Motivation Monday!

Sacrifice is what Mondays are made of. As we all wake up to go to school or work, we sacrifice our time and most importantly sleep to do what we think is right. You may have studied or relaxed this weekend to be prepared for a test or presentation. You may have worked six days in a row to earn an extra day off. We all constantly make sacrifices in order to live the best life possible. So, as you drag your ass out of bed this morning, remember that this is all serving a purpose. If you don’t sacrifice…

Motivation Monday!

When I tell people all the different things I dabble in, I always get this look. This why are you doing so many different things look. (ie. HR, retail, my blog). The truth is, I don’t think we’re all meant to be just one thing or live just one life, especially when it comes to a career. Just because you feel like you’re at a shitty job now, doesn’t mean you’ll be there forever, especially if you don’t let yourself be there. Just because you graduate with a degree in Finance, doesn’t mean you can’t work with kids. I always…

Monday Motivation!

I’m very lucky that early on my Mom told me that not every one is going to like me. I’ve always lived my life totally ok with the fact that there are people that will just not like me, there are people who won’t want to be my friend and will only wish the worst for me – and that’s ok. I’ve also met a lot of people who can’t deal with that fact. I couldn’t imagine having to learn that lesson in my 20s. My advice on this is simple, fuck people who aren’t on your wavelength. If you’re…

Monday Affirmation

Personally, I sometimes feel lost in all my passions. It happens from time-to-time. In college, it was declaring my major and deciding what school to transfer to (depending on said major choice). After college, it would be deciding what jobs to look for to start my career path. I always like to have a plan and a direction, but sometimes I let all my fire get me. Sometimes I’m lost and I can’t make a decision (Libra probs) and other times when I finally decide my direction (it takes a lot of over analyzing/obsessing on my part) I’m more driven…

Motivation Monday! Where do you see yourself in 5 years?

Think about this, in 5 years you can be doing something TOTALLY different than what you think you’ll be doing in 5 years right now. (FYI I HATE that interview question, and I’ll always go with CEO, hashtag sorry not sorry LOL) I don’t think any one person is meant to be just one thing. I love meeting people who when to school for anthropology who are now working in a hospital, the people who swore they would be a dentist when they were 15. It’s doesn’t matter what you choose to do, as long as every time you choose,…

Motivation Monday!

If this is not the most perfect quote for any given Monday, then I don’t know what is. I’m sure the Monday struggle is so real right now, and there’s not much to make you happy or look forward to, but you’re always going to have days like that. Today you just have to take the little wins (like remembering yesterday to buy sugar or milk for your coffee this morning) and really appreciate them. Appreciating the small things on a shitty day makes all the difference. Really enjoy the fact that you remembered to do your laundry so you…
