Motivation Monday!

I’m a firm believer that failing and messing something up is the BEST learning experience you can have. And it’s not limited to work and school, it could be not going to the gym for a while, to forgetting to do something for a good friend. Anytime you make a mistake you are empowered to store that experience in the back of your head and move forward and make better decisions. You can’t appreciate sunshine without (a bitterly disgusting New York cold winter that just doesn’t want to leave) rain. This week I challenge you to embrace your mistakes and…

Motivation Monday!

I almost never stop. I have a full time job, a basically part-time job and my blog. I still find time for my family and friends and even sometimes the gym (that’s more of a struggle but I’ll still count it). Every morning I pop up ready to go, even on the weekends. I actually dislike sleeping in, I feel like I miss half the day when that happens. A lot of you may be asking, but how?? And thinking that I’m nuts (which is probably half true! haha). You’re going to end up sleeping 20 years anyway, why would…

Motivation Monday!

Truth. You get what you give. I personally need a lot of motivation to be positive and happy this Monday morning as I’m back in New York and there’s currently an Arctic freeze occurring. I thought this quote was widely appropriate, from me to you and also for me. Traveling alone made me realize there are a lot of great people left in humanity (I know that’s strange to hear but just listen for a second). While I was nervously but calmly twitching on the inside waiting at the airport, I encountered two women sitting near myself. One was traveling…

Motivation Monday!

BUT I’M TOO NEUROTIC TO LET GO OF CONTROL!!! Haha, sorry but it’s kind of true. Personally, it’s something I’m always working on and reminding myself, not everything has to work out in the way that I think it should. It’s so important to relax and take life day-by-day. Just because something doesn’t work out right the first time, doesn’t mean it won’t work out perfectly in the future. Jobs, friends, relationships, will all work out the way that they should. The great thing about failures is what you learn, and they mean they you’re trying. Everything works out the…

Motivation Monday!

Happy last Motivation Monday of 2014!! Since I’ve finished college in 2013, I swear the years go by faster and faster. The quote I choose today 100% relates to my physical status right now. I literally feel like I’m going to vom and have been off (what I call sick when I don’t want to admit I’m getting sick) all day. I didn’t feel like doing anything today (or even right now) but I push myself to do what I need to do. In order to be successful you need to be willing to always do what you have to…

Motivation Monday!

Always stand by your friends and family while they struggle. I’ve always appreciated my friends that have stood by me through difficult times. Being a 20-something, I’m always working, going to school (done for now thank god) and in general always doing something, so the people who understand this and stand by me have always been the ones I appreciate the most. When you’re working hard it’s difficult to give the little time you have to every single person. As a friend or family member, be understanding. Lose the wining assholes who keep complaining that you don’t see them enough…
