Just another Motivation Monday!

There is nothing easy about working hard. Even if you love what you’re doing, it’s still a lot of hard work, time, dedication and sacrifice. Personally, I’m someone who doesn’t function well without a decent nights sleep. This is why it’s so important for me to budget my time accordingly. From 5:30am-11pm I’m constantly going. It’s not an easy thing to do; I’m tired a lot and I get cranky towards the people I love the most. Balance and scheduling are very important for success. Make time for fun things to look forward too while you’re working hard and not…

Happy Monday everyone! Today I want to challenge you to be thankful for what you have. It’s so easy to look at the things and experiences that other people have and compare them to yours. Everyone’s journey is so different. It’s also easy in the age of social media to assume everyone is so happy and has a better life than you. I’m guilty of doing this myself, every so often. I always try to remind myself of everything I’ve been given and everything I’ve worked for. After that I also remind myself that there are some people worse off…

Motivation Monday

This is definitely something I live by. There’s nothing I hate more than someone spewing bullshit to me, that they’re sorry or that they didn’t mean what they said or did, and then, THEN, ten minutes later they’re doing the same thing they just apologized for. I mean, WHAT?! I’m not sure why people do this, but it’s literally the easiest way for me to cut you off. Always watch what people do. I love being observant. If a man or woman, constantly tells you how much you mean to them, how much they love you, how they would give…

Motivation Monday!

I am the QUEEN of biting off more than I can chew. For as long as I can remember I’ve always been doing what others would call too much. Whether it was sports (aka cheerleading and gymnastics, did you think I actually did common sports? haha never – nothing else came as easy), after school activities, clubs, job(s), making time for my friends and family, working out, volunteering; I always did as much as I possibly could. I still do this today. Granted, I didn’t do all these things consecutively everyday, but spaced out over a lifetime it’s definitely a…

Motivation Monday

It’s so hard living in a world where people are so rude, nasty and miserable. We all have our days, but it seems they come more often now than in the past. Or maybe I just see it more now as I get older. I’m always so surprised when I go for a run or walk and some stranger says hi to me. Maybe it’s because I live in NY or that I’m genuinely surprised that someone would actually want to say hello. I always put in a solid effort these days to make others feel good. Wether it’s just…

Motivation Monday

Work ethic is necessary in today’s society, and not everyone has it. I’m a huge believer in positive thinking and the whole “ask, believe, receive” mantra, but I’ll also be the first to tell you that nothing is going to happen if you’re sitting on your ass. I don’t care who or what you know (obviously this is a part of being successful but definitely not everything), you have to work hard and put yourself out there. You constantly have to do things outside your comfort zone, because that’s where success is born. Don’t be the person who always calls…
