MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

There are infinite possibilities inside you, endless potential that even you might not be aware of. You are an incredible masterpiece, with your own melody and vibrations, a composition no one can ever successfully imitate or copy. There is greatness within and surrounding you and you just need to let yourself BE and LIVE it, no matter the present, because the present is in a constant state of flux and you with it. When you just do YOU and focus on doing what you do best, knowing or not the next step of the journey, your action in faith is the catalyst that sets in motion the process that will bring you to the intended vision. You are part of a vision, an irreplaceable part, one that may not always be seen or recognized, which is ok, because you dance to your own tune and have a rhythm unlike any other, and it is only BECAUSE of your confidence in such knowledge that enables you to be. Believe in the process, trust in the vision, and continue to do what you feel in your soul and know in your heart to be your truth, for everything matters, action and reaction.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY


YOUR MIND


Your most powerful weapon and best tool. The most dangerous control or greatest gift. And you choose what it will be. You decide. YOU.


You ultimately determine whether or not you control your mind or allow it to control you. Decide NOT to let it "just happen". Consciously take charge.


Reinforce your "reactions" by being IN control. You are an emotional being capable of extreme logic. Create a balance to achieve your best action.


Through it all never lose sight of your soul. Your vision. Your purpose. You can both control AND be free. It is not easy. But it is possible. BE.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY


THIS IS YOUR LIFE


It's a mindset. A vision. A way of living. Be so focused on your vision that you instinctively move away from anyone or anything who is not moving in the same direction. FORWARD. Choosing growth and empowerment. New experiences and an enriched life.


Every day is a new day. A fresh start. A blank slate. You choose what you draw on the easel of that day. Make it a work of art that people REMEMBER. That they will want to stop and look at. That speaks to something deeper within them than simple surface logic.


It's all a choice. And it's all on YOU. How you decide will ultimately determine one step closer or one step further from your vision. Each day is an opportunity of possibility. Each moment to be lived with nothing less than passion and soul.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY


WORTH WAITING AND FIGHTING FOR!

Your heart knows what it wants. And it knows what it’s prepared to do to get it. If it’s something you TRULY desire and long for above anything, you WILL do WHATEVER it takes - wait as long as it takes, fight as much as it takes, suffer as much as it takes, until your dreams manifest as reality.

Waiting teaches us patience. It is probably the one thing above all else that shows us how much we truly want something. Waiting suffers the battles, the fights, the struggles, the torment, the pain, the tears. It’s NOT giving up when things seem bleak, hope desolate and lost beyond belief. It’s having faith that no matter what, you WILL persevere, that it will all be WORTH it in the end.

Nothing great ever comes easy. It is always going to be a battle, because that is the way of life. It sorts out the wheat from the chaff, determines who REALLY has it in them to touch their dreams. After all, if you’re not fighting with EVERYthing you are and have, then you’re not really fighting, and if you’re not really fighting, then it means whatever it is you are fighting for does not mean that much to you.

Pain is just one price we pay for our dreams. Sometimes it is the most costly of all, because the road to our heart’s desire is neither short nor easy, and the most beautiful of things cannot be touched, but they must be felt. The most beautiful things in life often come out of the most intense and immeasurable pain, drawn from a soul that refuses to let go or give in or give up, knowing that even the deepest torture is nothing to endure to see their dreams alive and living.

When your heart wants something, TRULY desires it, you will find within you the STRENGTH to endure and overcome ANYthing in the pursuit of it. So hold TIGHT to your dreams, NEVER give up hope, and always have faith that every minute, every fight, every tear is WORTH it!

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY


GO, LIVE LIFE

Life is short and it is oh so very PRECIOUS. EVERY moment counts and every second matters. Everything you DO has cause and effect. Everything you SAY lingers in a heart or mind or time. Everything you ARE can change the world AROUND you.

SEE the world for what it is and then WORK on making the one YOU live in the way you WANT it to be as much as you can effect and have “power”. As you strive to become the BEST you possibly can, encourage OTHERS to their potential alongside you, showing them that there is ALWAYS hope and NOTHING is “impossible”, that life is a dream to be imagined and made REAL.

