Our lifetime is made up of many journeys. Journeys that make and break us, shape and mould us, past and present determining what we shall become in the future, the most important of all that of our soul, the path to spiritual enlightenment, the metamorphosis of our innermost core as we traverse the journeys of life. Each journey we take in the physical has spiritual ramifications and often affect us far more than what the world can see, turning our souls inside out, upside down, twisting and contorting it until we are not sure we will ever be able to recognize ourselves when we come out the other side of the purging fire.
Each journey we take and every person we cross paths with leaves a footprint on our soul, teaching us valuable lessons and to show us how significant we are in the fabric of the universe. Love and loss, success and tragedy, ecstasy and pain, are all tools of the world to touch us, to create the destiny of our souls, the tumultuous journey that will leave us tempered like the rarest and most beautiful of diamonds, born of the greatest pressure and heat, crushed beyond life itself and shining forth a brilliant light from an indomitable spirit.
With strength and purity of heart we will survive anything, our soul’s journey one that is never-ending, each step one step closer to becoming the highest being and ultimate version of us that we can aspire to.

CRIMSON [FIRE] GODDESS


Embrace the fire.
Hell is your purifier,
flames the change
lighting your path,
reforging your heart
through the pain,
crimson stain glow
seeping to gold
weeping through your veins
altering your soul,
perception now enlightened,
your inner goddess awakened,
new power stirred,
strength found and grasped
in the heat
of passion that
sets you alight,
brighter than ever
in this world's darkness.
Darkness and light,
hell and heaven,
death and life,
destruction and growth,
pain and beauty,
you all at once.
Embrace it all.

The highs, then lows, before the depths, the falling... seemingly endless falling... through the darkness, a vortex of black, not knowing when it will stop, or even if there is a bottom to be reached... a recurring dream since childhood, where you are just falling and falling and falling, through time and the black... BUT... It is just a dream, even as it is not a dream, and all dreams eventually come to an end, when we open our eyes, when we awaken... when we still ourselves enough to come back to our soul to see the blur between dream and nightmare and know both are the same, just different perspective of energy and vision... AND... we know that we can fall up too, maybe not as fast as we fall down, but we can, and we do... and we will rise past everything that we have seen or known as we fell, to a place beyond the point where we fell from... SO... keep going, my friend, dark to night, until night becomes day, that day turns to light... for the strength of your heart to hold onto hope, no matter the circumstances, is a light on its own, and you never know what difference it might make to who or where in your dark... keep a hold on your heart, for your soul, for its power.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

PARADISE


Heaven is not about a place. Home is not about a place. It never has been or ever will be. It is about what makes your soul sing, where it rests in complete peace, moments and memories, connections and companionship that give your heart a smile. It is where you are at ease, like you have always belonged in the landscape you stand in, the natural beauty of the essence around you amplifying the soul within.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

STRENGTH

Strength isn’t about power or might. Sometimes strength is simply smiling at another when you don’t “have” a smile or just being there to listen when you’re exhausted and want to do anything but. Strength is not always “seen”, but it is always FELT and you never know who is observing.

You might never know it, but YOU could change someone’s life. You could be the catalyst for them looking into the mirror and searching deep and asking themselves what they truly want out of life. You could be the one they look up to and aspire to “be like”, because they see what you do and know a little of your story. You could be a “reason” in their life that inspires them to become BETTER.

It might not seem like you are being strong sometimes, but what is and what is seen are not always the same thing, and people are so very influenced by impressions, even when they come to learn the “truth”, and sometimes the truth makes them take a few steps back and think and “see” more.

When it feels like you have none, draw on Him. There is a never-ending supply of strength and grace waiting for us if we just ask for it. In the times when we don’t feel strong or want to be, then it is time to let His power be the strength we need. Remember, STILL being here, is strength and you never know what that means or “tells” others and the impact that a single ripple can make.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

BY FAITH

By faith GREAT things can be done. For all great things start as a DREAM. And for a dream to manifest as reality it has to be BELIEVED that it can BE. It has to be believed BEFORE it can be seen. It has to be believed, and to be believed there has to be FAITH in the soul and heart and mind of the one holding the dream.

By faith MIRACLES are created. For all miracles are called thus because they are feats deemed “impossible”. Yet they happen. Daily. They happen because there are those who REFUSE to accept that nothing is NOT possible and strive to attain that which others dare not even reach for. They BELIEVE in something more powerful than simple action. They have FAITH.

