Here are 7 words to contemplate as you travel through your life.
Motivation
Most people are waiting to be motivated. They hide, hoping that
motivation will seek. Being motivated before you act is an amusing game
we play with ourselves. Can you imagine life functioning on that
principle? Does the young eagle wait to be motivated in order to fly?
Was the newborn motivated just before birth? Do a thing because it needs
to be done: motivation will follow the action!
Commitment
Life owes us nothing: we owe it everything. Therefore, squander yourself
in any action you take. Apathy, indifference and self-doubt are killers
of commitment and will ruin your resolve: ‘one who hesitates is lost’.
Become whatever you do. Commitment is life itself!
Persistence
The determined spirit cannot be chained, cannot be broken and cannot be
conquered. Persistence defies failure at every turn. Persistence wears
down demons and causes courage to smile. Persistence is dedication,
determination and lots of hard work. Indeed, it was persistence that
formed the universe!
Creation
Is there really nothing new under the sun? Why everything that we do is
new under the sun. Each moment is unique and each action is an addition
in the history book of existence. Therefore, don’t say I’m doing the
best I can. Rather, do the best that can be done!
Enthusiasm
We hear it in the voices of the birds as they sing in each new day. We
see it in the play of children. There is nothing more uplifting or
contagious. Enthusiasm flows like water to cleanse away debris, leaving
all in its wake bright and sparkling. It is life dancing in its own joy!
Time
We all have 24 hours in each day: here at last is true equality. What
should we do with this time, which is our life? Do we invest our time in
actions that fulfill our purpose here? Live your time well, for it is
all you can call your own!
Faith
There is hardship, injustice and unspeakable horror for so many.
Sometimes we may wonder if the sun even wants to shine upon us. We may
shake our heads and keep asking why? But ‘why’ only forms a quagmire for
the intellect to be trapped in. ‘Why’ only delays us from doing. Trust
only what comes from deep within: this is the root of faith and is the
essence of our very being. For you see, the sun will shine, again and
again. In fact, no amount of fearful darkness can put out the light of
even one small candle. Through faith, heroism flourishes everywhere.
Be Magnificent!