LIVE life as you strive, ENJOYING the “moments” that will become memories, GRATEFUL for the blessing of those kindred souls who journey with you and have come to mean more than you ever might have thought. As you open your heart and let your soul SMILE allow yourself simply to “be”, EMBRACING all that you are and will become, INVITING the future and opportunity for GROWTH, inspiring movement and momentum of vision and promise.

EVERYthing has PURPOSE. Every “chance” is a gift given, a mystery to unravel, a wonder to behold, a blessing to be shared. Every NEW day is another day to unlock potential, change in ways that might have once been unfathomable, experience the amazing in the “normal”, make a DIFFERENCE as only YOU can. RECOGNIZE it and take control, even as you let Him “lead”, understanding that every day is His gift to you, your “second chance” to live a life of choices that will create positive example to INSPIRE courage and “risk” in others to LIVE their lives as COMPLETELY as possible as well.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

DON'T SETTLE

There comes a time in your life when you say “enough is enough”, “this is not me”, “I will not let myself live like this anymore”. Your soul and heart and mind and body have great “memory” of the discipline you “lived” in the past – one part of the past that was truly an asset, and an asset that once had, never truly lost, because the ability and “habit” is already ingrained in who you are, and no matter if it seems “lost” for a time, is always there to be found and used again. The “memory” of the lifestyle “before”, the “good”, that which allowed progression and growth – that is all there, slumbering awakening, a dull rumbling beneath your skin, like the groaning of a volcano ready to erupt. LET it out – let it loose to be YOU again.

Settling was NEVER an option – “comfort” may have been slipped into, but once realized, can no longer be allowed. Motivation for everything you want and need is there – it has just been hard to “move”, but now there can be no excuses NOT to, because there is no one but you to whom you shall eventually be accountable for what you did and didn’t do in the pursuit of your dreams and desires. Those who achieve great things did not settle – they may have been “knocked down” or out for a time, but they did not let that stop them, and on the rise back up, found “new” strength and growth that would serve them in their surge forward. Forward momentum – habits might be hard to break and make, but once made, can be made again, better than before.

Chase your dreams with a vengeance – don’t let anything stop you, any obstacles serve only as “lessons”, milestones of growth and progression, keeping your mind objective as your heart focuses on your vision and purpose. Go after what you want – you KNOW you are worthy of it, accepting of yourself and what has brought you to who and where you are now, even as you know that you cannot and will not “stay” where you are now, because you are all about becoming better on every level, being the example for yourself that you are YOUR competition, leading by example that no matter what one has faced or is facing or will face, they can always OVERCOME and CONQUER!

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

WALK 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

HERE NOW WITH THE POWER

You are NOT the person you were yesterday. You are not YET the person you will be tomorrow. You are here NOW, today, part of the old, to become the new, and have the power to CHOOSE what you will take with you from the past into your future.

You are HUMAN. You’ve made mistakes. You’ve got regrets. Welcome to life. The beauty of it is that you are not defined by your mistakes or regrets. You can move past those and embrace the promises and opportunities waiting for you to step INTO.

TODAY is up to you. Tomorrow today will become part of your past. It will be one step closer or one step further from where you want to be and the person you were meant to be. The choices you make, the memories you hold onto in your heart, the lessons you bring with you from the past, the experiences you allow to “shape” you, WILL mould you for tomorrow. Therefore, be wise in what you will and won’t allow, the battles you choose to fight and leave alone, the people you surround your heart and mind with, for it will all play part in the future.

You are what you ALLOW into your soul. You develop BECAUSE of your mistakes and regrets, the consequences that follow, the struggles that you battle. You want the darkness to ILLUMINATE the light, so that you come out BETTER than ever.

Your soul is the most PRECIOUS “thing” you have. It is your own and no one can make it into something YOU do not give permission for. Determine today WHO you want to be and filter in or out anything that has no role or purpose in that vision.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

TRUST AND HOLD

You have a dream. You have an ache burning deep in your soul. You have a vision beyond anything else. HOLD it. Keep it CLOSE. Remember WHY you cherish it thus. BELIEVE in it with everything you have. NEVER let go of something so precious.

