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…

Motivation Monday!

It’s so important to live with purpose. Don’t get me wrong, it’s never easy to be excited for a Monday, but you have to give yourself something to look forward to. You should accept and enjoy the shitty parts of life (ie. work, school, Mondays) to truly enjoy all the fun events and memories that you get to make. When I’m feeling cranky about a 6am workout, I remind myself of all that I have and all that I have to look forward to. If I feel like a day at work is going to be extra exhausting I make…

Motivation Monday!

With any quote, my first thought is always did this person really say this? Either way, whether Maya said this or not it’s definitely something she stood for. Being successful isn’t having all the money in the world, or having the most power, real success gives you satisfaction in yourself. If you have to lie and steal everyday, but it contributes to your promotion, how would that feel? I personally couldn’t deal with it. I would rather make $10 an hour doing something I love than make $100 a hour doing something that eats at my soul. From experience, I’ll…
