MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY


BURN BABY BURN


Burn for everything you’ve ever loved. Burn for the passion that beats within you that cannot be extinguished. Burn for the purpose that few can or will ever understand you live for. Burn for the reasons that make sense sometimes only to you and cause you to feel alive. Burn for the sheer enjoyment of having been through everything you have and come out the other side of the fire fiercer and stronger and more powerful than ever before. Burn for His glory and let the world see the light of your flames and be inspired by your story. Burn because there is nothing greater than being an example of the living light that can motivate others into sparking their own flames alight and igniting a wildfire charged with positive change and passion. Burn with everything you are. Burn because there is no other way to live than ON FIRE!

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY


BECOME AN INSPIRATION

You are alive for a PURPOSE. Do NOT waste the precious breath you have been given on frivolous pursuits. Instead, let your life MEAN something. DO something with it. Devote yourself to the “service” of others, that you may INSPIRE in them a desire to be GREAT. HELP them to see the greatness hiding inside them, their POTENTIAL for ultimate success and the achievement of all their heart’s passions.

Live to INSPIRE others. Inspire them to become BETTER. Inspire them to want MORE out of life, to seek for DEEPER purpose, to discover what THEY are here for, and all that they are meant to be. Inspire them to PUSH the boundaries of what is “possible” and create dreams IN reality. Inspire them to more than they might have ever dreamed OF and in that, have them see that it is only just the BEGINNING.

Inspire those AROUND you. Inspire those you have NEVER met. Inspire those whose souls you connect with on a plane out of this dimension of time and space. The world is VAST, but we are all connected somehow in the tapestry of life, in ways we might never know of. Your stretch is further than YOU will ever fathom, and EVERYTHING you do impacts someone somewhere.

Live FOR something. Make your life FRUITFUL. Let the world SEE your passion. Let them FEEL it and know that it comes from a true heart of “wonder”. This life is not about you alone, but about the DIFFERENCE you make in the lives of OTHERS. Live to ensure that the difference YOU make has a POSITVE impact, seared on the souls of those you encounter, so that in turn, THEY live to inspire with their own “story”.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

DON'T SETTLE

There comes a time in your life when you say “enough is enough”, “this is not me”, “I will not let myself live like this anymore”. Your soul and heart and mind and body have great “memory” of the discipline you “lived” in the past – one part of the past that was truly an asset, and an asset that once had, never truly lost, because the ability and “habit” is already ingrained in who you are, and no matter if it seems “lost” for a time, is always there to be found and used again. The “memory” of the lifestyle “before”, the “good”, that which allowed progression and growth – that is all there, slumbering awakening, a dull rumbling beneath your skin, like the groaning of a volcano ready to erupt. LET it out – let it loose to be YOU again.

Settling was NEVER an option – “comfort” may have been slipped into, but once realized, can no longer be allowed. Motivation for everything you want and need is there – it has just been hard to “move”, but now there can be no excuses NOT to, because there is no one but you to whom you shall eventually be accountable for what you did and didn’t do in the pursuit of your dreams and desires. Those who achieve great things did not settle – they may have been “knocked down” or out for a time, but they did not let that stop them, and on the rise back up, found “new” strength and growth that would serve them in their surge forward. Forward momentum – habits might be hard to break and make, but once made, can be made again, better than before.

Chase your dreams with a vengeance – don’t let anything stop you, any obstacles serve only as “lessons”, milestones of growth and progression, keeping your mind objective as your heart focuses on your vision and purpose. Go after what you want – you KNOW you are worthy of it, accepting of yourself and what has brought you to who and where you are now, even as you know that you cannot and will not “stay” where you are now, because you are all about becoming better on every level, being the example for yourself that you are YOUR competition, leading by example that no matter what one has faced or is facing or will face, they can always OVERCOME and CONQUER!

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

LIVE "GREAT"

We should never start the day withOUT thoughts of greatness. We are not born to be “average” or “fit in”. We are born unique and different, destined to create footsteps where there are none.

Mediocre should be a word stricken from thought, NEVER to be considered or contemplated. We are living masterpieces and masterpieces are never “mediocre”.

When you wake up, thank Him for another chance to do something GREAT, see your dreams in your mind, feel them in your heart, and envision what your “chance” can be used to accomplish.

Make a DIFFERENCE. Leave a mark. Live with PURPOSE.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

BREATHE DREAMS

Every time you breathe, see your DREAMS in your mind. Every breath “releasing” them out into the universe, whispering them into something more than just a thought, but putting them out there so that you are not the ONLY one who knows.