It might seem as if your dream is far off. That does not mean that they are never going to eventuate. Some dreams just take TIME to manifest from fantasy to reality. Some dreams require MORE than others, not because they are “impossible”, but because not everyone is yet READY for that reality.

TRUST the process. If you are doing what you can and giving all you’ve got you can do no more. All you can do is be patient and have FAITH that your vision will be. It might not happen as you WANT it to happen, but it WILL happen, just the way it SHOULD be.

2012 | Day 288: FIGHT FOR IT

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

FIGHT FOR IT

NOTHING in this life comes easy. There is ALWAYS pain involved - sacrifice of something, whether comfort or habits or people, making decisions that will leave one future behind for another. You have to KNOW what you want in order to walk with CONFIDENCE and truly FIGHT with EVERYthing that you are and have for the future that you are walking TOWARDS.

You have to fight for what you WANT, so have no fear in determining your set course and know that if it wasn’t worth it you would not be fighting. You have to fight for what you BELIEVE in, so never be ashamed of who you are and what you stand for. You have to fight to be HEARD, so do not be afraid to stand up and shout “look at me; listen to me” if something is so very important to you. You have to fight for those who mean the world to you, so do not be afraid to LET them know what value they have in your life.

If you don’t fight, then you never truly wanted it. It did not have such significance in your life, and if it DID, then no one but YOU ever knows what it means to you. If you do not SHARE your dreams and vision, no one can know what to do to help you on your journey. If you do not let others SEE who you are, they are always going to think of you as the impression they have and not the reality. If you do not let those who matter KNOW that they matter, you may miss out on creating something that could become one of the best things in your life.

Think about your FUTURE - what it is you truly want and the people you want walking beside you. When you know, make your dream an ACTION and FIGHT for it. Fight for what you know you deserve and do NOT let anyone tell you otherwise. Fight for your passion and your heart, at peace with your soul in knowing that you are ALWAYS doing everything you possibly can to make your life COUNT.

2012 | Day 278: VISION AND REALITY

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

VISION AND REALITY

If you want something, you HAVE to do what you need to for it to HAPPEN. If you have a vision, you have to DO for it to become a REALITY. If you have a dream, YOU have to ACT for it to manifest.

Having a dream, a vision, wanting – it should all be about creating a BETTER you, someone who has a wealth of knowledge and experience behind them, unafraid to let the world see what they are, because they are no longer that person. Your past may have created the circumstances that moulded you, but it does NOT define who and what you are – that is something YOU have to do for yourself, so stand STRONG and be CONFIDENT in knowing your vision, that the path you are walking is going to lead you to a higher place, a better you.

Know your PURPOSE and then SHARE it. Share it so that you can garner the SUPPORT you need to make it HAPPEN. You CAN do it on your own, but you never truly accomplish anything ALONE, even if it is a “solo” act.

Having a VISION means having a future that is not JUST for you, but that makes a DIFFERENCE in the lives of others as well. YOU may be the one who gets down to the nitty-gritty, because you know better than anyone what it is you want, but TOGETHER make it a reality.

2012 | Day 245: LIFE

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

Life is what you MAKE of it. You can just be in it or LIVE in it.

Have the PATIENCE and COURAGE to PERSEVERE through the FRUSTRATION of life’s CHALLENGES. Find the JOY and HOPE through the SUFFERING, remembering your ultimate DREAM even when you are in PAIN. Take PRIDE in how you live and live with a PASSION and DETERMINATION to always live life on YOUR terms. Have FAITH and anticipate HAPPINESS, for it lies in wait out there for you. Have CONFIDENCE and TRUST that even in the SILENCE God has your BEST interests at heart, working FOR you as much as you are in fulfilling the BEAUTY and FIERCENESS of the VISION in your heart. There is GOODNESS to be found when your eyes are OPEN to it, so take PLEASURE and SATISFACTION in the gifts of FRIENDSHIP and blessings that are given you.

