MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY


Life is not about playing it safe, staying inside four walls and never going outside of them, even for the smallest of seconds. Life is about living, experimenting, trying new things, opening up your mind and heart to the endless possibilities and wonder that lies in wait for each and every one of us.


Are there things we are apprehensive about? Absolutely – do them anyway! Are there things that might frighten us a little? Sure there are – don’t be afraid; step forward with your shoulders straight. Are there times when we are taking risks that might lash back on us with consequences we have no way of foreseeing? Definitely – take the risk anyway, because you never know; it might be the best thing you ever did, and one of the experiences you will never have wanted to miss out on in your life.


If you don’t step out and try, you will never know. If you close yourself off to the limitless possibilities that life has to offer and has waiting for you, then you are going to miss out on a lot of amazing opportunities. Don’t let that happen!

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY


THE WALL


A wall is nothing but an obstacle. And obstacles are always going to present whenever you are chasing your dreams. When one comes to a wall there are several types of people - those who hit the wall and STOP, those who climb OVER the wall, those who see the wall coming and go AROUND it, and those who just keep going right THROUGH the wall.


Those who hit the wall and stop are a great majority. Sadly, these are those who will NEVER achieve anything great in their life, because they are too afraid to take the risk or refuse to see the possibilities BEYOND the obstacles in their path. They are content to sit back and watch life, instead of being a PART of it. Ironically, these are also those who are the most likely to be the ones throwing stones and obstacles in the paths of those who ARE out there taking the risks and doing great things.


Those who climb over the wall are few. They REFUSE to believe that the wall is the end of their hopes and dreams, knowing that there is a way OVER every obstacle set before them. They are the thinkers, the doers, those who step out there and just do what it TAKES to get the task done. They are NOT afraid to fall, trying again and again if they do, because what they want is far greater than the obstacles.


Those who see the wall coming and go around it are also few. They are the ones who are always thinking, always analyzing, always looking AHEAD. They are aware that NOTHING is easy, that there will always be obstacles, and they ALREADY have a plan before they come to any obstacles on how to deal with them, so that they expend as little effort as possible, being as EFFICIENT in the pursuit of their goals as they can be.


Those who keep going right through the wall are rare. They are the ones who refuse to let ANYthing stop them from achieving their goals and dreams, determined to have them at any cost, driven with a passion understood only by like-minded souls, possessing immense strength of both mind and body, believing and having such faith in their heart that NOTHING can stop them. They will do WHATEVER it takes and make every sacrifice to see their dreams made reality, even if it means that they come close to destruction in the process.


I know what I AM; what I DO. What type of person are YOU?

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

GO CONFIDENTLY

Have CONFIDENCE in yourself and what you want to achieve. Believe that you CAN achieve it.

Confidence will take you places its lack will never be able to. It will open doors you might never have imagined. It will draw people to you in a way you never could without.

One with a dream is good. But one with a dream AND the confidence to put themselves out there for it is even better. And what makes that greater is the openness and willingness to RISK and SACRIFICE for that dream, for those who ACT on their dreams are those that can “change the world”.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE

Life is full of CHALLENGES. It is full of OBSTACLES. It is full of DISBELIEVERS. It is full of OPPOSITION. For every supporter you have, there is a hater. For every beautiful moment in time, there is a memory that crushes your soul. For every mountain climbed, there is a canyon to cross. For every star that is born and rises, there is another that falls from the heavens and dies in a blinding flash of light.

Do not allow the negatives in life to outweigh the POSITIVES. Do not let the moments of sadness overcome the incredible periods of HAPPINESS. Do not let the challenges prevent you from living life COMPLETELY.

LOVE life, no matter what happens. Love what you DO. Love the fact that every day is a NEW chance to start OVER. Love those who love you and never let a moment go by that is opportunity to let them KNOW how much they mean to you.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE. COMPLETELY.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

AMAZING THINGS

Sometimes we move through life so fast we do not give ourselves room to think, let alone breathe and “smell the roses”. Sometimes all the hustle is to cover up the fact that we are aching, the bustle to keep ourselves occupied from thinking. Sometimes we simply do not realize what we are doing until we suddenly stop for a moment and realize.

