Motivation Monday

Even if you had a horrible week last week, at school, work, what-have-you, it is important to get up and get back on the horse! The worst thing you can do is quit and run in the other direction. People will always respect you for trying again. The only time you’re held to your mistakes and failures is when you run away from them. Today I challenge you to let your past mistakes go and trudge forward, full force! And even if you don’t feel like a winner just yet, keep going back and keep trying. All your perseverance will,…

Motivation Monday!

This is always the motive! I don’t know if it’s just me, but I’ve always wanted to change and impact the world in a significant way. Everyday I want to do good, and teach mankind how to be kind and un-judgmental. I also have a full-time job, part-time job and my Blog. Do you know what it’s like trying to plan my life out, and making sure I keep myself happy?! It’s no easy feat. It would be amazing to make positive changes that impact the world, but to also have fun while doing it. It’s so important to make…

Motivation Monday!

We all go through hard times, we all have scares. This quote really inspired me because sometimes it’s hard to make sense of why horrible things happen to us. Why me? Why this? Why now? I don’t know if there’s ever a right answer to these questions, but know that because of this nothing can break us. Today, I am thankful for everything that I’ve gone through and everything that I will go through, as it always makes me stronger. I chose to become stronger, kinder and more acceptive of others. If you’re going through something difficult, know that you’re…

Motivation Monday!

In each stage of my life thus far, I’ve learned to take things less and less personal. First, it was in elementary school, I learned not to take it personal if someone didn’t want to be my friend. In high school, I learned not to take it personal, if a teacher or coach got upset with my class or team. Today, I continue to learn not to take it personal, if someone doesn’t want to collaborate with me or join my team at work. It’s a beautiful thing when you realize it’s not always about you. I don’t think I…

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!

So if you haven’t guessed or observed, I can be overly dramatic sometimes. Just last week I was ready to have a mental breakdown, while complaining to my mother via text, about working. I have a full time job, a part time job and my blog. And I quote myself “I would rather work six days a week because then I don’t get to remember what it’s like to be happy and enjoy myself.” Now I can say this to myself, shut the F up Simone, YOU’RE NUTS. I’m also laughing as I write this. Sometimes I just can’t even…
