2013 | Day 32: YOUR 100%

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

YOUR 100%

Is your 100% REALLY your 100%? There are going to be days when your 100% is not going to be as much as it was on another. There will be days when your 100% will be far more energetic and enthusiastic. There will be days when your 100% will be absolutely amazing.

On the other hand, there will be days when you can barely drag yourself out of bed. There will be days when you are physically and mentally exhausted. There will be days when you do not want to be around other people. On those days, your 100% is going to be DIFFERENT to the days when you are a bubbly, bouncy personality who loves to be in a crowd.

It does NOT matter HOW you feel on any given day. As long as what you GIVE to that day in EFFORT in all that you do is your 100% on that day. Even on the days when you feel terrible, if you get up and you go to work, you smile and do the best you can with what you have in you, no one can ask for anything more. As long as you give your 100% on any given day, you have done what you can do.

2012 | Day 352: BEST DAYS

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

BEST DAYS

You may have had some AMAZING days in the past – days that will always be memories that you look back on with a smile in your soul. You may have had some UNFORGETTABLE days in the past – days that will forever be imprinted so deep on your heart that you will remember even at the most random of times. You may have had some BEAUTIFUL days in your past – days that made you feel so full of love and hope and joy that when you reminisce you can almost taste those feelings all over again.

But . . . The BEST days of your life are yet to COME!

There WILL be MORE amazing and unforgettable and beautiful days in your life . . . In your FUTURE. Those days are going to be even MORE wonderful than the ones you have ALREADY had. Not because they have yet to be, but because they hold PROMISE of the future, of what that future IS and will be. They give you something to look FORWARD to, even as you live in the NOW and allow yourself to be fully present in the experience of TODAY.

LIVE LIFE COMPLETELY . . .

2012 | Day 291: "TOO FAR"

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

"TOO FAR"

Life is not about playing it safe, living in a comfort zone. It is about taking risks, pushing the limits as much and as far as you can. For how can you ever know what it TRULY means to live if you limit yourself to living in a small square box, inside the lines that everyone else says you should stay within? You canNOT.

Those who dare greatly achieve greatly. They learn much about themselves and their strengths. They know what they are capable of and they are not afraid to push themselves further than before. They understand the risks but take them regardless. They realize that life is meant to be LIVED and experienced in its complete fullness, that there is far more out there than they could ever imagine, and that THEY are capable of far more than they might think or know in this moment.

Living life pushed to the limits, going “too far”, does not mean being foolish in it, but simply accepts that you do NOT accept limits on yourself, desiring only to strive further, reach higher, achieve greatly, being a “miracle”.

I live life on the edge, my body a living battleground. I’ve had a heart attack and yet refuse NOT to continue to push my body to exhaustion, training in all weather, on no sleep, when sick and knowing, looking at me, in no physical condition to be doing anything. I’ve collapsed multiples times during training, soldiered through the roughest times, determined not to let my physiological condition dictate what I can and cannot do, doing things others have told me I would never be able to do. I’ve suffered injuries and yet have come back from them stronger than ever and in less time than I was told it would take, taking a step further than the pain of returning to training, knowing that if I do NOT ask it of my body, I will never have it. I ALWAYS push the limits because I would rather take the risk than NEVER know.

What about YOU? How do YOU live your life?

2012 | Day 251: CHANGING YOUR THINKING

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

CHANGING YOUR THINKING

It’s a lot harder than it sounds, to change your thinking, for your thoughts are a culmination of years of processes, mountains of turmoil, lifetimes of pain and experience all moulding your mind, setting your beliefs and foundations for how you live your life and are, consciously and unconsciously, every little thing having an effect on our psyche. But you cannot change a BEHAVIOUR without FIRST changing the THOUGHT behind it, the motivating force pushing for that change, because no matter how much you WANT to change and be different, someone else, a new creature forged from fire and ice, you will never be completely anew unless you let GO of your old ways of thinking and embrace the NEW.

A negative person does not instantly become positive. An unhappy individual is not transformed by happiness overnight. Those who hate are not filled with love as if it were something they could merely purchase for the asking. It takes a lot of CONCENTRATED time AND effort to CHANGE oneself, especially if the changes sought are so drastic.

It takes a lifetime to UNlearn another lifetime of learning, lessons well taught, so deep that they are a part of yourself and to seek them out for destruction or replacement is difficult, for the mind may not want to let go of them, comfortable in its knowledge of those patterns, unwilling to harbour something different and unknown. But GROWTH comes with a price, and that price is the RELEASE of the old, sometimes things that have kept us going and allowed us to survive for so long, and if you are not prepared to make that sacrifice, even if it is going to make you BETTER, then only YOU will miss out on the blessings that await your new life.

It might take time, and sometimes that time is an eternity, but be PATIENT and PERSEVERE, for in the end you know the end result WILL be WORTH it, the effort and pain of change, the call to arms of encouragement and support in that change, and the journey that continues to mould you for the greater good. Change to make a DIFFERENCE, not just because you feel the “need” to, but when you NEED to.