When we move so fast we can miss the things that are there for us, sometimes waiting, sometimes knocking on the glass, sometimes chasing after us, sometimes simply looking for the right moment. We might miss an opportunity we passed by so quickly we never even knew it was there. We might miss the stranger who could have become someone important given half a chance. We might miss what deep down we are truly seeking in keeping busy.

When we stop and allow our mind a moment of stillness we can hear that knocking, the pursuit, that little whisper inside telling us truths we might have been “running from”. We allow not just our mind rest, but our body too, allowing it opportunity to refresh as our soul renews. We can see what we’re doing to it and determine the steps to “right the wrong”.

Pausing, if only for what seems like a moment can be enough. It gives life a chance to “catch up” with the amazing things that it has been desirous of for you, the blessings He wants you to have, the opportunities that call for you alone. When you stop and rest you allow all the amazing things meant for you to finally reach you and when that happens, you can see your life start to change in new and different ways. Perhaps some you might not have thought to want or have again.

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

HERE NOW WITH THE POWER

You are NOT the person you were yesterday. You are not YET the person you will be tomorrow. You are here NOW, today, part of the old, to become the new, and have the power to CHOOSE what you will take with you from the past into your future.

You are HUMAN. You’ve made mistakes. You’ve got regrets. Welcome to life. The beauty of it is that you are not defined by your mistakes or regrets. You can move past those and embrace the promises and opportunities waiting for you to step INTO.

TODAY is up to you. Tomorrow today will become part of your past. It will be one step closer or one step further from where you want to be and the person you were meant to be. The choices you make, the memories you hold onto in your heart, the lessons you bring with you from the past, the experiences you allow to “shape” you, WILL mould you for tomorrow. Therefore, be wise in what you will and won’t allow, the battles you choose to fight and leave alone, the people you surround your heart and mind with, for it will all play part in the future.

You are what you ALLOW into your soul. You develop BECAUSE of your mistakes and regrets, the consequences that follow, the struggles that you battle. You want the darkness to ILLUMINATE the light, so that you come out BETTER than ever.

Your soul is the most PRECIOUS “thing” you have. It is your own and no one can make it into something YOU do not give permission for. Determine today WHO you want to be and filter in or out anything that has no role or purpose in that vision.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

DIFFICULTY CREATES OPPORTUNITY

Sometimes all you can see is what is going on NOW. You can so OVERWHELMED by your circumstances that you do not see the “good” in the bad, the “wonder” in the “heartache, the “opportunity” in the difficulty.

Roads to the best things in life are not always CLEAR. Sometimes they are fraught with devastation and destruction. Sometimes they are hidden behind obstacles and “road works”. Sometimes they are “over the hill” and out of sight. Sometimes they are disguised as “tests” that determine our true POTENTIAL.

Any time you find yourself in a difficult situation, no matter how small or large the situation, there is an OPPORTUINTY. That opportunity is for GROWTH. It can be mental, physical, psychological, or spiritual, but all intended for one purpose: To make you BETTER.

Every difficulty IS an opportunity to see what you are made OF, to perceive if you have what it TAKES to succeed at what you want in life, to determine the STRENGTH of your desire for the dreams you harbour in your soul, to know if you are on the “right” path to BECOMING.

“Becoming” is a CONSTANT journey, a perpetual purpose that you can spend lifetimes trying to fulfill. And lifetimes it WILL take, as many as is required to create a soul worthy of the potential bestowed upon it. Opportunity knocks on the door of that potential in EVERY difficulty, to see if it will answer, or be discovered and USED.

Sometimes it takes those overwhelming circumstances to see the path ahead, your next step, and to UNDERSTAND just how blessed you truly are. USE your difficulty to make you STRONGER and BETTER than ever.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

FOLLOW YOUR BLISS

Your “bliss” is your PASSION. It is where your heart truly lies. It is the path your SOUL wants to take. It is that inner instinct “guiding” you in the direction of your DREAMS.

Dreams are not meant to be JUST dreams. They are placed on your heart for a reason, no matter how inexplicable or illogical or “impossible” they might seem at any moment.

