MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

Every time you “fail” is NOT a failure. It is an OPPORTUNITY for something “better”. It is a “chance” for you to CHANGE yourself and the world around you. It is a time to “look” deeper WITHIN you. It is moment for REFLECTION.

You might cry. You might scream. You might get hurt. You might be destroyed. But you also might LEARN. You also might begin to truly SEE. You might start to UNDERSTAND your soul. You might REALIZE your “true” dreams and heart.

Every time you fall down, no matter how far or how deep you fall, there is ALWAYS a way back up. It might take days, weeks, years, and be the hardest thing you ever do, but it CAN be done. EVERY setback, no matter how large or small, is God’s way of giving you a SECOND chance. It is your time to “begin” AGAIN...the dawn of a NEW “spring”... YOU are in control. YOU hold the pen that covers the pencil engraved already on the pages of your life. YOU create your fate with the decisions you make. YOU determine your path with the consequences of your actions and your response to them.

STOP looking at being “knocked down” as the end. See it instead as the chance to rise. See yourself as the phoenix rising from the ashes of your past life and stepping into the NEW. You are a “new” creature, the same as before, but NOT the same, wise with your past experience, beautiful with your past pain, and open to the future from everything that has transpired to this point, knowing that you have not gone through everything you have for NOTHING.

Every setback is preparing you for a COMEBACK, allowing the world to see and know a BETTER you, someone who is “of” the past, but not of the past. Transforming with deliberation, you a creature that has been tempered in the fires of hell, then moulded with the hands of God. A beautiful “creation” that brings Him glory.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY


FRESH START

There is hope at the start of every dawn. Light spreading its way through the world and your heart. Faith infused in your soul believing in the future. Gratitude overflowing from that deep and secret place inside so far down no one else can see it. For what you have been given. A new day. Another chance. A fresh start.


Be thankful that He deemed you worthy of such a gift. That He is not the only one who has forgiven your transgressions. Waste not every opportunity that comes your way to show how much you care. To show how much you love. To leave no room for doubt of your devotion.


Let the hope that rises with the sun stay with you far after the sun has set. Let it linger in the depths of your soul. Let it surprise you with its joy. Let the quiet comfort it affords breathe calmness in your spirit. Let it help your mind relax. Let it keep the light of life alive inside.


After the darkness of a night without stars comes the most beautiful of dawns. Turn your face to the sun and let its warmth seep through your being. Soak up the beauty of its aura. Capture the promise of its magnificence. Remember always the joy it gives to your heart and never let it go.


Use the new day that you have been given. To do all that you can. Leave nothing on the table. Give it everything you’ve got. Be thankful for everything He has blessed you with. Be thankful for everything He has given back that was taken away. Be thankful that you took the risk and flew. Now fly higher than you ever have before!

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


BRAND NEW END


Everyone starts somewhere. Everyone travels their own journey. Everyone veers off the path at some point and ends up in a completely different place than they intended. That’s ok. It’s human. It’s to be expected. You might not be in the place you desired to be when you started your journey, but just because you are not there yet does NOT mean that you cannot ever be. We all get lost and we all struggle. It’s a part of life and no one is immune to it.


None of us can go back and start over again from the starting point we initially began at. But we can start over from where we are NOW. We can start our journey from here and go forward in a new direction. We can create a different story from this point. We can determine a different end. We can choose the footprints our life makes on the sands of time.


We all have a beginning. And we all have an end. The final end may not be the end we envisioned when we began. Nor might we have been able to foresee the course life might have taken us through to get there. Yet we are where we are now, through chance or fate or deliberate decision, and where we go from here is a CHOICE.


YOU make the choice in the present on where your life will lead. You decide through your thoughts that lead to your actions how you will live. You started somewhere that is true. And where you initially began might now have been something you had control over. But you have control now, and you choose where you will end up. You choose the dream that will become the reality you eventually make.

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

DEAR GOD, THANK YOU

For what has BEEN – I might not have completely understood it at the time, but I do now, knowing it was NECESSARY to bring me to this point. For the experiences given – without which my soul would not have been changed that my heart would be able to be open enough to share, and in the sharing be able to touch lives in ways I might not have been able to before, making room for more difference to be made and a hand that would never before have been offered to be given. For the intertwining threads – the souls allowed to touch mine have marked me far more than they will ever know, impacted me more than anyone might ever see, created strength that can be sensed by those who have known me, changed me in both beauty and pain but ultimately for the BETTER.

For transforming my SOUL – I will always be what I was, but not what I was as I move FORWARD through life, living and learning, the old ways of survival still would work but now not what I want to use, knowing their weaknesses and taking only their strengths with me into the future I am walking into; having fallen and risen, broken and rebuilding, lived and died and been reborn for the second time, an even newer and wiser creature emerging from the flames, not the Terminator I started out as or the Warrior I became, but an Angel of neither white or black; standing alone but not alone, the integral fundamentals unchanged even as everything is changed.

