A BLOG DEVOTED TO SHARING POSITIVE AND ENCOURAGING MESSAGES FOR THE HUNGRY HEART
“Imagine no limitations; decide what’s right and desirable before you decide what’s possible.”
― Brian Tracy
Your life is full of limitless possibilities. All you have to do is believe, because the only person who can limit you is you. Allow yourself to dream, allow yourself to yearn for the stars and most importantly allow yourself to go after what you most desire. For one day you will learn that there is no such thing as the impossible.
“Never stop just because you feel defeated. The journey to the other side is attainable only after great suffering.”
― Santosh Kalwar, Quote Me Everyday
No one ever said things were going to be easy. No, your journey will likely be fraught with pain, suffering, and winding roads. There will be many times when you get defeated and are too tired to carry on. But it is during these darkest hours that you must hold on for just a little longer, for that is often the moment the tide will change.
“All teachings are mere references. The true experience is living your own life. Then, even the holiest of words are only words.”
― Ming-Dao Deng
It’s great to listen to the advice of others and learn some lessons through others experiences. However, there comes a point when you must go out there and try and fail yourself. Because no matter what you’ve heard, there is no greater teacher than life itself. So, go be a part of the greatest experiment to ever exist…it’s called living your life for better or worse.
“Each of us is a unique strand in the intricate web of life and here to make a contribution.”
― Deepak Chopra
Each and every person on this Earth has a purpose and a higher calling. No two people were put on this Earth to do the same thing. So, never let anyone make you think less of yourself. You are special, one of a kind and capable of changing the world. For it takes but making the difference in one life to change the world – one person at a time. You are an important strand in the tapestry of life.
“But life isn’t something that should be edited. Life shouldn’t be cut. The only way you’ll ever discover what it truly means to be alive and human is by sharing the full experience of what it means to be human and each blemish and freckle that comes with it.”
― Iain Thomas
Life is meant to be perfectly imperfect. There is no filter or edited version of life. To truly live means to fall in the mud and scrape your knees on the pavement. It’s about each and every scar you earn. For every blemish represents an important page in the story of your life.
“I can see it. This one moment when you know you’re not a sad story. You’re alive. And you stand up and see the lights and the buildings and everything that makes you wonder. And you’re listening to that song in that drive with the people you love most in this world. And in this moment I swear… we are infinite.”
― Stephen Chbosky
Open your eyes and truly allow yourself to see the world. See the beauty surrounding you, breathe in the miracle of life. You are so much more than you give yourself credit for. If you truly believe in a limitless future, your life will be full of infinite possibilities. Let go of the chains of doubt that are holding you back and break free so you can fly.
“Whatever happens in your life, no matter how troubling things might seem, do not enter the neighbourhood of despair. Even when all doors remain closed, God wil open up a new path only for you. Be thankful! It is easy to be thankful when all is well.”
― Elif Shafak
No matter how hard or rough the road gets, don’t give up, don’t give in and most importantly, keep persevering. Have faith that in the end things will work out. Put your trust and faith in God, for through him any and everything is possible. And remember, no matter how long the night, the dawn will break and the Sun will rise again.
“It is when we think we can act like God, that all respect is lost, and I think this is the downfall of peace. We lie if we say we do not see color and culture and difference. We fool ourselves and cheat ourselves when we say that all of us are the same. We should not want to be the same as others and we should not want others to be the same as us. Rather, we ought to glory and shine in all of our differences, flaunting them fabulously for all to see! It is never a conformity that we need! We need not to conform! What we need is to burst out into all these beautiful colors!”
― C. JoyBell C.
You are beautiful just the way you are. You don’t need to conform to the definitions society gives you. Your individuality is what makes you unique and special. We were each put on this Earth to shine our own light. Don’t compare yourself to others; rather, embrace who you are.
“The way I define happiness is being the creator of your experience, choosing to take pleasure in what you have, right now, regardless of the circumstances, while being the best you that you can be.”
― Leo Babauta
Life may be tough at times and downright miserable. But it is during these dark moments in our lives that we must learn to dance in the rain instead of waiting for the storm to pass. Find joy in every moment you are blessed to have on this Earth.
“Oh, God of Dust and Rainbows,
Help us to see
That without the dust the rainbow
Would not be.”
― Langston Hughes
Life has a way of balancing itself. For good to exist, there must be evil lurking around the corner. For every sunrise, there is a sunset. For every dawn, there is a dusk. Light cannot exist without darkness. Never forget you cannot have one without the other. So, embrace all sides of life.
