MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

LIVING FLAME

“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.” – 2 Corinthians 5:17

Sometimes it takes more than once; multiple “lifetimes” to create the best version of self that can possibly be, even as we continue growing and evolving with each “resurrection”. Every experience contributes to the being we are and become, but not everything is necessary to be taken “with” us into the “new” and there come times in our lives when we must leave behind all that was for all that will and could be. We must “release” the old so that the “new” can live in victory.

As a phoenix rises from the ashes of its own flames, having grown through burning “hell”, purified by heat and pressure like a diamond, so must and do we. Everything cold and dead or that no longer serves purpose in our lives with forward progression and momentum must be removed and let go of, the fire within that burns so bright separating itself from anything that would drag it down or hold it back from burning brighter and flying higher.

Find peace with your past, but let it shatter far beneath you as you rise on fiery wings to soar above the ocean, through the heavens, in the midnight sky, as another glowing flame spreading light in the darkness. Let everything ice burn and melt away with the heat of the passion and life that flickers and roars for freedom, and hold nothing back from the heat. Let the cold, hard prison that once “captured” you break as the fire burns it from the inside out, the world seeing the soul inside rise and shine.

Everything of “old” has been transformed; weakness become strength, with passion and heart renewed. The “new” has different feeling than what was, even if there are similarities in appearance, for the inner change, the evolution of soul, the spark that lights the fire now was created from the “death” of what “made” the new, the flames clean and bold and free from the dust and smoke of yesterday.  Burn as you were always meant to, a living flame, as an example.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

COMMITTED

EVERYthing you do counts for SOMEthing: A step forward or a step back; a smile or a frown; laughter or tears; progress or regression. EVERYthing you do should be to make you BETTER; constant desire to IMPROVE as an individual and in every facet of your life. For when YOU improve you unwittingly help OTHERS do the same.

What do you DREAM of? What do you THINK of? What ACTIONS are you making?

When you know what DRIVES you the DECISIONS you make become easy. For when you know what you want and you are COMMITTED to it 120% you do everything you can to make sure it HAPPENS. You operate at 212 degrees with EVERYthing you do.

ARE YOU COMMITTED?!

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

YOUR LIGHT

There’s a certain joy in knowing that you are able to make someone smile or shine a little bit of light in their darkness, to be able to make a difference no matter how small or insignificant it might seem in another’s life. There’s something that happens in one’s soul when they “feel” a glow in another and know that they have “helped” with it. There’s a spark that can be “relit” when we “give” of ourselves when we have little left to give, simply because in the unselfish act of desiring happiness for another, there is something that still has hope and can be “revived” to life within us.

Not everyone will ever experience that joy or change or spark, because not everyone is “built” the same. But those that do, acknowledged or not, understand and continue to strive to make a difference regardless of the darkness they might be battling or the storms they themselves traverse through, for the greatest blessings in life are often  those times when we find ourselves challenged the most. For on the flipside of “death’s” coin is life, as death is not the end nor is it final, and although everything done cannot be undone, it can be reworked and “remade” into something else entirely.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

THE BEST DREAMS

Dreaming when we are asleep can be wonderful, but the BEST dreams happen when we are AWAKE, for when we are awake we are truly AWARE. We can fully APPRECIATE the magic of the moment and know that it is REAL, not just something in our subconscious we desire.

The best dreams are not the ones we “sleep” but the ones we LIVE. They are in the choices we make each day, the chances we take, the risks we open our souls for because we want to believe in something, faith and hope that there is MORE out there than what we “see”, knowing that BETTER days are coming because our actions today are CREATING them. WE are creating the reality we will live in, the dreams that will become our future, even as they might be real in our NOW.

The best dreams are the ones that we do NOT let slumber, but seek to let see light of the morning sun rising gloriously upon, the ones that we smile in in REAL life. Life itself is a “dream”, a “story”, a “fairy-tale written by God’s hands”, and “happily ever after” DOES exist, but only because we CHOOSE to make them HAPPEN. They say the most “dangerous” people are those who dream when awake, for those are the ones that CREATE their dreams, while the “sleeping dreamers” are satisfied with keeping theirs “fiction”.

Why NOT make your dreams your REALITY? NOTHING is impossible after all; especially when the dreams placed on your heart have rested insistently on your SOUL, consuming you slowly for what seems like a lifetime. Decide TODAY – are you a DOER or just a “wannabe” dreamer? Do you have what it TAKES to RISK it all now for what you want in your FUTURE? Do you DARE stop saying “I wish” and start ACTING?