Your dreams are your “truth”. They are the “compass” guiding your soul. And your life’s purpose is often tied up in those dreams, for we are not given the desires in our heart withOUT purpose, but because there is more than simply passion there; a gift that only we can “give” the world.

Take off any “masks” you might have worn or are wearing and allow yourself to be REAL for a moment. Let that moment linger and continue, so that there is nothing but the raw truth revealed to the world. Let them know who you are and what you stand for, the dreams you long for and the purpose you live.

Be PROUD of the soul standing here right now. Know that it is one step CLOSER to every dream it ever desired and already living its purpose as it walks towards those dreams.  As the dawn comes after every night, trust your soul and BELIEVE.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

METAMORPHOSIS

Metamorphosis can be a painful process, “trial by fire” with immense destruction and not everyone “survives” the process. Those that do are completely different creatures than those who were untouched by the flames; they who emerge from the fire have a new quality about them, the “difference” noticeable to all those who know them. There is a new strength that resonates beauty, scars that tell stories others will be inspired by, with a change in aura that reflects a deeper sense of self and awareness.

Sometimes the creature that emerges “looks” completely different to the one known in the lifetime passed. The fire often forges a new kind of creature, for everything not strong enough is burnt in the flames and that which is true pressured like a rough diamond, so that what has long been kept hidden might be revealed to the world. There is “magic” in metamorphosis and even though the creature that emerges from the flames is “new”, it is still the “same”, for the soul is still of the “old”, albeit having undergone its own transformation as it faces itself, choosing what to discard and keep.

Metamorphosis is often necessary, in retrospect a blessing to help bring us “into our own”, so that we might “see” life for what it truly is and understand the miracle of everything; that we too are such a miracle in the world and can be a source of light and inspiration regardless of our past. What we become might be something “strange” to others, even as it is beautiful, and many may dislike the change because it is not something they can fathom, but ignore them and let the “new you” follow the path that became so clear in the fire, so that you might fulfil the purpose resting on your soul.

Embrace the change and test the wings you have been given. There is “magic” inside you that was always intended to be released and the fire has peeled away the “fear” that kept it locked up tight, a new softness in the willingness to let your vulnerability be seen, a multitude of feelings and emotion escaping as you “step into the new”. The time of the past has passed and is no more; let it die with the fire and let the “new life” discovered in your soul be the one that you live and love, as you let yourself love and live.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

THE FUTURE

We don’t know what the future holds. We cannot predict it. But - we CAN HOPE for it. We CAN TRUST in His promises and have Faith that He knows what He’s doing, the way He’s moulding our circumstances - turning negatives into positives, fears into dreams, failures into opportunities - so that we can have nothing but the BEST. He ALWAYS has something WAITING for us, even if WE make the choices that might eventually take us AWAY from those things. After all, we DO have FREE WILL, the power of CHOICE, and what we do is not always in line with what He would want us to do. But, it IS our life, and we HAVE that grace.

We do not have dreams in our hearts for NO reason, so if you have one that CONSUMES you, then know that it is there for a PURPOSE. You might not know what for - and if you do, then more power to you - but when you DO, then nothing but good things can eventuate from its fruition, no matter how hard the journey there might be.

Even if we have a dream in our heart, it is not meant to STAY there. It is meant to be SHARED. You’re NOT alone on your journey to bringing it about. And if you have a dream, YOU cannot wait for Him to just “do it” for you - YOU must get out there and DO it yourself. YOU need to build the foundation, start the framework of your masterpiece, find the tools to help you, the people who will build with you, make the final decisions on anything important. He might place a dream there, or it might be OUR dream, born from the passion He instilled in us, but it is up to US to ultimately DO something about it.

I don’t know what my future holds. But I know what I WANT it to hold. I know what my heart HOPES for it to hold. And I know what I must do to get there. The journey is not going to be easy by any means, but it is one that I am WILLING to take, obstacles I will run THROUGH, chase away any shadows of doubt with the light of belief. Whatever happens, I know that He is looking out for me, that if my dreams are in line with HIS dreams for me, then there is an incredibly amazing and wonderful future ahead of me, beautiful and BLESSED and well WORTH waiting for.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

JUST BE BETTER

It’s not about being better than anyone ELSE. It’s about being a better YOU. It’s about being better than you were the DAY before, the HOUR before, the MINUTE before. It’s about striving for CONSTANT IMPROVEMENT IN YOURSELF.

Everything done should have a PURPOSE. That purpose should provide a step not only towards your goals and dreams, but in making you into the person you were MEANT to be. And the person you are meant to be is an ULTIMATE version of you; a constant journey of BECOMING BETTER.