For EVERYTHING that is – TRANSFORMING my soul as it needed and needs to be, so that I can be everything that I need and should be, so that I can do and be everything I am meant to; all of it for Your glory, proof that prayers do get answered and miracles do exist, the lost can be found and the hardest of hearts made soft, walls can be broken down and ice can be melted, blank masks can become genuine smiles as life continues and opens up before me; stepping forward in faith across the invisible bridge over the chasm below.

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

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

PEACE WITH THE PAST

You cannot truly move forward until you have let GO of the past. You cannot truly begin to heal until you have accepted what has happened and given yourself room and time to grieve over any loss. You cannot live fully in the present if you are still dwelling in the shadows of the past.

If you do nothing else, FORGIVE yourself. Give yourself a CHANCE. Open your eyes and clear your foggy mind so that you can break FREE from the bonds you are unconsciously placing on yourself. Give yourself the GIFT of being completely in the present.

Let yourself be here and NOW. Let your soul be CALM in this moment. Let your mind be still and know that only TRUTH now resides there. And that truth is that your spirit is at PEACE with who you are and where you are and the journey that has brought you here.

ALLOW yourself to experience life in all its wonder and glory. Allow yourself to believe that such beauty was intended for YOU. Allow yourself to breathe in the FRESH air and know that with that breath you are giving yourself the gift of starting over afresh and brand new.

Let that be your gift to YOU. A SECOND chance. A time to finally see PAST all the hurt and pain and suffering and tears. A time to let yourself BE who you are and step out into the present with arms wide open and unafraid to let the world see you. What will YOU do with your life? YOU decide.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

RISE UP

The night has passed in its darkness and all things hidden suddenly alight within it, words said and emotions wrought as a soul grasps itself together yet one more time. But yes, the night has PASSED and is no more. In that should be the same of what transpired within it: Let gone and let go and given to Him, for some things our soul should not bear if we want to stand unencumbered by chains of any kind, even those we might have once placed upon ourselves.

The day dawns, the fingers of light reaching across the sky reaching for you, to remind you that light pushes AWAY darkness and a NEW day has begun. A new day and a new time, giving you another opportunity to start fresh and claim it as your own, your life to walk forward in His grace and share YOUR light with the world.

As we grow in darkness, so too do we grow in light, and all that occurs in darkness will eventually be revealed in the light. Let not the darkness be the strength creeping in your soul, but take from it iron strength and indomitable will to mesh with the positive energy and healing love of the light.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

ONE STEP FORWARD

Each day is a NEW day. A new day to take another CHANCE. A new day to take ANOTHER step. Another step FORWARD in the direction of your dreams. Another step forward, no matter how small. For even the smallest of steps is PROGRESS towards the fulfilment of the ultimate achievement. The ultimate achievement of the ULTIMATE dream. Whatever that may be. For it is different to each and every individual. But no matter what, I canNOT be stopped. I cannot be stopped from TAKING that step. I cannot be stopped from reaching that one bit FURTHER. I cannot be stopped from STRIVING for “just one more”. I cannot be stopped from doing my BEST, even if my “best” on any given day is not as good as it has been in the past or will be in the future. I will have given my best, my all on that day, and that is what MATTERS. What matters is moving FORWARD. What matters is keeping the dream ALIVE. Keeping the dream alive in my HEART and the hearts of those I touch. For when I touch others, I make a DIFFERENCE. And when you make a difference, especially in a dream, you can CHANGE the world. ONE step at a time.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

TRY

When it seems the bleakest, the night the darkest, hope all but there, that’s when you need to try the HARDEST. When you have nothing to hold onto but your faith and the warmth of another hand wrapped tightly around your own, you can find the strength to keep going, to hang on, to try at least one more time.

You never know what one more effort might bring. You might know the pain and suffering that will surely ensue, but your soul also knows the joy and victory that comes with success, the price of trying that one more time. The time you might wonder why and feel is not worth it, because every other time has given the same outcome, but you never know when that outcome will suddenly CHANGE and your world will be as it should be.

One more time. One more effort. One more battle. One more day. ONE MORE. All it takes is a little faith and heart and hope and the willingness to give it that one last chance. YOUR last chance. For if you do not take it, you might forever lose what it is you have spent so long fighting for, and you can never do that, can never give up your heart and soul because you might be tired. You would never forgive yourself.

That one last time could be the difference between the ultimate sorrow and the most wondrous happiness. It could be the turning point between what was once “impossible” and what will forever thus be possible. It could be the start of your future in the realm of your dreams, leaving the past and its heartache behind you for good. It could be EVERYthing, mean everything, so you HAVE to try.

TRY. As hard as you can. Until it hurts so much your tears bleed. Until you are so exhausted you don’t know how you can still stand. Until the last breath whispers from your lungs. No matter what, you try and give it ALL you’ve got. Because this is YOUR life, and in the end, YOU must live with the decisions you make and the consequences of them.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

SECOND CHANCE

Your life is changing in ways you never thought it would. You are in a place you never thought you would ever be. You have found a faith that you never thought you would need or care for. YOU are changing more than you ever thought possible.