Remember, the BEST dreams are the ones we choose to LIVE and when we live the life we love, we love the life we live!

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

ONE DROP IN THE OCEAN

One drop of water in a puddle ripples to the edge of the puddle. One drop of water in the ocean creates a ripple that spreads as far as it can, and you never ever see how far it reaches or when it ends, only know that it spans far more than you ever might imagine, for the waves carry that ripple to many waters, allow it to touch numerous shores, and that one drop may end up in its existence seeing more of the world than can be fathomable.

In the same way, YOU are a drop in the ocean of life. You have more reach and make more impact than you will ever possibly know of. EVERY word and action has a cause and effect, that effect sometimes spreading and touching the hearts and lives of people you might never have thought it would. Therefore, be careful what you say, what you do, who you spend time with, who you allow into your heart, for what you surround yourself with becomes a PART of you; an important part that instigates desires and emotions that manifest as thoughts and word and actions, that in turn can create ripples of effect that make a difference in AND to OTHERS.

You might be only ONE, but you are more POWERFUL than you think. You have more INFLUENCE than you know. You are watched not just by God, but by man, and EVERYTHING you are and do has an EFFECT, a change that can be positive or negative. You want your life to make a DIFFERENCE, a POSITIVE impact that inspires others to a BETTER life and motivating them to be FULFIL their potential and become ALL that they can be.

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

SHADES OF GREY

Life is NOT black and white. It is many shades of grey and all the colours of the spectrum in between. It took me a lifetime for this mindset “shift” to be, but when you learn and understand this, “right and wrong” take on different meanings. “Good and bad” are no longer so simple, because good people do bad things and vice versa. You stop seeing the world through a “filter” and begin to see where there are stains of shadow and colour through even what you used to believe were the clearest cut of things.

Life is a conglomerate of “light and dark”, each coexisting with the other not just because they can, but from NECESSITY. Without one there would be no other, each the “balance” needed on the scales when the other assumes too much control. Just as a coin would have no real distinction or recognition if it had only one side, nonetheless in only having one side, it would be an anomaly, as all things in life are “anomalies” in their uniqueness.

Not just life, but WE too are made up of “shades of grey”. There are brilliant streaks of light through our souls, even as it is dappled with myriad shades of grey in between, until those shades become so dark they disappear into a black that sinks into the deepest darkness. Yet we have the power to CHOOSE what we will “be”, how we live, which end of the spectrum we develop, and whether or not we will allow splashes of colour to pervade the grey.

When colour tempers shades of grey, life takes on a different perspective yet again. It is roused into “life” and can be experienced on a whole new level. Black and white may be “boring”, yet it can bring the “true soul” to light. Shades of grey mean the soul is far more complicated than just what is perceived. And colour interspersed throughout the soul mean that one can never truly ever put a “label” on a soul, for it is a living, breathing entity in constant evolution.

See life and yourself for what it TRULY is. Understand that everything is always shifting and changing. Nothing remains the same for very long and what was “true” one day may not be the next. Realize the “shades” that surround you. Know your soul so well that you know where you are “rooted” and although you may become one of the greatest in your spectrum of light to dark, you never compromise the essence of the core of your being.

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

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

TAKE CARE OF YOU

If you do not take care of YOURSELF, you will be in no shape to care take of anyone ELSE. It’s time to take care of YOU, so that you can give your BEST to the world.

No more letting yourself go, even though you have been HAPPY the last few weeks. No more “I can get away with it”, because it has been shown that you actually cannot any longer if you are not TRAINING. No more time off from training, even if your body HAS needed it. No more allowing yourself to sleep in, even though your body has welcomed the REST. No more comfort, even if you have enjoyed it for the FIRST time in your life. You may have been happy and enjoyed it, and it may have helped you in SOME way, but it has NOT been conducive to your health and well-being. It has NOT been kind to you and is NOT “taking care” of yourself.

NO MORE letting yourself go! No more COMPLACENCY! No more “It’ll be ok when I get back on track” attitude. It’s “back on track” NOW and NO going BACK! No more backwards motion! Only FORWARD!

You were doing just fine before. You were in a good place, comfortable physically, and you WILL be again. You were finally SATISFIED with where you were and now it is all gone, but you CAN AND WILL be in that state again. Only this time you will be BETTER! AND you will be HAPPY, able to allow yourself to ENJOY life and MAINTAIN that satisfaction [in your body] withOUT any complacency, striding only FORWARD with your life, because the future holds so much for you!