By faith we LIVE. Life continues to hold HOPE and possibility, beauty and MAGIC. There are wonders waiting to be experienced, journeys waiting to be taken, love waiting to be found and treasured, precious moments waiting to become priceless memories. Everything is out there, seen AND unseen, held on faith that it exists for US.

By faith. We were. We are. We will be. Breath. Hope. Life. Everything. “The substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” By faith we live and aim for our “perfection”, the culmination of purpose and passion as we become everything we desire and were always meant to BE.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

PAST AND FUTURE

Yes, you have a past – we all do, and whether it was not the most stellar, was completely memorable, or was noteworthy doesn’t make it any less real or special. Your past is where you have come FROM and does not indicate where you are GOING; it does not control who and what you BECOME – that is all on YOU. YOU determine your future; you determine what events you set in motion to eventuate or come to fruition at a later date – the ACCOUNTABILITY lies with YOU.

Your past tells the story of where you have BEEN, of the strength and power of your convictions and beliefs, highlighting the path that has moulded you to this point – for some it’s extreme; for others it is simply waking up to realize what life is truly about; for others it is about testing themselves and pushing boundaries. For you to be where you are right now, you should have a sense of PRIDE that you have OVERCOME your past, not allowing it to determine your POTENTIAL and SUCCESS.

There is power in the past – IF we let it, for it is what has gone before and not what is to be. There is power in the present – in the POTENTIAL for the future, in the hope and faith in our hearts. There is power in the future – in the PROMISE of what lies ahead, the DIFFERENCE we can make, and even the successful should not be complacent, for the journey is not yet over, the path ahead unknown, to be determined, what we MAKE of it.

2012 | Day 316: THE POWER OF YOUR SOUL

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

THE POWER OF YOUR SOUL

There is GREAT POWER in your soul. There is FAR MORE than you could ever possibly imagine hidden down in the depths of your soul. There is MAGIC WAITING to be released into the world and create the most wondrous experiences. There is such capacity FOR LOVE that we are so often not aware of until someone awakens in us the secret desire for it.

Even when a soul has suffered the greatest tragedies and been through the most terrible destruction, it has the power to pick itself UP and see the BEAUTY in life, that they are still ALIVE and have LEARNT so much, know the extent to which they can fall and not let themselves be completely destroyed, still having FORGIVENESS in their heart to let go and KEEP GOING.

There is MORE POWER in your soul than you can ever dream of. There are more DREAMS in your soul than you will ever know of, just waiting for the right time, the right moment, the right person to creep inside your heart and bring about their discovery. There is so much POTENTIAL in your soul, that when you have been through what you have and known what you do, loved the ones who brought your world crashing down around you, and then found your soul carried gently in the arms of one who seeks to protect you, you allow it to be RELEASED, given room to GROW and BLOSSOM.

ALWAYS be grateful, thankful for the people in your life, especially those of the past who have taught you so much and caused so much pain, for withOUT that your soul would never have been opened to the WONDER that is WAITING for you, the FREEDOM of the life you were MEANT to live and love, and the one who you now find walking BESIDE you.

OTHER NOTES

Sleep: Late nights and only sleeping a few hours, but had some of the deepest and most peaceful sleep I've had in a long time during the latter half of this week.

Mood: Ups and downs, as usual, but NOT letting anything take away my joy or smile!

Energy: Light-headedness has continued a lot this week, occurring at the most random of times, which is a little concerning but not too much. Have had high energy for the most part.

Stress: I have been able to relax a lot more than I ever cold - it's a wonderful feeling

Concentration: Week has not been as busy, even though it has, and concentration has been high.

Body Composition: 8% bodyfat - maintained for the third week in a row! Loving it and showing that I CAN, despite eating chocolate cake every night and not really sticking to the Lean Gains very well this week re 16-hour fast/8-hour feeding window (only a few days at this, the rest more the other way around)! Also 106.4 pounds - the lightest I have been in a while. Girths are changing ever so slightly, and I can see the peak and separation in my biceps better than ever, which is great.

Quality of Training: Shoulders have been suffering, but wrists have been ok. Training has continued to be less than Maintenance, but different, and so far it has continued to allow me to make progress, which has been interesting, and I shall continue on with this for a while longer.

Joints: Shoulders still painful, alternating between left and right re intensity of pain many days.

Nutrition: Not the best, but have felt ok this week.

Supplements: Started back on Erase and Alpha-2 again on Tuesday.

Overall Sense of Feeling: I am HAPPY! God has Blessed me in a way I never thought He would. My soul is so very relaxed and I have a sense of peace that others have commented on the difference and gradual changes that have been seen in me over the last few weeks. It has been something not seen in a lifetime, but very welcome, and I plan on holding onto it as long as possible!