Life is a WONDERFUL place. Live in AWE and watch the world UNFOLD before you.

2012 | Day 229: Having Vision

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

Having Vision

Having vision means having a dream, yet not only having a dream, but seeing what needs to be done for it to eventuate, and being willing to do whatever is necessary to make it happen.

Many people have dreams, but not all of them have the courage to see past the obstacles they will have to manoeuvre in the pursuit of that dream. They fail to see what those obstacles MEAN, seeing them only as roadblocks and not as opportunities. They fail to see God in everything that comes to pass and walk as blind men seeking something they know in not what direction it lies.

Many people have dreams, but not all of them have the courage to turn that dream INTO a vision, moving it from their heart into the hearts of multitudes. Not all of them have the FAITH to stay strong to that dream through whatever may pass. Not all of them have the PERSEVERANCE to see it through to fruition and fall short of the glory that might have been theirs, of the difference they might have made.

Having vision means not only having your own dreams, but seeing GOD’S hand in the midst of it. He would not give you a dream if He did not want you to DO something about it, if He was not going to be there with you every step of the way. God plants the seeds of vision inside our hearts for a PURPOSE. It’s up to YOU to DISCOVER that purpose and then MAKE IT HAPPEN.

When you know your purpose, you truly know your heart. When you know your purpose, you are truly prepared to make manifest your dream. When you know your purpose, your vision is clear. When you know your purpose, you are READY to START CHANGING LIVES.

2012 | Day 224: What The World Needs

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

What The World Needs

Yes, you have life. But having life does not mean you are ALIVE.

You have life for a REASON. Not simply just to be, but to make a DIFFERENCE. The world NEEDS you to stand up and stand OUT and be an EXAMPLE of what a life lived is all about, what living for a PURPOSE means.

The world needs DOERS, not bystanders. It needs people who are NOT content to live life in the slow lane, but who are willing to take the risks and zoom past everyone else like they are standing still, ready to lead the way and show them how life is MEANT to be lived.

Are you a leader? A revolutionary? Do you have a vision? A dream? What are you DOING about it today? Are you sitting in the slow lane, behind someone else, waiting for someone else to make the first move before you take the first step? Or have you already revved your engine and pulled out into the fast lane and are overtaking those who do not yet have the courage to pursue their dreams and make their own reality?

It’s YOUR choice what you will be. Decide TODAY!

© 2012 Rosie Chee

Quote for Reflection: “The world needs people who want more than just nice little lives. The world needs people who care and will serve. People who want something great. People who are willing to go after it. People who would never be satisfied with anything less than living their 0 to 5 life scale, to a TEN!” - T. Smith

2012 | Day 223: I AM ONE

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

I AM ONE
 
We are all only one part of life, one of many billions of people on the planet. The number one is a small, solitary number. It can be a common thought that “one” cannot achieve much, that it is INsignificant, but NOTHING is insignificant and ONE individual CAN make a difference - whether that difference is merely only to a single other or reaches out far beyond the scope of imagining.

There are many things that we cannot do simply because we ARE one. But there are also many things that we CAN do as one. Knowing the difference between them is a part of accomplishing great things - you must know when to “team up” and when you can go at it alone.

Even teaming up with another or a group of others, when the vision you share is mutual, for the greater good, IS making a difference. But the vision of ONE is nothing to be taken lightly either, for the vision of one can sometimes make the MOST difference - you just have to make sure that the difference is a POSITIVE and EMPOWERING one.

Therefore, NEVER UNDERestimate the power of who you are, what you say and what you do. You never know who might be listening or watching and what impact you will have on them, on their LIVES - nor the subsequent impact that THEY can have on another.

Quote for Reflection: “I am one, but I am one. I cannot do everything, but I can do something. And I will not let what I cannot do interfere with what I can do.” - Edward Everett Hale

2012 | Day 103: STOP looking at the Obstacles and START looking at the POSSIBILITIES!

