MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

Your life is but one in immeasurable threads in the tapestry of life and will touch more than you know, crossing over and under, between and through, even wrapping around others. In the same way, other threads will come in contact with your own, some wrapping tight around you to create a mess, albeit a beautiful mess. Yet no matter how much beauty in the initial entanglement, time has a way of revealing the true colour and nature of each thread, and should those that surround you dramatically or seek to forcibly change the unique vibration of your own, you must determine whether to stay and let the mess become an ugly ruin, extricate your thread as best you can, or cut it off and allow what was lost in the mess be as you start a new weaving in a different part of life's tapestry.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY


WALKING ALONE

There are times in our lives when the best thing for us is to walk APART. You might be one who has always walked alone even as you are with others and there’s nothing wrong with that. Sometimes if those you walk with are not walking in the same eventual direction as you are, it’s better to separate and forge your OWN path or risk taking an extended detour or veering altogether from your ultimate destination.

It’s OK to walk alone. There’s a peace in stepping away from the crowd and making your own path, even though it will be harder and you may be criticized and judged harshly for it by those who do not understand it or you. Despite what the world thinks, it’s not about living for their needs, but ensuring that YOUR soul remains intact, as much as possible, because you cannot afford to lose it [again].

There is FREEDOM in walking alone. It can be harder, because you have to hold yourself accountable for every action you make, but when you are walking towards a vision, striding forward with a purpose, doing what you must and making no excuses becomes that much easier, because you know that in the end the only one responsible for where you end up is YOU.

It’s ok to LIKE walking alone and some of us have for much of our lives. Know though, that walking alone does not mean that you cannot allow others to join you on your journey, or that you cannot find delight in the pleasure of another’s company for a time, but your soul understands and accepts that it IS only for merely a moment in the space of infinity, no matter how precious.

Ultimately, you must do what is right for YOU. There is no shame in walking alone and it does not mean that you are isolated, even if you want to be and are for a time. There is no judgment in preferring walking alone and often it clears our soul, creating calm in confusion and reminding us of the reality of our dreams, so that we hold on tighter than ever as we BECOME.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

SURROUNDING ENERGY

Anyone who wants you to dilute who you are, or asks or expects you to change for or around them is not someone you need to be with. Everyone, even you, is sensitive, and that is not a “bad” thing, but if who you are hurts of offends someone and they cannot handle or “deal” with your personality, then you need not be in their presence.

You should never have to “dim” yourself for anyone and anyone who thinks you should is negative to your energy. You will feel it, yourself retreat, a tension and aggression that will frustrate you and ultimately “drain” you. When your energy becomes drained, YOU become drained and you cannot live life as fully or make as much difference or the difference you want if you are not “charged” or your energy is “muddied”.

Take a stand for you. For your truth, which you have always spoken, even if others have not believed it until they believed it. Just be yourself, as you are. Realize your power. Take notice of the effects and effecting change the way you desire and need it to be, to change your life so that you can be your best you, to make the most difference and impact possible.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

ENERGIES

Our “circle” is so very important, for those we choose to allow close and call “friends” are those whom will affect us the most, for we “choose” those who not inspire us, but accept us for who we are and encourage growth of our complete being, those souls who “call” to our own and echo the desire and passion we have for life. The “spark” of the company of such souls is palpable and the energy is contagious to everyone in the immediate vicinity. You have the power to change the “vibe” of an environment and those in it have the ability, if you allow it, to change your mood and the way you feel in such a place at that time.

Those friends so dear enough we call “family” and the contact we maintain on a habitually regular basis should be with those who are only going to push you higher and further than even you might be able to imagine, who will challenge your mindsets and thinking in ways that deepen your involvement with life and way of living, and bring out the passion inside. It is said that “you become like the people you spend the most time with”, so make sure you “choose” wisely, but also ensure that in the doing YOU are one of those souls YOU would want to spend time with. Be the example you would want to “look up to”, the difference you want to “see”, and the energy that can “set souls on fire”!

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

MIRACLES

There are people in your life whom you will never forget, whether you live another hour or day or year or lifetime, and whether they are in your life or you have “let them go” for whatever reason was necessary. Yet even if the latter, though you may have “given them up to God” and “made your peace” with their time in your life, your heart can and often will still hold onto them as precious gifts and blessings you were given the joy of having for however short or long a term, your soul never giving up on them, even if their time has “passed”.