2012 | Day 283: YOU HAVE THE POWER

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

YOU HAVE THE POWER

If you want something in your life, YOU have to go AFTER it. If you want something to change, YOU have to MAKE it happen. YOU have to DO it. YOU have to create your OWN future. YOU have the power to determine your DESTINY.

DELIGHT in the Blessings that have been given to you. OPEN your heart and allow people in. ACCEPT that people change and that sometimes it is time to let them go to allow something better to become. TAKE the chance because it might become something more precious than you ever imagined. NEVER settle for less than what you deserve.

If life is not the way you desire it to be, KNOW what you want and then take the necessary steps to MAKE it your REALITY. You have always had the POWER and you always WILL. If you want something to CHANGE, you have to be the one to INITIATE that change. YOU have to be the one to see it THROUGH. You have to be the one to take RESPONSIBILITY for creating the OPPORTUNITY for your life to evolve and move to the NEXT level.

You should constantly be HUNGRY to become BETTER, never “settling” but always striving to BE the change you want to see. Although you never want to be “satisfied” to stay in one place, happiness is always there is you allow it to be, so enjoy the time you have and the people you have in it, and never take a moment for granted, even if you are not yet where and who you want to be. Life is a mountain that you NEVER stop climbing, but there are always plateaus along the way where you can pause and just ENJOY it, knowing how far you have come. Then you look UP and know that you can choose to stay where you are or keep ON climbing, the choice to continue all on YOU.

Take RESPONSIBILITY for your life. Accept the CHALLENGE to always climb higher. Determine to make your life what YOU want it to be. Know that the POWER to change lies with you. It’s all on YOU.

TRAINING

Monday: HIIT Run

Tuesday: Arms/Abs

Wednesday: HIIT Run

Thursday: Full-Body

Friday: HIIT Run + Shoulders/Arms/Abs

Saturday: [First Leg] Men's Health [Chicago] Urbanathlon

Sunday: Day OFF

OTHER NOTES

Sleep: Been falling asleep almost as soon as I get to bed this last week, my body sleeping for 5-6 hours before waking, no alarms necessary, when I need to (and sometimes before, LOL). No "sleep-in" this week - not unless you count the 0315 waking this morning!

Mood: Throughout all the stress and recovery and pain, it has actually been pretty good this week - I am starting to come alive again and I love it!

Energy: I've been a non-stop machine from waking to passing out each day. Could feel my energy waning sometimes, but nothing a few chocolate truffles or something silly did not fix

Concentration: Has had to be there all week, and has been too - got a lot done (and a lot more to do!)

Body Composition: 8.3% bodyfat - so lost 0.2% bodyfat, which is ok considering the lack of training this week (AND all the eating). My delts and arms are definitely getting better re definition (maybe it's the pain?), arms full throughout the day.

Quality of Training: HIIT Runs are close to being back up to speed, doing 28-32 sprints during them. Resistance training has suffered a lot this week, because my delts are so sore - right IN the joint, especially my left, feeling the same way my right did last December before I woke up one morning and could NOT move it, so have tried to do what I could without trying to make things worse, although during Friday's session I literally had to PUSH my left arm up with my right because it was so painful and limited re active range of motion. Have not done any post-weights cardio, which I notice the difference with. Feeling a lot better with my training though, despite all the "setbacks". Saturday's training was a 4.2 mile obstacle run in Chicago, which was a lot of fun (and I definitely want to do MORE of such events)!

Joints: Shoulders have been MURDER. Sharp and constant pain in BOTH, left more than right. The pain has been affecting a few daily activities, but pushing through it, trying to minimize aggravating movement. Left wrist has also been acting up and I actually strapped it up some this week.

Nutrition: Still been with 12-hour fast/12-hour feeding window, eating a lot of "junk" amidst the "clean", but fairly ok for the most part. Feeling better limiting foods I am sensitive to, and will continue on with this, since my HEALTH demands it. Only had a couple of days where I've drunk enough water, so got to get back to my 4.5 litres minimum daily.

Overall Sense of Feeling: I am discovering that some of the dreams and desires laid on and uncovered in my heart this year are STILL there. It gives hope and birth to light, the opening of my soul for something I had closed myself off from [after everything that has happened]. I have found my smile again and it is REAL. There is so much MORE to life than what we see or think we know! Even though it is a learning process, I am keeping myself OPEN to the future that is being created, knowing that although it is not the one I had PLANNED, it will be so much better than anything I could ever have possibly imagined, because He keeps my soul close and only wants for me everything I have the potential to be and do and affect.

