Want it More
How badly do you want it ?? How badly do you really want to achieve
what you are working so hard to accomplish ??
When you get hit hard, you have an opportunity to answer this question.
It’s one thing to say you want to do something, or to be something.
But to walk through the pain; to get up and keep moving forward
knowing there may be more pain ahead,
is a test of your determination and resolve.
When you find yourself getting back on your feet,
you have indeed answered this question
and there’s no doubt you will keep moving forward.
I chose this motivational pump up song
because of the raw beat.
Just listen to it, just awesome...Enjoy Video !!!!
“Live life fully while you're here. Experience everything. Take care of yourself and your friends. Have fun, be crazy, be weird. Go out and screw up! You're going to anyway, so you might as well enjoy the process. Take the opportunity to learn from your mistakes: find the cause of your problem and eliminate it. Don't try to be perfect; just be an excellent example of being human.”
- Ted TC Coleman
I gotta feeling that tonight's gonna be a good night,
that tonight's gonna be a good night
I gotta feeling that tonight's gonna be a good night
That tonight's gonna be a good night
That tonight's gonna be a good good night
Tonight's the night let's live it up
I got my money let's spend it up
Go out and smash it like Oh My God
Jump off that sofa let's get off
I know that we'll have a ball
If we get down and go out
And just loose it all
I feel stressed out
I wanna let it go
Lets go way out spaced out
And losing all control
Fill up my cup Mozoltov
Look at her dancing
Just take it off
Let's paint the town
We'll shut it down
Let's burn the roof
And then we'll do it again
Let's do it, let's do it, let's do it,
Let's do it, and do it, and do it,
Let's live it up
And do it, and do it, and do it, do it, do it,
Let's do it, let's do it, let's do it
Cause
I got a feeling (ooooo hoooo)
that tonight's gonna be a good night
That tonight's gonna be a good night
That tonight's gonna be a good good night
Based on a true story, this video shows 5 Taiwan senior citizens who went all out to realize their dream despite of their old age and illness. They were feeling weak, unwanted and depress until they decided to ride motorcycles again and go travel, just like when they were young.
The video is so heart-warming that left me speechless, just tears in my eyes. So I think you should just go ahead with the video, get inspired~
After you watch the video, ask yourself: “What is stopping you from achieving your dream? Are you brave and determined enough to pursue it?”
I hope you get motivated and be courageous just like the “dream rangers”~
You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream. - C.S. Lewis
but I know one thing
Each time I find myself, flat on this face,
I pick myself up & get back in the race
That's life
That's what all the people say
You're riding high in April
You're shot down in May
I know I'm gonna change that tune
When I'm back on top in June
I say that's life
& as funny as it may seem
Some people get their kicks
Stomping on your dreams
But I don't let it, let it get me down
'Cause this fine ol' world keeps spinning 'round
I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate,
A poet, a pawn & a king
I've been up & down & over & out
But I know one thing
Each time I find myself, flat on this face
I pick myself up & get back in the race
That's life I can't deny it
I thought of quitting, baby
This heart wasn't gonna buy it
And if I didn't think it was worth one single try
I'd jump right on a big bird & then I'd fly
*repeat chorus
That's life & I can't deny it
Many times I thought of cutting out
But my heart won't buy it
But if there's nothing shakin' come this here July
I'm gonna roll x3
myself up in a big ball & die
Can't deny it that's life
You may know Ben Davis as a marathoner, ironman or a role model to lose weight. But to me, he’s a great inspiration for everyone.
Ben was once ‘huge’ as he described himself, with 360 pounds. He was upset with himself and life was a mess. Till one day, he decided to make a change - he runs.
Like all things in life, the starting is always hard and slow. But later he ran 7 miles, 15 miles, 20 miles and even a marathon with his father and brother. Now, he lost 120 pounds and is a happy healthy guy.
Ben is not just an inspiration and motivation for those who want to lose weight, but to people from all walks of life. His courage and persistence turn what may seem difficult, to possible.
Learn from Ben’s experience:
“If you really want to do it, just do it! You can”

It doesn't matter how many say it cannot be done
or how many people have tried it before;
it's important to realize that whatever you're doing,
Derek Redmond is a British athlete. It may not be the gold medal that made him famous, but the high fighting spirit that he showcased at the Olympics in Barcelona (1992).
Derek was in the 400 meters semi-final and everyone had high hopes on him. But during the last 250m, he stumbled due to the hamstring injury. He was in terrible pain.
He could have stopped right at the spot but he refused to give up. He stood up and finish the race with the help of his father even he was suffering intense pain.
