MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

HOW TO LIVE

Life is a process and we are one within it. Sometimes we can be unsure. Well, not just sometimes, but a lot. Sometimes we can mistrust ourselves so much that we either never take the step we know we should or we hesitate so long that the time for it passes and we are left with the remnant of “what could have been” and a dream stuck in our soul.

However, no matter how long it takes, I believe that we eventually reach a point when we know to LISTEN to that inner voice and trust what it says, because it is His whispers in our soul, the instinct given to GUIDE us “through” life. It may take a lifetime, but the day WILL come when you are in acceptance of your life and everything that has happened up until that point and you will TRUST YOURSELF to know what is “best” for you and “see” the path you are supposed to take.

As soon as you STOP second-guessing yourself you will find that life becomes a “joy”, peace settling over your heart and soul. Decisions become easier as all the “what ifs?” and “buts” fall away to reveal the truth in your soul, the longings and desires, sometimes hidden, sometimes as clear as the sun on a cloudless day, there. The clamour that abounded before becomes a single voice, sometimes still, but always heard, “telling” you “how” to live.

You have to give yourself PERMISSION to listen. You have to trust that your inner compass is directed towards “true north”, the ultimate destination you are headed in, the journey that will teach you the most in life, what you need as it gifts you with experiences beyond your wildest imaginings, even for those of us who have been accused of “living” in our minds and imagination.

So, rise up. Set aside the ashes that have covered you. Rise like a Terminator and step forth from the flames. Let the world see what the fire has forged. Look out the world with eyes that have known more than they should and set your course FORWARD. Like a “machine” following GPS, follow the “call of your heart”, heeding instinct, letting the machine “be human” so that you can have the “best of both worlds”, experiencing everything not through just the logical, but emotional and soul as well, LIVING.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

HEART ADVENTURES

Sometimes things happen that you are UNprepared for. Sometimes they hit you, like a train crashing into you and you wonder how you could have been so blind all this time. Sometimes they are more subtle, like the lighting of a butterfly upon your finger. Either way, some of the most wonderful things in life and greatest adventures you embark on in life come from places you never would have expected, but that your HEART knows is RIGHT. They begin as tiny whispers in your soul, reaching out skeletal fingers towards your heart, slowly but surely creeping their way in like the mists of time, until you do not know when you cannot remember such longings and desires NOT being there, when your entire being did not shiver with delight at the way your life is unfolding and the miracles happening almost daily before you. And when you realize how PRECIOUS the dreams captured in the confines of such a small space are, you hold ONTO them as tightly as you can, hoping and wishing for their reality and to never end, because you cannot imagine your life without them in it, so dear do you cherish them.

Your life has taken a turn in a direction you might never have thought possible, twisted down a path you might never have considered to wander, floated over an ocean you might never have crossed, all because such an “adventure” began in your heart, filtered into by your soul, where your instinct and essence dreams and breathes. EMBRACE the life coming at you, the unknown, the wild, the scary, the passionate, the love. Embrace it and LIVE, knowing that there smiles in your soul satisfaction of being exactly where you are supposed to be, grateful for having listened to your instinct and steered from danger that might cause horrific devastation upon destruction already wrought. Now your soul is giving you a chance to HEAL, and it is healing you through a life of adventure, of love that is real, of companionship before only thought to have existed in fairy-tales and dreams. Embrace it, deep down in your core, in your heart where part of you lies hiding, and open yourself up, knowing that vulnerability is NOT a weakness, but in the end will only make you STRONGER and more APPRECIATIVE of life and all He has given you.
