Daily Motivator - March

March 1

Meaningful structure

You have much to be thankful for. You have much to do.

There are people, places, values, experiences, and other aspects of life you care about deeply. Life is best when you focus on those.

That’s something you can do now. It’s something you can do tomorrow, the next day, every day, in some way, to some degree.

Take a moment to gather your thoughts about what matters most. Then re-commit yourself to it all.

Enable yourself to go forward with a perspective of gratitude and purpose. With it, maintain a meaningful structure upon which you can build and preserve value.

Transform the months and years into achievements, the hours and moments into treasured memories. Know the goodness of what you have, of all you care about, and continue to fill each day with new meaning.

Good work to do

You’ll find great satisfaction in assessing what exists, what’s available, and improving upon it. You’re able to render a wide variety of objects and situations more beautiful, more useful, more accessible, understandable, and enjoyable.

Not everything is in need of such transformation. Yet there’s always something in your world that is.

You have the opportunity to appreciate and to be thankful for all the goodness that surrounds you. And on top of that, each day you have the opportunity to refine and expand on that goodness.

What’s broken can be made to work again. What exists only as a good idea can be brought into beneficial reality.

What’s already valuable, you can make even more valuable. What’s been lost, tarnished, or underappreciated, you can bring back to prominence, beauty, and usefulness.

The opportunities are many, and they’re all around. Seek to humbly make something better with your attention and effort, and you’ll have no shortage of good work to do.

Worth it

The good you do is worth the trouble. The value created by your efforts is worth the inconvenience.

The experience you’ve gained outweighs the setbacks you’ve gone through. The strength you’ve built has amply rewarded the sacrifices along the way.

Today brings an opportunity to continue investing in life’s goodness and fulfillment. The effort won’t be easy, and will be worth it.

Your life, your world, your purpose, existence itself, all have value and significance. Enjoy the satisfaction of working to preserve that value, to expand that significance.

Each difficulty you encounter enables you to exercise strength, creativity, resourcefulness and more. Rise to the situation, to the moment, to the opportunity.

Every day, every action, every challenge, disappointment, delay, is worth it. Because you have the power and the sense of purpose to make it so.

Direction of focus

Where is your focus directed? What kind of energy is that focus producing?

Your mind has significant influence over every part of your life. Be sure that influence is as beneficial as you can make it.

If you’re intensely and exclusively focused on what’s wrong, you’re very likely to get more of it. Fortunately, you can change the direction of your focus in an instant.

When you find yourself low on positive energy, consider what thoughts have been filling your awareness. Firmly push your focus in a more purposeful and positive direction, and your energy level will follow along.

Effectiveness in everything you do begins with keeping your mind aligned with your best possibilities. From that intentional, positive focus will flow positive choices, productive actions, and desirable results.

No matter what the situation, it’s always your decision what to focus upon. Use that power constantly and consistently to bring value into your life and your world.

Path for improvement

Congratulations, you figured out what the problem is. Now it’s time to get to work.

Pointing out what’s wrong is necessary. But it’s not at all sufficient.

Getting rid of a negative situation will leave an empty space. You must fill that space with a positive alternative, or the problem is sure to return.

Most likely, what’s now a problem started out with the best of intentions. Let that be a reminder that good intentions are not enough.

Beyond merely pointing out what’s broken, step up to the challenge of creating a detailed path for improvement. Then follow that path with action, with awareness, with diligence.

It’s relatively easy to tear down what doesn’t work. Any time you do, be ready to invest plenty of time crafting a brilliant and compelling replacement.

Energy of your destiny

Go beyond imagining and talking about the principles you admire. Work them into the moments of your life.

Your dreams and fondest desires are too valuable to languish in some distant future. Bring them into the activities you engage in today.

Give life to your values, priorities and preferences. Give action to your ambitions and objectives.

You are so much more than a bundle of interesting concepts. You are a dynamic, living, breathing force who can bring unique goodness into existence.

