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.
“You may be disappointed if you fail, but you are doomed if you don’t try.”
― Beverly Sills
It is true that you won’t succeed in everything you do. However, you will undoubtedly lose every battle that you are too afraid to fight in. For the whole point of life is to try…
“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.
“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.
“Change course, but don’t give up.”
― Roy T. Bennett
At some point in your life, you will inevitably run into a dead end along your path. But the key is, you must not let this discourage you from continuing on. When you reach a point where you can’t travel any further, turn around and try a different trail. Look at it like, “Oh well, I tried but it didn’t work out. So, let’s try something else and take a different approach.” Just don’t give up.
“Life should be a risk. It’s more than a straight line that you can see clearly from one point to the other. It dips and curves and you never know what’s around the bend sometimes until you get there. That scares a lot of people. But that’s the beauty of it.”
― Katie Kacvinsky, Awaken
Life is all about the unknown. It’s about not knowing what is lurking around the corner and having to deal with any curveball life may throw at you. It isn’t about having all the answers or having a cheat sheet. Instead, you must grab the reins of life, hold on tight, for it is meant to be a bumpy ride!
“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.
“People will always have opinions about your decision because they’re not courageous enough to take action on their opinion.”
― Steve Maraboli
You have to live your life for you. Someone will always have an opinion about your life and how you should live it. But, at the end of the day, it’s your life. So, don’t live your life within constructs set by others…walk your own path.
“I hope that in this year to come, you make mistakes.
Because if you are making mistakes, then you are making new things, trying new things, learning, living, pushing yourself, changing yourself, changing your world. You’re doing things you’ve never done before, and more importantly, you’re Doing Something.
So that’s my wish for you, and all of us, and my wish for myself. Make New Mistakes. Make glorious, amazing mistakes. Make mistakes nobody’s ever made before. Don’t freeze, don’t stop, don’t worry that it isn’t good enough, or it isn’t perfect, whatever it is: art, or love, or work or family or life.
Whatever it is you’re scared of doing, Do it.
Make your mistakes, next year and forever.”
― Neil Gaiman
A new year is upon us. It is the beginning of a new chapter in the story of our lives. It is a time to say goodbye to the good, bad and ugly of the past year. It is the time to embrace new opportunities and charge full steam ahead through uncharted waters. Go beyond your comfort zone, try new things, make mistakes, but never stop moving forward.
