Wednesday Words - 11/25/2015 - Strength
Systems of Strength
Strength comes in a variety of forms and may be exemplified in all sorts of ways.Strength is defined as a good or beneficial quality or attribute of a person thing.
Imagine if you were comparatively weak in all forms and ways... That is pretty daunting as it make daily life quite a feat.
Strength of Character is, in my opinion, the most important aspect of a good person. The morals and values that constitute your character are what help you to determine what you do in situations and scenarios where you have an ethical dilemma.
Brute and muscular strength is important for physical challenges, defense, and establishing prowess among other human beings (and/or animals). Physical ability may help you demonstrate your evolutionary development, athletic ability, or whatever you may need it for.
Strength of will and determination is great to help you persevere through difficult times or over obstacles and challenges. I would place this as the second most important form of strength, because it enable you to have resiliency through life.
There are a number of varieties of strength and multiple ways you can find something that is strong within yourself, whether it be your character or your ability to write or your positive outlook. In order for you to find the best out of your life, you must find the best within yourself. This will enable you to build confidence in yourself and your traits. You will become able to react to life challenges and opportunities to hold on, persevere, sail away, counter, or whatever way you deem appropriate.
I challenge you voyagers in life to find your strength and through self-development become stronger. We always look up to super heroes for their strength, which is not because of their pure physical abilities (it doesn't hurt their admiration). We look up to theses comic book protagonists because they embody positive strength and strong traits aligned with the good side of life.
I challenge the voyagers to overcome something you might not have been able to conquer or survive in the past. Those small victories are immense achievements in the mortal world that we live in. Build upon those victories, they will become more grand in size and you will become more grandiose yourself.
Strength is developed over repetition and is built upon itself like a structure of masonry, the weight may be daunting but the reward is glorious. Let's become strong for ourselves and for each other. Let's see how grand we can build this wondrous world together.

Wednesday Words - 11/18/2015 - Appreciation
Appraisal of Appreciation
As usual, I begin a "Wednesday Words" definition of this week's word topic... "Appreciation.
Appreciation is the recognition and enjoyment of the good qualities of someone or something, or it may also be defined as the full understanding of a situation.
As Quintessential Voyage carries the importance of enjoying everything in life. Those people who you love, the places you enjoy, and the little things that delight you, take a moment and show appreciation for them. To acknowledge silent appreciation that you say to only yourself or to proclaim that appreciation with such volume, either manner will assign value to them providing it with immense worth.
In my life experiences, I have noticed that being appreciated for what I accomplished or for who I am carries tremendous impact to my ego and self-esteem. The best type of motivation is encouragement. I do not live off of reward for my job or my goals, the value is purely intrinsic to myself. When I reward the soldiers under my leadership or the college students who I have employed, both groups delight in receiving the appreciation and show a growth of pride in their work. Who doesn't want to be proud of what they do?
Appreciate all things. I challenge you to take a minute today and say a polite statement of appreciation to three things that you value. If you were to appraise appreciation, its worth and value would mean worlds more than you may think.
The glorious thing about life is that you can make each day the best you can. While time is limited you need to really enjoy and acknowledge all that you have to breathe for, all that makes you smile, and all that makes your heart glow with warmth.
Daily appreciation of your life is the ideal way to beautify, enhance, and take pride in your voyage of a lifetime.

Wednesday Words - 11/4/2015 - Progress
Process of Progress
Progress means to move onward towards a destination. Life is a journey. You move onward towards something bigger and better with each day, hour, minute. By comparing life to a journey, you may think that I mean your destination is death. You're wrong. Your journey leads you to a destiny or a purpose.
My high school football coach always used to say:
Each and every day, you get better or you get worse. You never stay the same.
Rise to the occasion each and every moment to progress yourself.
You may have a list of projects, one big task, or anything that requires a persistent effort, well do you know what it takes to complete them? The phrase "Do you know how to eat an elephant? One bite at a time." is the best representation of progress to achieve.
You must do more than what you have done to get you what you haven't yet received.
Progress takes place in many forms the small decisions, the extra effort, the short breath, a brief pause, big ideas, the list goes on. What do you do to progress?
Progress is a step in your voyage. What do you want your voyage to be? What part of your voyage is dictated to you? What part of your voyage do you get to decide?
What will you do to ensure you achieve that Quintessential Voyage?
