Monday Motivation No. 1

Success is the progressive realization of a worthy goal or ideal ~ Earl Nightingale

Today, I want you to remember that you don't have to be rich or famous to be successful. Not having the material things that the world deems to be valuable does not automatically make you unsuccessful or a failure. It doesn't make you any less valuable. And it doesn't change how you're loved. God doesn't care about your wealth. And when it comes down to it, at their depths, neither do other people. What matters, especially after you're dead and gone, is your heart


And there are rich people and poor people with good hearts, the same as there are rich people and poor people with bad hearts. Monetary wealth can not change and does not determine the wealth of your heart, it can only make the state of your heart more obvious to others. It is your responsibility to foster and have a good heart, to love those around you, and to make the world a richer place. Not by money. But by experience


See, the richest place on Earth is a graveyard. A cemetery. A moratorium. Whatever form and function that the place dead bodies are kept. Yes, that place... it is filled with the bodies of people who had, at one time, a life, a purpose, the power, and ideas to change the world. Endless possibility has been buried. Seriously powerful insights have been cremated. Ideas and solutions to problems have died prematurely. Why? Because people were taken before their time? No. Rather, this premature death happened long before they died physically. It happened when they decided that what was inside of them was not worth releasing into the world; it happened when they decided that their day-to-day momentary happiness was more important than chasing their callings (which is, by the way, the only activity that can produce total joy in your life) and that they, therefore, wouldn't continuously foster their skills, knowledge, creativity, expression, or intuition. If those buried in the graveyards and those cremated had spent time steadily progressing towards their goals instead of listening to their insecurities and fears, the world would be far more advanced than it is today. In many ways


As Earl advised us, "Don't let the fear of the time it will take to accomplish something stand in the way of your doing it. The time will pass anyway; we might just as well put that passing time to the best possible use."


So, I want you to remember that there is a whole world of potential inside of you. You may not be where you want to be (yet), but you will get there. You'll get there when the time is right as long as you never give up on yourself


You are valuable, even when you have no idea what's going on

You are loved, even when it feels like nobody cares

You've got this!

Just. Keep. Progressing.