Went to sleep not long after 0330 and woke just after 0700. Felt ok...Headed out for HIIT Run. Legs felt heavy and dead, hating the way my body felt in general, period. Sprints felt slow to me - could also have been because I was running uphill into the wind, but...Just glad to get back and be done with it. Into the sauna for 30 minutes, before the pool, not able to hold myself under for as long today, only ~3.5 minutes - I am so stressed right now and my body is starting to feel it. Then the spa for a bit, actually not minding it so much - usually I'm not a fan of it or the heat, and then back into the pool again to see if I could make myself suffer a little more...Highly irritated and frustrated, and with both anterior delts/biceps' tendons having hurt sharply all day on top of everything, NOT in the best of moods for the gym tonight...Went in and straight into my weights, having already decided that I was going to make this session slightly shorter than last week, since my shoulders were both still hurting quite badly. Started off with the same weight as last week re Single-Arm Bent Over DB Rows and was able to manage ok, albeit less reps on the second set than I did last week. Push-Ups were done on my fists this time (since that's the only way my left wrist does NOT hurt funnily enough), all the way down until the top of my chest hit the floor - feeling it on the last set, since I was doing these slowly. Skipping was VERY fast. Went five pounds lighter than the weight used last week for Supinated Bent Over BB Rows and managed a lot more reps, with a lot better form - although right elbow still sticks out on these and no amount of effort is bringing it in close to my body, GRRRR. Same weight as last week on the Incline BB Bench Press and was able to be semi-normal re reps done. Skipping very fast again, the expression on my face one of concentration warning people away. Five pounds heavier than last week on the Neutral Grip Seated Row, for the same reps. Same weight as last week on the Cable CrossOvers as well, for more reps on the first couple of sets. Skipping started to slow a little on the last couple of sets here as I began feeling the fatigue, left elbow hurting (from the second set of TriSet C) and right knee (from the second set of TriSet B). Definition and vascularity was not as prominent tonight as it has been (I think the HOT shower followed by 10 sprays of NO Infuse on each delt/arm ~30 min pre-weights has a big impact on it - moreso the former, since that was what was not done tonight)...Didn't feel like it, but sat myself on the Recline Bike and surprisingly spun my way through 20 minutes. And that was that - relived to have it over and done with...

Day 231: Action with Vision

MOTIVATIONAL QUOTE OF THE DAY

(Background Image courtesy of Simon Atkinson - note that
this particular edit re colour, contrast and crop was specifically done
for today's quote by Rosie Chee Scott)

 

Dreams are beautiful, but you are not given dreams just to think about them; ACT on them and work towards making them a REALITY! There should be a purpose for EVERYthing that you do! As I have said before, "Goal-setting is definitely an important factor; one needs to know that what they're doing has a purpose!" No matter how small the action or what it is for, make sure that you know WHY you are doing it, that the outcome of that action will bear fruit in your life or that of another.

Day 230: Masters of our Fate

MOTIVATIONAL QUOTE OF THE DAY

 

(Background Image taken by Jay Hilgert)

 I want for you to dream and imagine, know that ANYthing is possible if you want it enough, if you believe in that dream and in yourself, your ability to make it happen, the strength to go after it no matter what the sacrifices you might have to make, because you know in your heart of hearts that it is where you should and have to be, your vision, becoming.

Day 352: Day Off

Quote of the Day

"Vision without action is a dream. Action without vision is simply passing the time. Action with Vision is making a positive difference." - Walt Ostarly

Training

None. I've trained daily so far this week, albeit only doing three resistance sessions instead of 4-5, but sometimes you have to take a step back to allow for progress, and the beauty of knowing when your body requires it, and being able to adapt to it is a great thing.

Comments

Mental Focus and Clarity: Great - I'm going to be working hard in place of my training today.

Stress: Always high.

Recovery: For some reason, I feel quite shattered, even though I did nothing yesterday - possibly Friday is catching up with me, or maybe my terrible sleeping patterns are finally taking a toll on my body.

Other Notes: Going to continue using ~24 pumps of the 7-keto DHEA topical.
