MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

OBSTACLES

The world is full of things and people who want to bring you DOWN. It loves to throw chaos in our path and watch us stumble and fall. It takes delight in seeing what destruction it can cause.

Therefore, do not allow YOURSELF to become one of those things. There are too many other issues to deal with without making you a reason for falling. Instead, you should be STRENGTHENING yourself, trusting your soul, believing your instinct, seeing your heart, and questioning your mind, so that you become something that STANDS against everything else.

You have it within you to CONQUER. You have been through a lot and you will go through a lot more before your life ceases breath. Use your experiences and what you have learnt to “guide” yourself through the next obstacle and the next. Let them become a POSITIVE tool, an asset that, while you did not appreciate it back then, you are glad for now.

Life is difficult. NO one gets off lightly. But we can all determine HOW we come up against the difficulties thrown at us. We can either work our way through them, tears and sweat and blood, or we can become a PART of them and make it that much harder. Do NOT become a part of the tests life hurls at you. Be part of the SOLUTION. Know that you ARE stronger than you think if you just search that deep.

You CAN overcome. You WILL overcome. You just have to BELIEVE and see. You have to KEEP faith that even through difficulties life holds much BEAUTY to find a smile in.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

THE HARDEST THING

The things that are going to make the MOST change in your life are the things that are going to be the HARDEST to do. They’re also going to require the most RISK and cause the most HEARTACHE. They will fill your heart with happiness, whilst at the same time dripping tears down your soul. It might be hard to LET GO, but it is HARDER to hold onto something that is not meant to be. Life is meant for LIVING, so even if it means saying GOOD-BYE to something you love more than life itself, to HEAL your soul sometimes you MUST.

If you have to, cry yourself to sleep at night and put on a SMILE for everyone in the morning, so that they don’t know any different, and go about your life in a way that MAKES a DIFFERENCE in others’ lives. It hurts when the one you love the most loves you back, but is too afraid to take the risk you would give your life for in a heartbeat, and sometimes the only way to hide that pain is to do your best to help ease the pain of OTHERS.

It may not make any SENSE, but in the end the pieces will all come together for you to see the BIGGER picture, and everything will be CLEARER than ever. You might NOT want to do it, but you might HAVE to, in order to prevent regret from letting the pain of it all stop you from living as you were MEANT to, depriving your LIGHT and INFLUENCE from the world. Do not let your hurts prevent you from helping heal the hurts of others.

Do not let your pain cloud your heart and shut all POSSIBILITY out. Do not think that it is over, because there is so much MORE out there for you, so much BEAUTY, so many BLESSINGS, so much more than you could ever have IMAGINED, all just WAITING for you to open your arms and EMBRACE it, ACCEPT it, and just let it HAPPEN.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

DON'T GIVE UP NOW

Now is NOT the time to give up. Not when you have come this FAR. Not when you have fought so HARD for your heart and soul, future and dreams. Not when you have begun to UNDERSTAND your world and have learnt so much, tried beyond all effort previously given, investing EVERYthing that you are in WHERE you are now and WHO you stand with.

NOW is not the time to give up. There is NEVER a time to give up. Not on THIS. Not on the LIFE your heart wants more than anything now that it knows it is more than just a dream, the dream your mind now believes in for YOU, the PEACE your soul has craved for a lifetime and now has experienced. Not on your FUTURE.

Life will never be easy always and you have to EXPECT that. It does not mean that just because there are difficulties to overcome that your dream/s are not meant to be, for they are not placed in your heart without PURPOSE. When life gets tough, that’s when you fight HARDER, hold on longer and tighter, and give it even more than you ever thought possible, to KEEP what is so PRECIOUS to your soul.

Life will always hold CHOICES for you to pick. Make sure the choices you make will not cause REGRET come the end of your time. Make sure the path that you walk does NOT cause an ache that will last until that end. Make sure that if something is so precious to you, you live for it with ALL that you are and hold NOTHING back, so that when all is said and done, you have NO regrets.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

SUPERSIZE, NOT SHRINK

Your DREAMS are the MOTIVATION of your SOUL. Do NOT “shrink” them for ANYONE, no matter WHAT. Care NOT about the opinions of others on whether or not your dreams are “for” you. YOU decide your dreams and no one else, for your dreams are YOUR soul speaking to you, and when your soul speaks, you had better LISTEN.

NEVER give up your dreams for the vision of another. Never let GO of your dreams because it might seem like the world is against them. Dreams are placed in your heart for a reason; they are a part of your soul for a PURPOSE, and if you DON’T follow them, you are going to miss OUT on something INCREDIBLE.

When the world says “nay”, “supersize” your DETERMINATION. Gather your strength and “supersize” your COURAGE. Take heart in your ABILITIES and know that whatever obstacles you may come up against, you DO have within you the power to OVERCOME it.

Never give UP your dreams for the world. NEVER let go of your dreams because someone else thinks you should have a different dream and live your life heading in another direction. Never “shrink” your dreams and allow them to become a shadow because you get lost in striving to achieve someone ELSE’S dream.

Instead, LIVE your OWN dream. Reach for the STARS in your OWN soul. “Supersize” your soul and know that if you have a dream inside that you canNOT let go of, you have the backing of the greatest of them all, and HE keeps His promises, faithful to those who stay true to their purpose.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

ORDINARY TO EXTRAORDINARY

All of us are born a masterpiece and yet we are all “ordinary”. When we open our eyes for the first time, we might have an amazing destiny “planned” for us, but we have yet to step into that destiny, for it is determined based on the choices we make throughout our lifetime. Prince or pauper, when we come into this life we are the SAME. We are helpless and weak, reliant on others to “guide” us on our life’s journey.

As we get older this CHANGES. We can either choose to STAY as we are, or we can rise above what happens to us, for circumstances are not always easy and this world is cruel, determined to take each one of us and wear us down until we are nothing but dust. Those who REFUSE to let themselves be overcome by the “plague” of the world and fight back, digging in their heels and pushing back against the forces of “darkness” coming at them, taking a stand, are those who “transform” from “ordinary” into “EXTRAordinary”.

You become “extraordinary” by taking CONTROL of your fate, by determining your destiny YOURSELF, instead of letting the world “dictate” what and who you should be. The world is going to do all it can to “test” you, to put you in the most destructive circumstances, to see if it can break you and leave you bleeding on the cold, stone pavement for all to trample over as they pass. The “ordinary” who look inside themselves and find something GREATER than where they find themselves become something else altogether as they “transcend” their circumstances.

All of us are born “ordinary”, with the POTENTIAL to become “extraordinary”, a “masterpiece” on the walls of time, for others to look up to as an example of how life should be lived, how hardship can be conquered and that what happens to us does not determine our destiny. Hardships, the burdens the world tries to sink us beneath, are all there to see WHO will rise above it and become those “extraordinary” leaders that others emulate and follow.

So no matter where you find yourself, no matter what your past has been like, no matter what you have seen and done, know that you can CHOOSE to use it all to make you into a “higher’ being, a better version of you as strength is sought and found, willpower is caught and caged, determination and passion are unleashed alongside each other in your “fight” against the world, in your “battle” for life.

All of us are ordinary masterpieces. Some of us stay as we are and some of us “evolve” into something else altogether. What do you WANT to be? What will you CHOOSE to be?