Dreamers are not alone in their dreaming, but you have to TAKE the risk and plunge out into the UNKNOWN. It is taking that FIRST step of faith that will “open” up the path before you. Once you’re out on that glass ledge looking out over an endless black chasm, seeing no way across and you walk out anyway, you find that there is solidity beneath your feet, an invisible bridge stretching out through the ether, the darkness parting way before you as you approach, making the way clearer and clearer, the night sky above you beginning to twinkle tiny lights like beacons to follow.

The more you TRUST yourself, the belief in your dreams UNshakeable, following your bliss wherever it leads, the more you will see the universe “work” WITH you. Opportunities will open up before you.

Your bliss can lead you further than you might imagine if you follow it. It can take you to worlds and give you adventures beyond your wildest imaginings. All you have to do is FOLLOW it.

2012 | Day 366: A NEW YEAR

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

A NEW YEAR

The end of an era is coming to a CLOSE. It is time for a New Year to begin – to TURN the page on this chapter of life and start AFRESH. It is a time to see the ENDLESS possibilities stretched before you, the miracles just waiting for you to bring them ABOUT, the accomplishments with YOUR name already on them.

It is a New Year – a time of INFINITE possibilities and wonder, when you can RECREATE yourself and start over. It is time to begin to become the person you ALWAYS wanted to be, because you HAVE the power to, everything within you to be who you are MEANT to be. It is time to DECIDE who you ARE.

A New Year gives you opportunity to set out everything BEFORE you – before it is already half-way over and you wonder where the time has gone. It allows you to design a BLUEPRINT of what you want your life to BE and where you want it to GO. It shows you what needs to be done, to think about what TRULY matters.

A New Year is a time of CELEBRATION – passing of the old as you step INTO the new. It is a time to take hold of your destiny and determine your FUTURE, set rolling the ACTIONS that will have a domino effect in your life for either positive or negative. Choose to move FORWARD and become BETTER.

2012 | Day 294: WHAT YOU SEEK

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

WHAT YOU SEEK

You may not be aware that you are seeking something, but you ARE - your heart is, your soul, your mind, for something MORE than the life you are living and who you are living it with. What you do not realize is that what you unconsciously seek is ALREADY out there, waiting for you to find it, seeking YOU in turn, to bring that completion to your life, fill the emptiness in your heart that you might never even have known you had until it IS filled.

What you seek you may not yet have admitted to yourself, not wanting it to be a part of you, having never felt that desire before and it scares you to know it exists in some crevice of your soul. You HAVE to acknowledge it SOMEtime, for it will never go away, digging itself in a little deeper, until one day you will NOT be able to ignore it and have to face it, coming to terms with the fact that you are only human, not the “rock island” as you have always been.

When you finally admit that you seek that other piece of your soul, you OPEN up opportunities for it to be found, for it cannot be discovered, even if it is right there in FRONT of you, if your heart is not open to its possibility. When you know what it is you are missing, what your soul seeks, you become something more, because you open your heart. When your HEART’S eyes are opened, what you see becomes different, something else altogether, and you realize that you have been living only HALF a life.

Half a life is NO life at all, even if you are “content” with it. Life is for LIVING, not for being “satisfied” or played “safe”, because you are scared of what might happen if you allow someone in or something to happen. Life is a MIRACLE, a beautiful blessing, and you deserve to be blessed, to be HAPPY. Happiness will come when you open your heart to what He has waiting for you, the gifts you might never have wanted, the unexpected surprises that suddenly become everything as you find your heart SMILING.

2012 | Day 217: DECIDE YOUR LIFE!

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

Every Day is a Decision

Every day is an endless decision of opportunities waiting for us. Whether we make the “right” decision rests entirely on us, and we can blame no one but ourselves if we discard the path that would lead us to the success we desire. We can choose to step out and grab a hold of those opportunities, making the most of them, seeing where they lead. Or we can sit back, oblivious to them, waiting for something to happen TO us, instead of going out there and MAKING our own reality.

Life waits for NOBODY. If you let those opportunities pass you by, if you ignore them or are too blind to see them, then they WILL pass to someone else - someone who DOES want them and will make the most of them.

You have two choices in life. LIVE it. Or just be IN it. I know what I would rather do. What about you? Are you ready to go after your dreams today, to make the MOST of your life, so that you achieve and be everything you want and know you can be? If you know that you are, then GO OUT AND DO IT AND LET NOTHING HOLD YOU BACK!