It doesn’t matter what anyone else is doing. It doesn’t matter what anyone else looks like. It doesn’t matter what anyone else thinks YOU should do and be. What matters is that YOU are following YOUR heart and working towards YOUR dreams, and your dreams are making you BETTER.

Use the time you have NOW. Not in the future, nor living in the past. Live in the NOW and create the BEST opportunities for you to evolve into a HIGHER being, throwing all limitations ASIDE and ignoring any negativity from those who seek not to support or encourage your personal and spiritual GROWTH.

Life is a journey. No, it’s not JUST about you, but if you do not focus on you and becoming the BEST you that YOU can be, you cannot possibly give of your best and help anyone else become the best that THEY can be. Your life is an EXAMPLE to inspire and motivate OTHERS into becoming BETTER.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

CREATE A "SOUL" LIFE

Create a life that makes you FEEL as good as it LOOKS. Create it with your SOUL involved, your passion stirring furiously, your dreams alight, motivation taken a hold of your heart and setting your mind to action. Create a life that causes your soul to DANCE inside your body, your passion to overflow and spread to others, your light to widen your sphere of contact, your heart to hope, your mind to eliminate any traces of doubt or negativity it might ever have had. Create a life that makes you feel like a sunrise EVERY morning, no hesitation in knowing that every soul you touch you make a difference to, PEACE ruling your own because you are walking your OWN path with PURPOSE.

When you create a life that feels good on the INSIDE it will ALSO look good on the OUTSIDE. But without the former, the latter is simply empty illusion, meaningless and unfulfilling. There has to be SOUL in your life, PASSION in your living, heart in your actions and truth in your INTERactions. Create a REAL life, not an impression that looks good and perfect to any who see it. Create a heaven in hell and be THE difference in your OWN life as you seek to make a difference in that of others.

YOU hold the key in your soul to the life that you will ultimately lead. A life of “soul” that FEELS good or one that only LOOKS good, one mere illusion and the other reality comingling to create BOTH. You CAN “have it all” if you BELIEVE it and let your deepest truths “show you the way”.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

DONE DESPITE FEELING FEAR

No one can be strong all of the time. No one never NOT experiences fear and even the strongest individual you know has felt fear at SOME point in their life  – whether heart-clenching fear or barely the faint whisper of it. Part of what MAKES them strong is feeling the fear but surging FORWARD in spite of it, following the path they know in their heart is MEANT for them, having FAITH that every footstep will make a DIFFERENCE, each stride made with PURPOSE, even if they are not quite sure where the path they are treading will eventually lead.

Fear can bring out aspects of our character we might not have realized were there, surprised that such qualities we own. Good, bad, masks, real, fear fights an interesting battle in our hearts and minds, creating an environment to either blossom or fall. Having the courage to CONTINUE forward when everything seems against you, uncertain when the tunnel will filter light into the darkness is a mark of strength and courage. In that tunnel you find your soul, face yourself, your demons versus your angels, and discover your TRUE nature.

It’s ok to have weak moments. It’s ok to feel fear. It’s ok to be HUMAN. It’s NOT ok to let those moments and that fear CONTROL you and dictate what you feel you are able to do, because you ALWAYS have the POWER to make a different reality for yourself, if you have but the courage and determination to take that first step out into UNKNOWN territory and run towards the BRILLIANT future WAITING for you, the one who had FAITH and took the plunge, ignoring the voices of doubt and disillusion, knowing that God guards His precious.

Have faith in Him. Have faith in YOURSELF. Feel the fear and DO it anyway. FIND YOUR STERNGTH.

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

GOOD FOR THE SOUL

Sometimes doing the very thing that you DON’T want to do is what you NEED to do to bring your soul PEACE. Comfort with yourself, confidence in who you ARE, the ability to let your worries fly free, are all markers of a soul that has come to terms with their ROLE in the world, knowing and ACCEPTING their deepest and darkest secrets, often hidden for so long from themselves at the core.

It’s GOOD for the soul to FACE your secrets, to face YOURSELF, to learn to let GO of the world you cannot change and focus on changing what you CAN, knowing that if you are NOT happy with what you see and know and are doing, changing a small part of the world, the one you are IMMERSED in.

It’s good for the soul to KNOW thyself, to get a grasp on WHO you are and WHERE you NEED and WANT to be. Change is a CONSTANT evolution and we must ensure that we are NOT left behind in the progression for BETTERING ourselves, the pursuit of our PURPOSE.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

ALL YOU CAN

Whether you think it, believe it, or know it, or not, YOU have the POWER to make a DIFFERENCE in this world! Yes, YOU! Every person you meet, every situation you find yourself in, every experience you go through, is all an OPPORTUNITY to make that difference. It might not be a big difference, but even a small difference IS a difference.