2012 | Day 259: WHAT YOU WANT

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!

2012 | Day 258: WHEN MIRACLES HAPPEN

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

WHEN MIRACLES HAPPEN

You have to TRULY want something, but not JUST want it, BELIEVE that you CAN do it and then do EVERYTHING possible to MAKE it happen, for something to become REAL, YOUR reality instead of just a dream or a fantasy, a want or desire that you see only in your mind or heart. You have to TRULY be prepared to give and do EVERYTHING possible to make it come TRUE. You have to TRULY make the decision that you ARE going to PURSUE your heart no matter the cost and sacrifices that are going to be asked of you along the way. You have to TRULY be ENGAGED in the journey, hold yourself ACCOUNTABLE and accept ALL responsibility, to make the DIFFERENCE required, to equip yourself with the POWER you need to make it HAPPEN.

When you TRULY want it, BELIEVE you can, are PREPARED for what is to come, and are living FULLY in every MOMENT of the journey you have determined to set upon, you are READY to open a NEW chapter of your life, ready to embrace the NEW, ready to step OUT and into the wonders that are waiting for you, the MIRACLES that have been waiting for you to open your mind and heart and soul to RECEIVE, to be BLESSED beyond what you could ever imagine or wish for. When you are TRULY ENGAGED in the experience and are LIVING, miracles HAPPEN, and they happen to YOU.

All of life is a miracle and YOU are one in it, but your heart has to be OPEN to SEE it, and it can only be open when you TRULY BELIEVE and DECIDE to CREATE your OWN DESTINY.

2012 | Day 257: PAST AND FUTURE

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

PAST AND FUTURE

Yes, you have a past – we all do, and whether it was not the most stellar, was completely memorable, or was noteworthy doesn’t make it any less real or special. Your past is where you have come FROM and does not indicate where you are GOING; it does not control who and what you BECOME – that is all on YOU. YOU determine your future; you determine what events you set in motion to eventuate or come to fruition at a later date – the ACCOUNTABILITY lies with YOU.

Your past tells the story of where you have BEEN, of the strength and power of your convictions and beliefs, highlighting the path that has moulded you to this point – for some it’s extreme; for others it is simply waking up to realize what life is truly about; for others it is about testing themselves and pushing boundaries. For you to be where you are right now, you should have a sense of PRIDE that you have OVERCOME your past, not allowing it to determine your POTENTIAL and SUCCESS.

There is power in the past – IF we let it, for it is what has gone before and not what is to be. There is power in the present – in the POTENTIAL for the future, in the hope and faith in our hearts. There is power in the future – in the PROMISE of what lies ahead, the DIFFERENCE we can make, and even the successful should not be complacent, for the journey is not yet over, the path ahead unknown, to be determined, what we MAKE of it.

2012 | Day 247: STOP WITH EXCUSES

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

You ARE capable of achieving your goals. You HAVE the ability to succeed within you. You have the POWER to accomplish whatever you set your mind to. The only one holding you back is YOU.

STOP making excuses for yourself. STOP allowing yourself the “easy” way out. STOP saying “I can’t do this because...” STOP blaming someone else for why you are not there yet. STOP shifting the accountability away from yourself.

If you have not yet accomplished your goal and you HAVE had the time, then you have no one to look at but YOU for it. No one else is responsible for it but YOU.

So STOP holding yourself back. STOP with excuses. Just get out there and DO it!

2012 | Day 236: I AM ONE

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

I AM ONE

We are all only one part of life, one of many billions of people on the planet. The number one is a small, solitary number. It can be a common thought that “one” cannot achieve much, that it is INsignificant, but NOTHING is insignificant and ONE individual CAN make a difference - whether that difference is merely only to a single other or reaches out far beyond the scope of imagining.

There are many things that we cannot do simply because we ARE one. But there are also many things that we CAN do as one. Knowing the difference between them is a part of accomplishing great things - you must know when to “team up” and when you can go at it alone.

Even teaming up with another or a group of others, when the vision you share is mutual, for the greater good, IS making a difference. But the vision of ONE is nothing to be taken lightly either, for the vision of one can sometimes make the MOST difference - you just have to make sure that the difference is a POSITIVE and EMPOWERING one.

Therefore, NEVER UNDERestimate the power of who you are, what you say and what you do. You never know who might be listening or watching and what impact you will have on them, on their LIVES - nor the subsequent impact that THEY can have on another.

2012 | Day 208: NO MORE ERROR!

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.