Do NOT be afraid of the change. Everything you have been through was for a REASON. Every heartache and tear wrenched from your soul, every moment of pain and frustration and confusion, every feeling of hopelessness and despair, was all for a reason. Out of the greatest pain [often] comes the greatest GROWTH. Out of the greatest pain [often] rises the GREATEST and most BEAUTIFUL of souls.

You have been through that pain. You know what went wrong, what lessons you had to learn, even if the way you had to learn them was so drastic that you felt like your soul would be torn asunder for all time. Know that from the pain will come STRENGTH greater than you ever thought you could have, regardless of you knowing that your soul already has strength of its own.

Hold ONTO the faith that you have found. It will pull you through even the darkest of times. Never be ashamed to cry out to Him, to plea from the depths of your soul for help, on your knees in the most desperate of times, for He ALWAYS listens and He always ANSWERS, even if the answer is not the one that you seek. Know that the answer He gives is what you NEED, because He knows even before you do what your SOUL needs to survive, what your heart needs to be ALIVE, what your mind needs to be ENCOURAGED.

A door in your life may have closed, but there HAS been opened a window. It might be small, seem impossible for you to see yourself fitting through it at the moment, but know and accept that NOTHING is IMpossible with God on your side. NOTHING your heart dreams or aspires is out of your reach if you desire it with EVERYthing that you are, and with such consuming passion and commitment to making it happen, you CAN.

Have FAITH and BELIEF in YOURSELF, that you are stronger than you think and have far MORE within you than you might ever have known! YOU have the POWER to CHANGE your life! You have been given a SECOND chance! Make the MOST of it and become EVERYTHING He always intended you to be!

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

EVERY DAY

The shadows of yesterday fade in the sunrise of the new day. The burdens weighting down your shoulders can be lifted after a night of rest. The eyes that looked like a storm can sparkle with hope and life.

Every day is a NEW day. Another chance to make a CHANGE, to CREATE the dream your heart has been calling for. Another chance to make life as you WANT it and not just allow yourself to accept and settle for the circumstances you find yourself in.

CLOSE the door on yesterday. Let its troubles not weary your soul, but take from it the lessons learned and put them to use with a smile, knowing that you will not go back from whence you came, but only surge FORWARD, gaining momentum that propels you into the destiny awaiting you. Accept the people in your life and know that there is a PURPOSE for each one, and take delight in the time you have when you have it, because you never know when that time will be gone.

You have wanted a FRESH start for a long time now. Today brings a NEW chance to turn your life into the life you want and dream of, to take the risks your soul knows you must, to leave behind the abuse you have allowed yourself to endure, to stop running from the heart that seeks you, to allow that smile to grow as you do.

If you want a new BEGINNING, this is it. This is your chance, your time to ACT. Take the opportunity and move with it as far as it will take you, and when you can go no further, keep the faith and CONTINUE on, for life is not over until YOU are, and He has GREAT plans for your future!

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

CHASE YOUR DREAMS

YOU HAVE DREAMS. You’ve always had dreams, some since forever and have never ever changed. Some you never had before, but were awakened within by the touch of another soul against your own, realized with a start, but then acknowledged and accepted and now held most precious of all.

The dreams you always had – these are what you have spent a lifetime working towards, so hold onto them, for they were not placed on your soul without purpose. CHASE THEM. Do one thing every day that will take you ONE STEP CLOSER to their achievement.

The dreams that were startled from slumber – these are the dreams that have sustained you in recent times, when you discovered that smile in your soul again. CHASE THEM. FIGHT FOR THEM with everything you have and DO NOT EVER give up on them.

You want your life to “close” without regrets. You don’t want to wonder “what if?” So chase your dreams - ALL of them. There is ALWAYS hope and if you still believe in your dreams, KEEP THEM ALIVE. LIVE your life TOWARDS your dreams until your life IS your dream.

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.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

THERE IS ALWAYS A SMILE

You might wake to sunshine or rain. Your first thought might be one of joy or despair. Your heart might be light or crushed. No matter how you wake, it’s the start of a brand NEW day.

Another day is another chance: To make the changes in your life that you want to see happen and bring about, to look for the light in the darkness and the hope in the torment, to KEEP going even if you feel like you cannot or do not want to, to find a SMILE and to give ANOTHER that blessing.

No matter how you wake, there is ALWAYS something out there to smile about. Always someone who can make you smile simply by thinking about them. Something that can happen to you that will make your smile grow wider and bigger. Something that can amaze you so much the memory of that smile imprints on your heart forever.

No matter how you wake, the thoughts in your head, what is going on in your life, remember that there is ALWAYS going to be a smile tucked away, even if you think not. You just have to shake your head, close your eyes and reopen them to look at the world in a different light, from a new perspective, see the beauty and let it touch your soul, having faith in the hope that your dreams are on their way to becoming tangible.

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.
