Daily Motivator - November

Nice and polite

It’s great to be nice, to be polite. Everyone prefers to interact with other people who are polite.

Yet when you hide or even deny the truth in the interest of politeness, that’s a problem. Politeness that obscures reality is downright deception.

Sometimes reality is not particularly nice or agreeable. And avoiding it out of a desire for politeness is going to allow that difficult reality to get worse.

When possible, be pleasant and polite, because it smooths out interactions and adds genuine value to life. But when being polite prevents you from dealing with reality, choose to deal with reality.

When a few people are standing in a parking lot having a fruitful conversation, it’s rude to interrupt. But when they cannot see a speeding car headed their way, it’s foolish and irresponsible not to warn them.

Reality always wins. Be nice and polite as much as you can, while never failing to acknowledge and accommodate what is true and what is real.

Valuable experience

The past is over, but that is no reason to abandon it altogether. Though it’s foolish to attempt to live in the past, it’s just as foolish to dismiss it completely.

Every experience you’ve ever had is now part of the past. All the knowledge you possess, you learned in the past.

As such, it’s good to remember, and to remember in great detail. Because the person you were yesterday, and twenty years ago, can offer great advice and direction to the person you are today.

Your past has shown you again and again what matters most to you. It has also provided you with a detailed database of which strategies and tactics work best for making your way forward.

So your past experience can not only help you determine where to go next. It can also provide expert guidance on how to get there.

Living through the entirety of your past has given you much value that remains with you right now. Treasure all that experience, all that value, and put it to good use today.

The work you do

A special form of happiness it is to do a job well. You prove to yourself that you can, that you exist, that you make a difference, that you matter.

Leisure has its place and can offer certain pleasures. Yet it is work that resonates most deeply with the enduring reality of who you are.

That reality is one of great creativity and usefulness. Every effort advances you toward a future in which more value exists than in the present.

During each step along the way, work adds its positive dimensions to your experience. You start with purpose and intention, you continue with strength, and you finish with well-earned satisfaction.

As you apply focus, discipline, and persistence you gain new appreciation for what is, new confidence in what can be. You are engaged by the challenges, energized by the progress.

Throughout your existence is the ever-present magic of what’s possible. Continue to do the work that brings great possibilities to life.

Live with competence

There are things you are competent at doing. Challenge that competence, improve that competence, expand on it, repeatedly put it to meaningful use.

Be inspired by your competence in one area to develop new competence in other areas. Look for how you can get better, then get better at getting better.

Life presents you with obstacles, unfairness, and disappointments, but also with resources and opportunities. To make the best of all that, respond with competence.

Your competence feeds upon itself. Exercise competence and grow even more competent.

Complaining, blaming, making excuses, criticizing, seeking pity, all those dig you deeper into negativity. Competence gets you out, and you have the wherewithal to use it.

Engage your abilities, your energy, your passion, wisdom and purpose. Live with competence, and lift all of life higher.

Resonate with purpose

Envision life at its most fulfilling. What do you see?

Look beyond merely getting what you want in the moment. Focus on what will fulfill the purpose that lives within you, and will advance life itself.

Consider what experiences and interactions would deepen your comprehension of truth and reality. How might you more completely understand who you are and the goodness you can bring?

Getting through each day is of course essential. Seeking to know why, and to connect with that purpose, empowers you to reach far beyond everyday concerns.

Although you cannot fully articulate or explain your purpose, you can feel it. You also know when you are moving toward it or away from it.

Pay attention, and your vision becomes more clear. Seek to resonate with purpose, and bring fulfillment to life.