Every unfolding situation opens up new opportunities for you to realize more of your potential. Rise to the occasion, claim the energy of your destiny, and put it to positive use.

Pay attention to the details, but don’t let them needlessly distract. You have a great and meaningful life to live right now.

Give in to purpose

If your problems are stronger than your purpose those problems will quickly overwhelm you. When you make your purpose stronger than your problems you’ll be fine.

You can’t always avoid difficulties. What you can always do, however, is deepen your purpose.

What is your why? And what is the why behind that why?

All sorts of forces will push against you from time to time. Yet with a reason that’s sufficiently compelling, none of them have the power to keep you down.

Get clear about that reason and stay true to it. Let it be the fuel that keeps you going.

Give in fully to authentic purpose. And you won’t have to give in to anything less.

Refresh your spirit

Turn away from what’s been allowed to mesmerize you for too long. Give your spirit some much needed refreshment.

Offer yourself the invigorating experience of a creative challenge. Go where you haven’t been, reconsider what you’ve disagreed with, learn what you never before realized was available to know.

Reliability and predictability offer plenty of advantages, and need not be abandoned entirely. Yet you can gain life-changing energy from being surprised, mystified, awestruck.

Pay attention to something you’ve always chosen to ignore. Go out in the sunlight with the intention of discovering what’s new.

Your heart loves certainty, and your spirit craves novelty. Give yourself a healthy balance of both.

Treasure and appreciate all you have, while also opening a pathway to new possibilities. Refresh your outlook, your energy level, your spirit, by showing yourself how beautiful and wondrous life can be.

Go beyond

Look beyond what angers you and you’ll see what teaches you. Move on beyond what saddens you and you’ll encounter things that bring you joy.

Venture out beyond what irritates you and you’ll enter into situations that empower you. Learn to see past what frustrates you and begin to uncover what drives you.

Beyond what worries you is the realm of what inspires you. Go beyond what frightens you and you’ll engage in experiences that strengthen you.

Seeing the good in life is a matter of looking beyond the distractions, frustrations and disappointments. Beyond what is superficial, fleeting and negative, you’ll connect with what has substance, what endures, what truly matters.

Go beyond your first impression. Look beyond the surface.

When it feels that the whole situation is stacked against you, look beyond. Go beyond, and find all the real, positive, enduring value that life has to offer.

Decide to be empowered

Much of what happens is beyond your control. Yet you can always decide how to feel about it, and what to do about it.

If you feel lousy, it’s not because of a particular circumstance. It’s because you’ve interpreted that circumstance as something to feel lousy about.

Imagine the power of interrupting that dynamic. That power is yours whenever you decide to use it.

You have an enormous amount of work to do, limited time to do it, and must contend with distractions from every direction. That’s a reasonable excuse to feel sorry for yourself.

Yet it’s also a powerful opportunity to exercise control over your feelings and intention over your actions. You can replace the sorrow with enthusiasm and transform the unfortunate situation into valuable achievement.

No matter how it comes to you, today is what you make of it. Decide to feel empowered by that fact, and do something good and useful with your power.

Greatness of today

This is a new day, and you can use it to bring new richness to life. Today mixes positive value from the past with original possibilities in the present, and you can perform a similar combination.

It serves no purpose to wish all the bad things had not happened or that all the good things were still here. Instead, take the opportunity to create more goodness in fresh, innovative ways.

Carry forward all your good memories and positive values from the past. Honor and appreciate the best of what has been by making new richness from what you have today.

You’ve experienced some sadness and disappointment, and there will be more. Yet all sorts of new and meaningful joys await your choice to let them come to life.

Here is where you are, this is the time you have, and in it you’ll find everything you need to make a difference. Seize the opportunity to live with more richness than ever.

Treasure the best that you’ve been, and use this day to make it better. Put a confident, authentic smile on your face, a song of thankfulness in your heart, and live the greatness that is today.