Sometimes those we thought “gone” from our lives can “return” or be “rediscovered”, the love we will always have for them smiling. No one is ever truly “lost” to or from us, choices either we or they make determining their absence or presence in our lives.

Miracles are not reserved only for the “worthy” or certain people, but everyone, and everyone is deserving of them in their lives. Whether you might have given up hope or tried to move on from the touching of another soul against your own, nothing in your past or present will hold you back from the possibility of a miracle now or in the future. And even if we have “released” another soul from ours for our own wellbeing and healing, one day the miracle might come to pass that rekindling relationship with that soul is part of our journey and ongoing growth.

Even if you “let go”, if someone touches you so deeply and inspires change in your life, never “give up” on them, for not all souls “develop” at the same rate and in the same scope, and in due time, what may not have been “ready” for you, or them, might one day “come into its own”.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

"LISTEN"

You cannot help BUT know when you're with kindred spirits and free souls. For your OWN soul feels freedom and revels in the joy. It LIVES life breathing happiness and spreading light as it glows from the inside out.

THOSE are the people your life wants and needs to "walk with". When you’re together the world has no choice but to sit up and take NOTICE because there is a “magic” that happens in those moments. LISTEN to your instinct for it will always “lead” you true.

© 2015 Rosie Chee

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

WHO YOU ARE

There are so many people willing to tell you who they think you should be and what they think you should do. IGNORE them. The ONLY person you should be listening to when it comes to who to be is YOU. YOU are the one who lives with your SOUL. YOU are the one who has to live YOUR life. YOU are the one who has to like who YOU are. Because YOU are the one who has to live with you ALL the time and be ABLE to.

In this day and age, being “different” is either sin or celebrated, hated or adored, as “fads” come and go and society changes on a whim. Regardless, who you ARE is NOT a “fad”, and unlike fashion, which “trends”, with often only the “highest” in society showcasing it, YOU are ALWAYS “in style” and NO one else will EVER be able to “be” you, no matter how hard they might try to, once they see you and realize just HOW special and precious your “one-of-a-kind” is.

You are “YOU”. Simply “YOU”. There is no other “label”; no way to describe you aside, because there are no words that can explain the depths and facets of the ever evolving creature that you are. One can only understand once they have known you, a privilege rare few have ever truly been allowed, but that more in the future will be given the chance to, albeit an opportunity still only “offered” a special select, because, even though the world now knows “of” you, you are careful whom you “share” yourself with.

The world will call you many things. Crazy. Mad. Genius. Dreamer. Weird. Strange. Different. You should be FLATTERED. You stand OUT. Everything the world “calls” you because you are YOU is what makes you IRREPLACEABLE. Everything about you, from your flaws to your quirks to your mind to your heart and soul, is BEAUTIFUL. And it is the greatest PRIVILEGE in the world to “simply be you”; as you are, without requiring explanation. Accept it. Embrace it. Love it. Be it. Be YOU.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

MOVE FORWARD

There are many people who have been and are part of our lives; some remain, but many are no longer. Still, there are those who linger on the outskirts, whom we know we should let go of and yet we cling to some memory of them, true or not.

It’s time to LET GO. It’s time to RELEASE any hold another soul has on your own and understand that no matter how much they mean or meant to you, they canNOT be that any longer. It is time to move FORWARD and you can only do that when you accept that your future is NOT your past.

EVERY person in our lives is a reason, season, or lifetime. It is time to acknowledge the reasons and to let the seasons pass, so that the lifetimes can flourish in mutual companionship. Thank those who taught you valuable lessons, ones that no one else could have made you learn, simply for the reason that no one else was a part of your life in the way you allowed them to be. Learn to love the seasons and understand that for a complete and full life ALL seasons must be experienced, not just either summer or winter.

Reason or season, those souls that have touched your own are no less “special” than the lifetimes; it just means that not everyone is meant to be a continuing part of your life story. Yet the time spent with you on your journey created its own memories, so cherish and remember them for what they were, instead of regretting what they could or “should” have been.

Every person in our lives plays a role in the evolution of our soul and being. Some spread darkness, only so others can show us the light. Some cause destruction, allowing others to instil hope. Some use and abuse and leave little left when they are done, making those that we come to understand truly love us all the more precious and appreciated. Every person builds upon the foundation of a constant “work in progress”.