Derek had portrayed the true spirit of perseverance. How about you ??
I hope you gain courage and motivation from his story. Enjoy the video
Our greatest glory is not in never failing,
but in rising up every time we fail. - Ralph Waldo Emerson
"No One" is really talking about the way that in relationships, so many things are around you all the time to try to distract you. And even though people may talk and say whatever they may want to say, but then no one can get in the way of this."
There are a lot of new love songs out there on the radio today. By far, the song "No One" off the album "As I Am" by Alicia Keys has to be my favorite. It's meaningful with clean words and has a good hook.
The meaning behind "No One" separates itself from other typical love songs. It tells you that there is "no one" else that can compare to that person. Other love songs may just be speaking of the "Mr." or "Mrs. Right Now". Dedicating a song like this to your loved one can be a way of telling them how serious you are about the relationship you're in.
The great thing about this song is the word content. It's clean, no vulgarity, no sexual connotation or words that would be inappropriate for younger listeners. Many of the love songs on the radio now have inappropriate word content and therefore hinder younger listeners from listening or purchasing the song due to parental restrictions.
Lose Yourself
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance. This opportunity comes once in a lifetime. You can do anything you set your mind to. - Eminem
Poets come in all forms and in different voices. Successful poets have the ability to speak to their generation and reach them at the core. Eminem is reaching his generation with his compelling and honest lyrics which are filled with important life lessons. So, just in case you are not a fan of Rap music, I invite you to take a step outside of your comfort zone and listen. Lose Yourself asks if we will be ready when opportunity presents itself in our life. The song ends with a positive reminder that we can do anything we set our minds and hearts to doing.
Motivational songs lyrics:
Pretty pretty please, don't you ever ever feel
Like you're less than, less than perfect
Exchange ourselves, and we do it all the time
Why do we do that? Why do I do that?
Made a wrong turn, once or twice
Dug my way out, blood and fire
Bad decisions, that's alright
Welcome to my silly life
Mistreated, misplaced, misunderstood
Miss 'No way, it's all good'
it didn't slow me down
Mistaken, always second guessing, underestimated
Look, I'm still around
Pretty pretty please, don't you ever ever feel
Like you're less than, less than perfect
Pretty pretty please, if you ever ever feel like you're nothing
You are perfect to me
You're so mean, when you talk about yourself, you were wrong
Change the voices in your head, make them like you instead
So complicated, look happy, you'll make it
Filled with so much hatred, such a tired game
It's enough, I've done all I can think of
Chased down all my demons, I've seen you do the same
*repeat chorus
The whole world's scared so I swallow the fear
The only thing I should be drinking is an ice cold beer
So cool in line, and we try try try,
But we try too hard and it's a waste of my time
Done looking for the critics, cause they're everywhere
They don’t like my jeans, they don't get my hair
Exchange ourselves, and we do it all the time
Why do we do that? Why do I do that?
Why do I do that?
Don't be scared to fly alone Find a path that is your own
Don't hold back and always know
All the answers you will unfold Spread your wings and soar
When they push, when they pull
Tell me can you hold on
When they say you should change
Can you lift your head high and stay strong
Will you give up, give in
When your heart's crying out "that is wrong"
Will you love you for you at the end of it all
Now in life there's gonna be times
When you're feeling low
And in your mind insecurity seems to take control
We start to look outside ourselves
For acceptance and approval
We keep forgetting that the one thing we should know is
Don't be scared to fly alone
Find a path that is your own
Love will open every door
See in your hands the world is yours
Don't hold back and always know
All the answers you will unfold
What are you waiting for
Spread your wings and soar
The boy who wonders, is he good enough for them
Keep trying to please them all
But he just never seems to fit in
Then there's the girl who thinks she'll never ever be
Good enough for himHe's
trying to change and
That's a game she'll never win
*repeat chorus
In the mirror is where she comes
Face to face with her fears
Her own reflection now foreign to her
After all these years
All of her life she has tried to be
Something besides herself
Now time has passed and she's ended up
someone else with regret
What is it is that makes us feel the need
To keep pretending
Gotta let ourselves be
*repeat chorus
Oh don't wait
Spread your wings and soar
Don't wait no more
You've got to soar
It's A Beautiful Life - I chose this motivational song because of its upbeat tempo as well as the message of life being beautiful. If you put all your worries and troubles aside for just a minute and just focus on all good things about life, you'll realize just how precious and awesome life is. If you just take the time to notice what's beautiful about life instead of what's ugly about it, you'll begin to realize that life is too short to not live it fully. There's so much life to experience, yet so little time. Embrace, enjoy, and make the best of it while you still can.