Look at everything with the eyes of your heart. Whether it is asked for or not, offer assistance when you see another struggling, allow yourself to be the shoulder that a bleeding heart weeps on, be honest when the truth can be blurry. EVERYTHING you say or do makes a difference to someone somewhere, even if you never know.

We are alive for a PURPOSE, and that purpose is to do EVERYthing possible in your lifetime to make as MUCH difference as you can to as MANY people as possible! When you embrace that calling, then you become more conscious of yourself, others, and your surroundings. You become aware of your IMPORTANCE in the world, knowing that no one else can ever replace the gift that you give to it.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

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

WHAT YOU WANT

Sometimes we have a dream that we are hesitant to go after because we believe for whatever reason, whether we told it to ourselves or someone else did and we started believing that we do not deserve what we want. That is NOT true. You DO deserve your heart’s desire, the passionate dreams lying in your soul, for they were NOT placed there by accident, and you would not have them if there was no purpose to them or you could not fulfil them in your life and that of others.

IGNORE those who tell you “no”, who say you “can’t” or “shouldn’t”, who have no idea who you are or what you are capable of, those who have let their own dreams fall to the wayside and have no belief or hope left inside them. Instead surge FORWARD, strive on, keep fighting, ensure constant progression towards your goals and dreams, utilizing the power of positive thought and reinforcement, surrounding yourself with people who SUPPORT your ambitions and understand the journey you have embarked upon.

NEVER let anyone tell you that you do not deserve something. NEVER let anyone discourage you from going after your dreams. NEVER let anyone deter you from the destiny that your heart wants for you, especially if INSTINCT and everything in you is screaming out for the FULFILMENT of your dream.

You DO deserve what you want. You DO have the power to make your dreams REALITY. You CAN do this, so OWN it, get out there and MAKE IT HAPPEN!

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

GO, LIVE LIFE

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.

SEE the world for what it is and then 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”, that life is a dream to be imagined and made REAL.

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 and promise.

EVERYthing has 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 as well.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

LIVE TO LOVE

Life is MORE than the mere passing of days, of time floating from one oblivion into the next, waiting until the final breath when we might pass from this world. It is MOMENTS that can make or break a soul, significant events that determine the course one will ultimately take, experiences that shape the heart into warmth or ice. Life for each one of us is very DIFFERENT, but for all of us it should have a PURPOSE – to MAKE a difference.

To make a difference you have to CARE; you have to LOVE. You have to love what you are doing with a passion greater than the voices of the naysayers and negative influences. You have to love the people you are trying to reach and share your life with, accepting them unconditionally for no one is perfect and everyone is going to disappoint you at some time or another. You have to be OPEN to others and reciprocal of ideas and needs, understanding that while a single soul CAN make a difference, MANY souls in accord with a single purpose and mission can achieve far greater impact.

Live your life as one of love and SERVICE to others. Not as a slave, but as a willing servant who realizes that value is not placed on what can be accumulated in worldly wealth, but in the part of you that you leave behind in the hearts and souls of those who your life crosses paths with.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

KEEP LOOKING UP

There are times in life when you ask yourself “WHY?” When you wonder for what purpose He could possibly want you where you are. When the blows of life fall one after the other without respite and you can barely draw breath. When the darkness creeps in closer and the circle of light seems to shrink around you.

It can easy in those times to forget His goodness and that He always has your BEST interests at heart, even if it might seem like He has abandoned you altogether. In those times YOU must be the one who makes the decision to stand strong and firm in your circle of light, facing the darkness coming. In those times remember all that has brought you here, and when you feel doubt, simply look UP.

Look up at the stars. All the darkness in the world cannot hide the light of the stars. All the stormclouds that try to swirl around you cannot take away the fact that beyond them twinkle millions of beacons of heat and light. All the tragedy and destruction that could ever be wrought will never erase the miracle and beauty of the stars.

Look up at the stars and imagine yourself running among them. Imagine yourself twinkling in the midnight hue, a light that gives light to other lights and helps push away the darkness that seeks to extinguish it. Imagine yourself as more than you are, as all you can BE. Imagine the world is at your fingertips and it is, for the power of your heart and mind and soul in sync is powerful indeed.

There are times when you feel like letting life go, but you don’t, because you know that it’s not over yet. You know that there’s more out there. You know your “mission” is not yet complete. And the secret that helps you keep going, that shines light onto your light, is looking UP. So when life gets you down take a moment and look up, let yourself just be still and KNOW.
