"All she wants is someone who will look beyond her beauty and see the things that truly make her who she is. All she wants is to be able to show someone all of her past, all of her flaws, all of her mistakes, all of her insecurities, and never feel like she's too much. All she wants is something different. Something that's real. Something that's genuine." - Ryan Snowden

"It's a strange thing," she said, "to miss the one you love the most, and yet it be as if they never left."

"I don't understand." He looked confused. "How can you miss someone who is still here?"

"It's not something everyone gets," she sighed, "but the artists, the lovers, those who feel the soul in the world - they do; they know."

He shook his head, as if she spoke a language he did not understand. And she did. And it was sad.

Because he was the one she missed most of all.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

ALWAYS A WAY

No matter what anything LOOKS like, there is ALWAYS a way for those who are determined and can look BEYOND what is seen. Circumstances may seem “impossible”, challenges and obstacles insurmountable, but for those who refuse to believe that nothing is as it seems, ANYthing can be “resolved”.

Learning to see past the visible is a stepping stone to growth and understanding. It reveals a different kind of soul: One who is not afraid to take risks and try new things, who revels in challenges and unlocking “secrets”. It OPENS a soul to a “new” world full of possibility and “magic”.

There IS always a way for the dreamers, for those who dream in the light become the PIONEERS and the leaders of this world, “symbols” of “success”, even if at first they were mocked and disbelieved. Let your SOUL guide you and “show” you everything possible in the “impossible”.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

SILENCE SPEAKS

Sometimes silence speaks LOUDER than any words will ever be able to. It conveys far more EMOTION than anything said could ever evoke. It implies a LIFETIME when nothing else can. It lends itself to UNDERSTANDING when there IS nothing to say. It creates an environment of ACCEPTANCE when it seems like there is no one else and nothing else that will fill the void of the words that one cannot bring themselves to think or speak.

STRENGTH comes from silence. WISDOM exudes from the souls of those broken but still able to love. Caution tarries in the wings LIFTED around those in the silence. It is a place few can go and few want to. A place where the weary and wise souls of the world sit in contemplation and meditation considering all aspects of TIME and what they mean to the ones in the experience. In silence is found the ANSWERS to the questions pervading the minds of man.

Sit STILL when words will only cause empty echoes in your world. Be CALM when words will only ripple through your soul with effects that bring pain. Breathe DEEP when words will only sound as thunder in your heart and cause distraction from your true purpose in life. Allow SILENCE when words will only create confusion and sink slowly into the depths of it as you seek the wisdom to “purify” your soul from that which afflicts you.

Sometimes silence speaks louder than any WORDS will ever be able to. It gives your mind space to THINK. It gives your heart FREEDOM to roam. It gives your soul WINGS to fly and soar above the world you find yourself cocooned in, so that you can see the path that will take you to your dreams. It gives time for REJUVENATION for the journey that you will undertake and “speaks” to your essence UNDERSTANDING that words will never have power to do.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

LET YOURSELF HEAL

Grieving is a NATURAL process. It is unfair to ask one who has experienced loss NOT to grieve. It is cruel to expect them to feel nothing for something that was so very PRECIOUS to them. Even if you do not understand the importance, give them the time that they need to HEAL. Give them the support that they might need in such a time, just to let them know they’re not alone.

In the same regard, you need to LET yourself heal. If you have suffered such tragedy in a loss that renders your soul in pieces, you cannot continue to go on as if nothing has happened. You cannot lie to yourself as well as everyone else and pretend that you are fine and ok, and that the sudden hole in your heart does not affect you in ways that you could never imagine it would.

It is OK to be sad. It is ok to GRIEVE. It is ok to take TIME to let yourself heal. No one can know the depths to which the loss you have suffered affects you. Only you know that, once you have moved past the denial and let the pain touch your soul. When it touches your soul and floods you with the dreams you suddenly realize your heart held, you need to grasp onto them and know that even in death, they are STILL alive.

The loss of a loved one, even one you have never met or who had yet to draw breath, has an IMPACT on your soul. Especially the loss of a life you had living inside you, whether you were ambivalent about its existence or not. EVERY life is precious and the loss of even a sliver of it is a tragedy, even if it takes time to “catch up” to the emotion felt in its wake.

You NEED to let yourself heal. You need to let yourself FEEL. You need to let yourself understand the dream you had buried so deep in your soul that it took such a loss to fully realize that it IS one you want, something secretly and desperately desired, and hold tight to your faith, hoping with all your soul, that it is a dream that will live on until it has been FULFILLED.

2012 | Day 267: "EASY"

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

"EASY"

You say I make it look so easy, that it’s easy for me, but how do you know what it’s like for me? Stop judging and making assumptions based on what something APPEARS to be, because what you see is not always the truth you THINK it is.

It might LOOK like it’s easy for me to you, but what you DON’T see is the PAIN I feel with every movement, every second, choosing to IGNORE and work THROUGH it, instead of giving up because it hurts. What you don’t know about are the YEARS of pain, the daily living in pain so much that it has become ACCEPTED as “normal”, that “easy” is the furthest thing it is for me.

But you do NOT see that. How could you?

I’m not going to tell you I’m so tired I can barely keep my eyes open. I’m not going to tell you I’m so exhausted that it’s taking all my energy and concentration just to stay standing. I’m not going to tell you the pain I’m in demonstrating something to you is enough to make me want to scream.

No, you just see me DO it and assume, creating an impression just as dangerous as an incorrect mindset. Unless you know, NEVER assume.

Live a day in my shoes and THEN tell me how “easy” it is. Live a day in my shoes and realize that I KNOW what it’s like to feel and be weak and helpless, but that I choose NOT to let it determine what I can and cannot do. Live a day in my shoes and UNDERSTAND that I am who I am because I CHOOSE NOT to allow my struggles to control me, that I FIGHT back, that I BELIEVE I CAN AND SO I DO, and that in the end the DOING makes it WORTH it.

I do it because I want YOU to see that it CAN be done, that YOU can do it too, that you ARE stronger than you think, that you DO have it in you to SUCCEED if you WANT to, that the struggle is WORTH it. I do it because I care, because I want to make a DIFFERENCE, because I want to lead by EXAMPLE, because I am who I am and this is what I DO. I FIGHT THROUGH THE TOUGH TIMES AND SO CAN YOU!