"ACCURACY" is the ability to perform a task or live life with precision. We must learn to give attention to details. Trust is good but sometimes trust can be blind. Accuracy keeps you dialed into clarity of observation and the acuteness of hearing. We so desire to raise others up but accuracy will protect the future. Learning this has been difficult! Live life with accuracy !!!!
Within each moment of life’s mysterious journey, there is a treasure waiting to be discovered. This is the nature of the infinite universe: The simple act of searching for goodness creates the opportunity to see and appreciate the beauty, passion, and goodness that you already possess.
As in the timeless classic, The Wizard of Oz,Dorothy and her three companions discovered that what they wanted most in life already existed within each of them. Dorothy, the Tin Man, the Scarecrow, and the Lion all decided to move toward a higher consciousness, fulfilling the dreams they dared to dream. The wicked obstacles they faced along their path of inner knowing empowered them to transform stress and anxiety into wisdom and untapped potential.
Circumstances of life change only by taking the first step toward your heart's desire – the yellow brick road – activating your heart to feel, your brain to know, and your will to courageously face the relentless fears of living and growing. Love is the only soulution to find your way home. As Mahatma Gandhi said: "Whenever you are confronted with an opponent, conquer him with love."
Today is a new day filled with infinite possibilities. No one knows what this day will bring and in reality you don't get to choose the exact way it will unfold. However, you can choose to stand tall by recognizing the power you do possess. This single moment offers you refuge to redirect your course toward the path of inner peace.
I have a clear vision of world peace through inner peace. This vision is materializing through core values that acknowledge the innate capacity and design of our bodies and nature to heal, regenerate, and become whole. This innate power is driven by an unseen life force that directs and shapes the elements, the seasons, and our connection to the stars—a progression that reveals and reflects the cycles of life and death and back to life again. Tin Man, you have a beautiful and caring heart. Each of the magical cells in your body longs for you to acknowledge your greatness. When you do, the floodgates of emotions you've been hiding from will fill the reservoirs of your genetic potential to create a fruitful life of passion and meaning. And Scarecrow, you are pure genius. Your memory and intelligence extend well beyond all of the combined information of every computer, every library and all sacred space here on Planet Earth. And, sweet Lion, within you is a mighty and ferocious roar—a deep and powerful passion to live with courage, pride, and confidence. Your ability to lead with clarity of vision is guiding humanity to a new vista of caring, sharing, and kindness. Now it's up to you, the Dorothys of the world—lost, afraid, and angry at the circumstances that life is dealing you. There are two paths in front of you: love or fear. Which do you choose?
Start here:
Stand tall and put a smile on your face.
Place either hand over your heart while in the American Sign Language hand mode for "I Love You."
Say to yourself out loud three times: "Infinite Love & Gratitude."
Now close your eyes and listen to your heart's desire . . . .the yellow brick road is calling you!
Take action right now by putting one foot in front of the other toward your heart's calling to create the life of your dreams. Is it your job, relationships, or health that you want to change? Within you exists all the power you need to transform any life experience. Rest assured, there will be detractors along the way—flying monkeys, fields of sleep-inducing poppies, and green-faced witches that will appear when you least expect it. Whenever these challenges arise, remember to go back to the four-step approach above that started you off on your magical journey. You'll recognize a familiar, beautiful bright light that will gently guide you back to the yellow brick road. Remember, if happy little blue birds can fly over the rainbow, why then, oh why, can't I?
''Most people enter into relationships with an eye toward what they can get out of them, rather than what they can put into them. The purpose of a relationship is to decide what part of yourself you'd like to see "show up," not what part of another you can capture and hold. The purpose of a relationship is not to have another who might complete you; but to have another with whom you might share your completeness. ''
When someone is in your life for a REASON . . . It is usually to meet a need you have expressed. They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally, or spiritually. They may seem like a godsend, and they are! They are there for the reason you need them to be.
Then, without any wrong doing on your part, or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end.
Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away. Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand.
What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled, their work is done. The prayer you sent up has been answered. And now it is time to move on.
When people come into your life for a SEASON . . .Because your turn has come to share, grow, or learn.They bring you an experience of peace, or make you laugh. They may teach you something you have never done. They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy. Believe it! It is real! But, only for a season.
LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons; things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation. Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person, and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life. It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant.
"CHANGE" is a fact of life. It can not be avoided or denied. It will come. It does not need an invitation or permission. We understanding change does not necessarily destroy standards when the change is initiated by God. When it's "God change" it always means growth, development, and health. God knows best where we are and where we need to be and He as the ability to help us get there.
