MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

WHAT YOU BRING TO THE WORLD

You ARE special. You are UINQUE. You bring something to the world that NO ONE else can.

Life is not about what you can TAKE from it. It is about what you can GIVE to it. And what you “give” is what you have to BRING.

Ask yourself, what sets you APART from others? What talents and abilities do you have that allow you to “create” something that no one else CAN? What makes YOUR light shine? Where does your PASSION lie?

The world will be here no matter what you DO, whether we live or die. Yet what kind of place it is, especially in YOUR sphere of influence, depends on what you bring to it.

Seek to GIVE. Become a “servant”, but without sacrificing yourself in the process. Strive to become the BEST that you can, so that the world might also have your “best”.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

BE CONFIDENT

STOP looking at everyone else. STOP comparing yourself to everyone else. What anyone else is doing or has achieved is IRRELEVANT. No one else is YOU. No one else has YOUR purpose to fulfill. No one else can BE you.

EVERYONE has their own weaknesses and strengths. You might struggle with weaknesses others cannot comprehend. You might have no problems in areas that others never seem to have success in. Everyone can be and will be weak in some area, and everyone will be and have strength in other areas. Just because no one has the same weaknesses and strengths is NOT a bad thing. It simply means that we are all DIFFERENT, all intended to live DIFFERENT lives.

Once you accept that you HAVE weaknesses and are willing to DO something about it, then you can truly succeed. However, until you UNDERSTAND that you “need” others to help you in your quest through life, you will not. All of us have weaknesses and strengths because we are all meant to HELP each other. We are all part of the “puzzle” of life, fitting together to create a brilliant tapestry of unique genius, every thread and strand holding another in place and making it gleam as bright as it can, showing “it off” to perfection.

You are who you are, with your own talents and abilities for a purpose. That purpose is to BE you. To be you means you have ACCEPTED your mission and are ready to do what it takes to achieve it.

2012 | Day 281: BE A BLESSING

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

BE A BLESSING

You ARE a Blessing. Your very presence in this world is a GIFT. If you are not aware of it, you SHOULD be, so know it NOW. Know it and live UP to it and be a BLESSING to all those around you.

God gave you talents and abilities, passions and motivations, and He intended for you to USE them. He intended for you to use them in your PURPOSE and be a BLESSING to those around you, to SHARE yourself with the world and ADD to it, to ENRICH the experience of all others in your sphere and improve on their knowledge. When you are passionate about something, you light up when you share that passion, passing along an ENTHUSIASM, drawing similar minds to you, and those for whom you are going to be a “reason” in their life.

Never think that you are worthless or that you have nothing to offer, because you DO. You were created UNIQUE for a reason, set apart for a purpose, even if you are not yet conscious of that purpose. Only you can offer the complete package that you are, so use EVERY day to BE who you are and make yourself better, so that you can be a POSITIVE force in the lives of those around you.

Think of all the people in your life. Think of everything they have taught you, the memories they have given you, the footprints that will forever be imprinted on your soul. Whether they caused you heartache or happiness, each one has blessed you in some way, giving you valuable experience that was not intended to remain dormant or hidden. You are blessed to BE a blessing, so be a blessing to ALL those lives YOU have the privilege of being able to touch, making what difference you can.

2012 | Day 204: Actions

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

Choices & Abilities

We all have talents and abilities, whether we are born with them or develop them as we grow through life. However, not everyone USES the abilities they are born with, and some become adept at things that were not immediately natural to them.

Some would say that one is defined by what they can DO. Others would argue that it is not what one CAN do that defines who they are, but what they actually DO.

We experience many things in life, and two individuals who have gone through the exact same thing and grown up the “same” way will NOT turn out the same. Because we all have CHOICES; free will to decide what we will and won’t do, whether we will be weak or strong, whether we will let our circumstances and experiences dictate what we are or whether we decide for ourselves who we become.

If we have a gift but never use it, can one say that that is what we are? We cannot, for it is our ACTIONS, not our potential that defines us.

Quote for Reflection:

2012 | Day 176: Cry No More

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

You are UNIQUE

We are all DIFFERENT. There is NO one person in the world exactly like another - past, present, or future. You are the ONLY you there will EVER be.

No one can do what YOU do. No one can love like you love. No one can give like you give. No one can spread joy like you spread joy. No one has the same talent and gifts as you do in the specific degree that you do. No one can REPLACE you and some things only YOU can do.

You are UNIQUE. EMBRACE your uniqueness. Do what you were CREATED to do.