All those who no longer have a role in our world we need to let go of gracefully, thankful for the blessing in having known them, hopeful that we in turn were able to be a valuable part of THEIR personal growth and a part of their journey they can and will never forget.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

THOSE IN YOUR LIFE

The PEOPLE in your life can be very important. If you surround yourself with negative and toxic people, you will eventually find yourself dragged down to their depths, and that is not where you want to be. If you are surrounded by people who seek only to limit your potential and are jealous to see you spread your wings and fly, you will eventually either become resentful that you are “stopped” at every turn or you will begin to become negative and toxic. If you surround yourself with people who have been through destruction and pain and can still smile and see the beauty and good in life, then you will find yourself encouraging each other and lending strength when it is needed. If you surround yourself with positive and motivating people who believe in you and support your dreams, you will find yourself enjoying an abundant life full of blessings as you reach further and strive higher with those also moving forward in life.

Who you choose to ALLOW yourself to be surrounded by can make a huge difference in your life. Are those closest to you truly the ones who know and see and accept you for who you are and will only seek to encourage you, yet not be afraid to confront you because they care if they see yourself in a place of destruction and tell you the truth even if you do not want to see it? Or are they those who claim to know who you are, even as they do not understand your truth and purpose and only seek your attention when they want it or have no one else to turn to? Are those you let close holding you accountable and challenging you so that you grow, as you are them, and do they have your best interests at heart, as you do theirs? Or are you simply a passing whim to them, a moment of pleasure or a “novelty” they think delightful until it no longer serves them?

WHO are the people in your life? Who are you SURROUNDING yourself with? Who are you allowing into your INNER circle? Are they true souls or soulless facades? Do they truly listen to you and support you, or do they only criticize and condemn and seek to tear you down? Do they know what makes you truly happy and can they tell the difference, or do they just call you “happy” when you smile?

The negative, the toxic, the limiters, the energy demons, the “stagnant”, the fake – they will all ultimately hold you BACK from tapping your true potential and seeing your dreams realized. But the positive, the supporters, the warriors, the pioneers, the real who see and know your heart – they will walk WITH you into the fulfilment of all you are meant to be and more.

As you ask yourself who you surround yourself with, ask yourself what type of person YOU are and what YOU give to others’ lives. You know who you DON’T want in YOUR life, so if you are not already, choose to be one you WOULD have and seek to make an inspiring and positive difference in the lives of all those you touch.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE

Life is full of CHALLENGES. It is full of OBSTACLES. It is full of DISBELIEVERS. It is full of OPPOSITION. For every supporter you have, there is a hater. For every beautiful moment in time, there is a memory that crushes your soul. For every mountain climbed, there is a canyon to cross. For every star that is born and rises, there is another that falls from the heavens and dies in a blinding flash of light.

Do not allow the negatives in life to outweigh the POSITIVES. Do not let the moments of sadness overcome the incredible periods of HAPPINESS. Do not let the challenges prevent you from living life COMPLETELY.

LOVE life, no matter what happens. Love what you DO. Love the fact that every day is a NEW chance to start OVER. Love those who love you and never let a moment go by that is opportunity to let them KNOW how much they mean to you.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE. COMPLETELY.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

OPEN

Life never ceases to amaze. The longer you live, the more surprised you can become. It’s nice. Feeling happy and smiling for simply no reason at all. Or because of the unexpected blessings that you suddenly find right there where you once never saw them. It’s a wonderful feeling living each day as a brand new ADVENTURE, open to what may come, willing to give everything a chance, because you never know when something might become one of the BEST things in your life.

Open your eyes. See what IS there. See the POSSIBILITIES. Imagine the POTENTIAL. Not everything will become something or be an experience you might want to repeat or relive, but everything will TEACH you about life and yourself and that is worth it. It is worth it because the more you learn, the more you GROW, and the more you grow, the more AWARE you are, in tune with yourself and your place in the world, which can ultimately be anything you want it to be.

You can DO anything you want to. It’s about believing you can and being willing to take the risk and stepping out there and challenging yourself. Opening yourself up to potential failure, yes, but also a higher possibility of success, because success WILL eventuate if you stay with your dream and give it your best. The world is a playground for the dreamers, for they are the pioneers of this life, the movers, the shakers, the ones who refuse to believe that anything can be “impossible”.

Open your heart. Accept the people that come into your life, whether they are reason, season, or lifetime. You do not have to determine what they are in this instant, but know that there is ALWAYS a purpose for someone [or something] when it happens, even if we never realize it until eons later. There is something in every interaction we have, always an impact, whether we are aware of it or not, and the more intuitive souls will recognize “moments” when they are.

