. To live dreams or nightmares and in turn touching OTHERS.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

BE YOU

Be YOU. Just the way you ARE. If you change, change for YOU. If you grow, grow for YOU. If you dream, dream for YOU.

Do not let anyone take AWAY from who you are. Do not allow them to make you into LESS than the wonderful and beautiful creature that is you. Do not give them the power to control what you think and feel and dream.

BE you. In EVERYthing you say and think and do. Fear not to be yourself, uncut and raw in your emotions and feelings. Pause not in voicing the soul that hides inside the fragile yet resilient body housing it.

Let the world SEE you for who you are. Let it KNOW your story. Let it journey WITH you without letting it change you. Let your SMILE light up the dark when your thoughts are storming or another is tearful. Let your heart LOVE the ones who simply accept you and bring you so much joy every day.

BE YOU. Be BOLD in your chasing of dreams. Be ORIGINAL in your style and set yourself apart. Be LIMITLESS in knowing what you can accomplish and achieve in the “impossible”. Just be YOU.
