Motivation Monday!

I think everyone fights this fight at some point in their life. Do you take the leap and follow your dreams or do you keep doing what’s in your comfort zone? Although change is uncomfortable, I think the best way to initiate change is exactly as this quote states, “tip toe.” If you’re dyeing your hair, you don’t go from black to blonde in one appointment at the salon, you do it slowly over time. (Unless you live on the edge and have the balls to dye your hair all at once and have no worries of it all falling…

Motivation Monday!

Although I’m one to sometimes want everything given to me, I happy that it’s not so. It’s so easy to have everything handed to you, everything paid for. Last week I talked about building character. Working hard for everything builds character, struggling and earning things on your own, builds character. So why in the world would I want everything to be easy? To be given everything? The truth is, I don’t want that and you shouldn’t either. Am I still going to complain about it? Of course I am. Complain, whine, breakdown and then let it go. No one is going…

Motivation Monday!

The best thing you can do for yourself is push yourself. Physically, mentally, creatively, socially, push yourself to do anything that you don’t think you can do. Character is built when you’re working your hardest, not when you’re giving up or taking the easy way out. And if those reasons aren’t enough, trust me when I tell you that pushing yourself, and accomplishing something new is one of the best feelings. This blog for me is something that I push myself to do. I’m always making time, giving up my time, scheduling, prioritizing, organizing ect. pushing myself to do my best…

Motivation Monday!

Today’s inspirational quote to start the week is about always being yourself. In today’s society it’s so easy to conform to norms, to buy what everyone else is buying and do what everyone else is doing. Let’s be real, it’s why everyone who had an upgrade on their phone went out and stood on a line or pre-ordered an iPhone 6. It’s more challenging to be different. Just because you like something and someone else doesn’t, it is not a bad thing. You don’t need everyone to like you and in fact, even if you try your hardest, everyone still won’t…

Motivation Monday!

This weekend I was lucky enough to be off both Saturday and Sunday, which only happens once a month. I love having two jobs + my blog (which is not a job because my heart is always here, I truly love this). My point of this being, I love running into pleasant, happy and kind strangers. With two days off, I did a lot of blog prep and running around. Sunday I went shopping with my mom and we met a woman in the dressing room. She was asking our opinion on clothes and was just so nice. Living in…

Motivation Monday!

You know when something just speaks to you? That was this quote. You cannot appreciate the good that you have in your life without the pain, struggle and heartache. Darkness is such a beautiful gift. I swear by the fact that people who have had everything given to them and have never had to deal with anything, CANNOT truly understand how good your soul feels when things are good. When shit is bad, say your in-between jobs, struggling with money, struggling in your relationships, death, dealing with betrayal – it sucks, its depressing, painful and it just plain sucks. The…