Life is a wondrous thing. There is ALWAYS something that can surprise even the most hardened of souls. There is always something that can soften one, make a heart smile, cause a mind to open, and dreams to begin again. Not black or white and sometimes not even shades of grey, but brilliant streaks of colour, like a kaleidoscope of intense and infinite proportions it can be once you are OPEN to what is and can be, welcoming each new day like the amazing blessing that it is.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

PATH TO "BECOMING"

Everything that I have been through up to this point is my PAST. The past is GONE and yes, we are supposed to let it GO. BUT…That does NOT mean that we ever forget it, for it has played an ESSENTIAL role in creating the person we are TODAY. Every experience, every tear, every smile, every heartache, every joy, every person who has entered and left, every sunset and dawn, everything has contributed to our personal and spiritual growth and development. Everything has advanced our MATURITY as an individual and in LIFE. EVERYTHING. There is NOTHING that is insignificant, even though some events stand out as milestones on the path we have traversed.

My past has taught me. It has given and it has taken from me. It has forced me to bend and break and yield. It has caused me to rise and fight and determined strength. It has been a path through plains of drought and fields of plenty, up mountains of struggle and down waterfalls of ease, and through it all, I have been moulded.

My past may have helped “create” me, but it does not DEFINE me. I am NOT my past. I am who I CHOOSE to be. I am what I have chosen to TAKE from my past, what I have ALLOWED to creep inside my soul and reside there, pulling my heart and guiding my mind in its formation of life and purpose.

I can look back on my past and see the steps, the journey, the experiences that have been the biggest “turning points” in my life. I can recognize the PEOPLE who have had the most impact on my soul and created the most development in my being. I can understand that from my SOUL stems my feelings about life, starting unconsciously, until it manifests either in heart or mind, through emotion or vision. I can ACCEPT that EVERYTHING has been a part of my path to AWARENESS, my journey of growth and development.

Everything current and future will eventually too become part of my past, part of my journey, my STORY. Everything that has happened, is happening, or will happen, is IMPORTANT. But not as important as SEEING it as it happens and understanding that not all things in life will shape us in the way we desire, but instead in the way that we NEED, in order for us to become ALL we CAN be.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

ONE PERSON

Life is funny with the people it brings across our path. It brings the people you need into your life at the time that you need them; whether it be for a lesson or to help with something going on in your life, and even if that timing is all wrong for anything else right then.

A reason, a season, or a lifetime; that’s what people are. So many reasons and seasons, and so very few lifetimes, the lifetimes that are, so very precious.

It's strange to realize that what you thought was a “lifetime” was only a season or a reason; or that a “reason” or “season” could actually become a lifetime. How life turns things upside down, back to front, and inside out; just when you thought you had figured things out, one moment can change everything, your life never the same.

Cherish what you have when you have it, for you never know when it may be gone from you. Take pleasure in the moment, enjoy the time spent together, learn your lessons, and value the hand outstretched unconditionally in friendship, for you never know when that one person could touch you in ways you never imagined.

Life is unexpected, so be prepared for anything.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

STARTING A NEW CHAPTER...

To start a new chapter of our lives we need to have turned the page on the last one, left it BEHIND and moved ON. Whilst the events of chapters past have helped shaped us into what and where we are now - and may even have some role in what we will become and where we might go - they ARE done and should be LEFT in the past where they belong.

You canNOT move forward if you are holding ON to the past, if your mind is living in the past instead of the present, not focused on the future and where you are heading. DON’T let what happened in previous chapters of your life dictate what you do in and with your life NOW.

Sometimes it can be difficult, but don’t treat the people in your present as if they were the people from your past, because they are not. Yes, be cautious and learn from past mistakes and errors in judgement, but do not let what happened then close you off from the potential blessings that could be yours and cloud your mind and heart to what is or might be happening now, for not all circumstances are the same, and not everything plays out the way it did before.

Keep your mind and heart OPEN to what the next chapter of your life might bring. Stay close to HOPE and know what you want to see, but also keep a grasp of truth and accept that not all things are destined for us, knowing that they each have their time if they ARE meant to be.

Do NOT let the past hold you back and stop you from becoming EVERYTHING you are MEANT to be and possessing everything you are meant to have! Accept it, learn from it, and move FORWARD! Turn the page to a NEW chapter of your life and EMBRACE what is to come!

