"Remembering the Times You Could Have Quit but You Hit Continue"

The video below is called  "Instruction on a Bad Day" ... I thought it was GREAT and wanted to share. I love how its real! "Remembering the Times You Could Have  Quit but You Hit Continue" was a line in the video that I thought was so dynamic ... did I mention how much I enjoyed this video ... 
* I included quotes below from the video  

I don't know about you but when life is uncomfortable I don't want to hear WHACK cliches, half of a scripture, social media self-proclaimed life coaches posting things for "likes" ...  I need something REAL! I want to hear how you made it, I want to hear something with substance, adding to my life.

"If today is as bad as it gets understand that tomorrow, today is over"

I first saw the video on www.upworthy.com (I'm not affiliated with them in any way just giving kudos where its due) and I really like it mainly because it s about something .. investing in people! Don't get me wrong "ratchet" tv, fun times, and sporting all have their time but I believe there's more to this thing called life with a greater meaning. I'm so over the "social media life" where people post only the best, telling half the story, and nothing seems genuine ...motivation seems to be the acceptance of others. We are REAL people, going through REAL life situations, in need of REAL solutions. 

"Life is going to come at you with hard times and tough choices , your voice is your weapon" 

The same way that I seek encouragement from various sources I want to be a source as well, I feel its my duty. That's why I appreciate the site so much ... it uses Social Media and all kinds of technology to bring important issues to light and brighten someone's day. 

"Scrape away every dark cloud trying to blind us from the truth... truth that whether we see it or not, the sun and moon are there, ALWAYS" 



Thanks for reading, have a great day!

Hi I'm Shekinah- The Motivator ... George Bernard Shaw Life Motto

 Hey I'm Shekinah (Shu Ki nah)  :-) ... the Motivator 


I decided to start a blog because in my own pursuits of dreams and goals and just life period I find myself in need of motivation or encouragement of some kind. I scan Facebook, feverishly watch videos on YouTube, have convos with friends, Google all kinds of things ... whatever necessary to get me going. A couple years ago I started sending "monday motivations" to friends and loved ones and I thoroughly ENJOY it.  I want to share the wealth .
I refuse to be alive, suck up air on this earth and not make a difference, or affect change of any kind. Its my belief that EVERY life has a purpose and I want to fulfill mine and I'd like to encourage YOU to fulfills yours. Life is a grand opportunity!

 The motto I live by is EXACTLY summed up by George Bernard Shaw when he says: 

This is the true joy in life, the being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one; the being a force of nature instead of a feverish, selfish little clod of ailments and grievances complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy.

I am of the opinion that my life belongs to the whole community, and as long as I live it is my privilege to do for it whatever I can.

I want to be thoroughly used up when I die, for the harder I work the more I live. I rejoice in life for its own sake. Life is no "brief candle" for me. It is a sort of splendid torch which I have got hold of for the moment, and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to future generations.
George Bernard Shaw
