We're all a little crazy. You have to be. To survive in this world. And "crazy" is a relative term. To whoever is using it really. Since one could also call it "genius". Whatever way you choose. However you do it. Just keep on going.

2013 | Day 67: OUR LIGHT


MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

OUR LIGHT

Sometimes when life brings our spirits down, we forget that it is only temporary and that we have the power within us to light our OWN way. We have a flame inside us, whether it’s only a tiny ember in this moment. That flame has the potential to burn high AND bright and saturate the area around us with light so magnificent the path before us could not be clearer. We have the power to be a light, not just for ourselves, but for OTHERS as well. We have the courage, no matter how far down it is hidden, to work THROUGH anything life throws at us, no matter how destructive the heartache and pain.

When the walls are closing in on us, causing claustrophobia, our night sky devoid of stars, we have to reach down INSIDE of ourselves and look for that light. We need to search for that spark, no matter how small, and learn to wield it with such might that it cannot help but brighten the room so that we can see the walls, that crack in them for us to escape through. We have to let it become THE star in our night, guiding us back to the dawn, where everything is born again and given another chance at life and to reset our soul.

TRUST in yourself, in your instinct, in that light. Trust it to keep you alive when you think all is over and that there’s nothing left, when it gets hard and you have nowhere to turn, when the weight of the world feels as if it rests on your shoulders alone. Trust that the light you have inside you will see you through, that it can light up your ENTIRE world so that even the shadows are scared to come near. Trust that light and SURVIVE. Survive to LIVE!

2012 | Day 275: ANOTHER DREAM


MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

ANOTHER DREAM

When you let go of a dream it is NATURAL to grieve. It is natural to feel pain. It is natural to feel a little lost. Especially when you’ve held onto something so dear for so very long and you finally accept that it may not be meant for this lifetime.

It’s not a betrayal to let go. Sometimes it’s the ONLY way to stop the pain and feeling of knowing what could be and never realizing it.

Our ability to survive and thrive can depend on our ability to ADAPT. If one dream should fall and break into a million pieces of glass we can always create a NEW dream. It will never be the same as the original, but that doesn’t meant it cannot be as great.

As we grow and change, so do our dreams. Sometimes it is our DREAMS that change us. Sometimes being open to the possibility of a new dream is what changes us.

Life is too short to live with a closed heart, even if everything about it suggests being shut off from the world is the way to survive. If you are closed off, you are closed off from the opportunity of experiencing joy, happiness, love, and yes, the darker emotions of anger, despair, and pain. But you cannot have some and not the others, for life doesn’t work like that, and even in a dream you cannot escape the circle of balancing emotions that encompass it.

Sometimes a dream is nothing but an illusion we deceive ourselves with, wanting to believe, when it but a nightmare we are trapped into, a cruel hope that keeps us going, giving us reason to survive. When that is our dream it is time to let GO and create another dream.

It might SAVE you.
