Monday Motivational Sayings

Nothing is impossible to a willing heart.

John Heywood, sixteenth-century English poet

I was thinking about this quote and doing some reading when I happened to come across a website entitled Nothing Is Impossible To A Willing Heart. Monika Sethi is a burn survivor, she knows the challenges that come with that facing life one a daily basis. She has the empowering strength to to take on board this inspirational message and move forward with her life.

I was particularly taken with some of the things she wrote;

"The greatest power that one possesses for succeeding in life is our understanding that life gives you a fresh start at any moment that you choose to begin again. No matter what has happened, in your life, and how strongly it has affected you, you must always have to remember that nothing that stood in your way would remain there for long and that it cannot stop us for long. When things change in your life, we hope that all of the changes are for the better. Depending on the situation as humans we cannot always realize everything will turn out for the good. But do not worry with positive thoughts and help from others, it will not remain there forever."

"Most of us need love and respect from ourselves and others. It is in the giving and receiving of love and respect that we choose life. The greatest power that we all possess for succeeding in life is our understanding that life gives us a fresh start any moment we choose to start fresh. If we feel that the love around us is not bringing us where we should be or we are finding a gap in our lives then you might want to look for spiritual guidance. Spiritual guidance is not restricted to one area, or one particular day or time of the day. While we may be more open to receiving spiritual guidance in the quiet hours of the early morning, or the late night, we need to understand that spiritual guidance is always present. It is present in books that we 'happen' to come across, articles that we reading and things that we hear. Many times that new information is applied to our personal situation."

"Perhaps if we expected to receive spiritual guidance at each and every moment of our lives instead of simply in church on Sunday, or when we sit quietly in meditation, we would receive many more messages throughout the day. On the other hand what if we need that spiritual guidance and the end result of the situation is still negative. We need to learn from that experience and then move forward again in our life. This will allow each and every one of us to gain strength and positive ideas."

"So dear friends I personally ask you to do what is needed and Live for today. Celebrate the past, embrace the present, and anticipate the future. Learn from the past but don't live and dwell on yesterday. Recognize that the good old days are never going to return and maybe they were not as good as we recall them to be."

To worry is a total waste of time. It may change things for a few seconds but when you come to terms with reality you realize that this did not change anything. All that negative emotions and thoughts, worry does is taint your mind and steals your joy. So open your arms and welcome today. If you are in pain emotionally and/or physically reach out to a friend. A true friend will grab you hand and help you in any way he or she can. We must all come to terms with the past and let it go. We should keep the past in the past. Remember that when the going gets rough you must find the strength from within yourself and fight back. Don't lay back in pain or distress because nothing is impossible to a willing heart. Move forward, find your new path in life.

ONE STEP AT A TIME

Rob Longley

Each step a challenge

Each day a joy

An unstoppable spirit

None can destroy

The worst you know

Is yet to come

To create awareness

This must be done

You have the reach

To change perceptions

And take the search

In new directions

And then emerges

wondrous things

That restores your life

within seven springs