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

EVOLUTION

Those whom I have let know and walk beside me can see how I have changed, the evolution that has occurred, and know that it is not yet over. Those who do not know me can also see in the time that they have known of me that something has changed and can only watch as that change continues to unfold.

I remember the person I was. I know that person. I understand her. I have seen how far she has come, how she has changed and the difference the changes have made. I also know how she is the same, the aspects that have grown stronger, darker, harder and more resilient, even as they are nothing as they were yet are.

I know where the woman I am is now. I know how conflicted is her heart and how close to complete breaking was her soul. I know the chaos that flees through her mind, the darkness that sometimes overshadows the light. I also know that it is a place she cannot stay.

I see where the evolution of my being can take me. I know that nothing is always as it seems and that a huge part of my future lies in the decisions and actions I choose upon in the now. I know that there is more growth to come, but that it can only make me better than who I am today.

Far from where I once was, but still far from where I will ultimately be, I can only make the choice to walk forward with courage and positivity, knowing that I am not alone, my strength drawn from Him, my refuge in Him, and that there is nothing that will come at me I cannot face without fear.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

POWERFUL BEYOND BELIEF

Everyone feels the keen pain of loss, especially when it is one so very close to your heart, and whilst grief can overcome you to the point of breaking and wanting to disappear from the world, your spirit has a TREMENDOUS ABILITY to “come back” from tragedy.

Your spirit has an OVERWHELMING CAPACITY to love and forgive, so even if the one you love hurts you beyond imagining, the deep emotion you have for that person allow you to treasure the time that you had, instead of building fires of resentment and anger. The strength of your emotions for that individual could turn into something ugly, but your spirit is POWERFUL BEYOND BELIEF, and you have the WILLPOWER TO MAINTAIN the beauty that was brought into your life, the gifts that were unexpectedly received in the joy of knowing them, even if they are gone from you in time and distance and perhaps life.

Never forget the POWER hidden deep inside you, the STRENGTH that rises to the surface when needed, the safeguards of your soul, to protect and keep you, but not from the experiences in life that will mould you into a better being, a “higher” you, an ultimate version of the best you possible. Without powerful emotions, having loved and lost, we would miss out on a painful experience yes, but also on the opportunity to OPEN up our life and our heart to another, even for the briefest of times, and know the WONDER OF EVERYTHING encompassed in the HOPE that such happiness can bring to a soul.

You are what you ALLOW yourself to become, with your emotions so very powerful in shaping your thoughts and controlling your actions, so be careful what you hold onto, and if loss is something you are dealing with, remember that the pain eventually seeps away, even if it takes a lifetime, but the BLESSINGS of that love NEVER disappear from you.

Be THANKFUL for everyone in your life who has TOUCHED your soul and left a little piece of themselves embedded in your heart, for they are the gems that make your life so very SPECIAL AND IRREPLACEABLE, for no one else ever did, can, or will have YOUR spirit and the ability that YOU have to make that DIFFERENCE to OTHERS.

© Rosie Chee

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

THE YOU HIDDEN INSIDE

There is a you the world sees and another hidden deep down in the recesses of your soul - a you that rare few ever get to see and experience, because you trust few and do not like to let others close enough to allow any vulnerability, that you precious and protected, those allowed to glimpse and know it privileged indeed.

We hide ourselves away for many reasons. No one is the same and no one’s reason is the same. Sometimes we just do not know how to express or show what it is we are, struggling to find a way to others’ understanding. Sometimes we have been traumatized by past experiences, retreating because we never want to go through that again. Sometimes we use it as a defence mechanism, designed to keep people away because we are unsure how they would react to the reality of you. Sometimes it is just years of conditioning and we do not even know the reason, only now consciously aware that we do it.

Whether you do it because you are unsure how to express who you are or are scared to let the world peer inside your soul, opening up and allowing yourself the freedom to just be you without care, random and all-over-the-place as you might be, is not a bad thing. We should all feel free to be who we are, and if we do not, then we should reconsider where we are standing in life and who we are surrounded by, for those who accept and love you as you are have no issues with seeing you.

It takes time to realize that it’s ok to be you - as you are, no masks, no false smiles, no pretending to always be fine, no being “normal” as the world defines normal. It can be a shock to realize that there are those out there who might have glimpsed a small part of your soul and love it and want more, viewing you in completely different light than you see yourself, accepting the beauty and the monster that are part of you. It might amaze you to realize that there is someone out there who will love the you hidden from all but a few, desiring to know and see more than you allow.

