DAILY INSPIRATION

MESSAGE OF THE DAY

"If you hear a voice within you say 'you cannot paint,' then by all means paint and that voice will be silenced."

                              

Too many times we fall victim to the negative voices inside our heads.  One minute you can be on cloud 9 with a great idea, the next second you can be bombarded with reasons why that idea won't work.  There is a way we can defeat that negative voice that is holding us back from reaching our true potential.   The way we silence the negative is by disregarding the doubt and fear that it feeds upon and go with our initial instinct.   We give power to the negative thoughts when we hear them out and listen to what they have to say.  The more we disregard the negative voice the less power we give to it.  The negative voice will soon be silenced and we can continue painting our beautiful lives into the masterpieces they are. 

STAY POSITIVE! :)

PERSEVERE

“Words are one of the most powerful weapons known to man.  They can build us up or break us down.  They can wage war or bring about peace.”  
                                                     -James L. Crim

For the past hour I have been contemplating on what to write for this blog post.  Should I write about something that happened today?  Nothing is coming to mind.  What about something I saw on the news?  Even though there might be several news related blog post I could write about I don't think I'm in the mood to write about them now.  Ok then, let’s expand my mind.  The first word I think of is what I will write about.  The word I'm thinking about is, (I’m pretty sure you already guessed it) PERSEVERE.

Persevere is a very powerful word in the English language.  It builds us up even when we are broken down.  It reminds us to keep pushing; that better days are around the corner.  Once we get to that corner where the grass is greener we can look back on the obstacles that held us down and realize that those situations, those issues did not make us weak.  Everything that happened and will happen was put there to make you stronger.

One of my favorite perseverance quotes is by English literary writer Samuel Johnson who said, “Great works are performed, not by strength, but by perseverance.”  It’s not always about what you do when things are going your way; it’s what you do when things aren’t.

As an example I had no clue what to write about.  Instead of giving up and shutting down the computer I decided to plant myself at my desk and work through the difficulty. Perseverance at its best!