Have no fear in letting your soul out. Life is a risk that we all take - if you always play it safe you will never know the exhilaration of flying, and if you never give life’s challenges and gambles a chance, you lose out on what could become the greatest and most precious things in your life.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

CHANGE IS A PROCESS

Change does not happen overnight. It does not happen in an instant. It does not happen just because we want it to. Change happens when we decide to make a stand and ACT on that decision. It happens when we determine that we are no longer going to live our life the way we are. It happens when our hearts and minds are in agreement with each other. It happens when we are prepared to work HARD to MAKE it happen.

Change starts in the HEART. It has to start in the heart to become a conscious thought. When it becomes a conscious thought we are AWARE of the reasons behind our actions and can GUIDE them in the direction we WANT to go. When we ensure our actions are in line with the change we seek we start to make progress. We start to see change. We start to BECOME what we want to be.

Change is a PROCESS. The desire and the decision to change may take but a moment, but the actual change itself is gradual, like the budding of a flower, slowly opening up to reveal the beauty hidden inside, embracing the world and adding one more wonder to it.

Once the events are set in MOTION they cannot be stopped and that flower can and will continue to bloom even in the harshest conditions if it is nurtured in life and purpose, or it will bloom for a brief while and die. The same can be said of us, in that we will continue to grow as long as we have purpose and passion, as long as we strive to constantly evolve and become better, our hearts and our minds determining the change that will occur, but if not, we will wilt and lose our delight, our sparkle, our shine, and we do NOT want to let that happen.

CONSTANT CHANGE FOR THE BETTER! CONSTANT MOVEMENT OF HEARTS AND MINDS AND ACTIONS! CONSTANT WORK GOING ON INSIDE US TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN THE WORLD!

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

LOOKING BACK

Why look back and regret what has been? For without it you would not be where you are NOW. You would not have grown the way you have to become the person you are today. You would not have been moulded in such a fashion that you would be placed as you are with the desires that you have and the emotions that you feel if NOT for what you have experienced.

Instead of regret, look at it with eyes of AWAKENING. See the journey for what it has been; every experience for its role in making you who you ARE. Every individual who has crossed your path has been for a reason, no matter how small, and some have been SIGNIFICANT players in our personal growth.

Life is a journey of LESSONS, and as we move through it we constantly EVOLVE, shifting with the changes, whether desired or not, creating the person that we will BECOME. Who we become is ultimately up to US and our power of CHOICE, for we choose what we TAKE from our past, what we hold onto and what we let go, what memories we cherish and those we bury deep down inside, the emotions we  carry into tomorrow.

Choose to see the past in POSITIVE light, for what it has TAUGHT you, the OPPORTUNITIES it has given you, the people it has BLESSED you with, even if that past is one of pain and suffering and loss, for in the midst of that endless heartache there is a light, a HOPE that kept you going, a faith that stayed you to this world. Something inside you is GREATER than your circumstances or what happens to you and in the end YOU are responsible for what you DO.

You DECIDE your future. YOU CREATE your destiny. It’s all on YOU. OPEN your eyes, mind, heart, and soul, to see the BIGGER picture and move FORWARD into the future.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

ADDING TO THE WORLD

Every day is ANOTHER chance to make a difference; to give hope to someone who might have little left; to encourage one who has all but lost faith in their dreams or who is close to achieving their goals; to make a sad heart smile or a lonely person feel that for a moment they are not alone. It is another opportunity to put yourself out there and take the risk of living, and in your living, IMPACT another life in ways that you might possibly not be able to imagine.

You are one in a sea of many; a single grain of sand in the endless desert of life, not even a teardrop in the vast ocean of life; but one thread in the tapestry that weaves all lives and destinies together. One does not mean insignificant, for one CAN change the world if they but have the courage and the heart and the determination to go out there and do what they CAN in their sphere, for who knows what domino effect or ripples might spread from the actions and words of that one.

Every day is another chance for every single soul out there to create a memory that will last a lifetime in another soul; a difference that might be THE difference and change a life beyond anything they could ever fathom. Every day is another opportunity to be a light to the darkness that surrounds you; a message to those who desperately need to hear it; an example that He will be proud of. What are YOU going to be adding to the world today?
