Motivation Monday!

It’s a fact of life that not every one is nice, not everyone has empathy and not everyone thinks before they speak. Sometimes good kind people even say something they don’t mean or out of anger. When we feel judged, picked on, targeted and just in the crossroads of someone having else a bad day, we get upset and our feelings get hurt. Don’t let these experiences make you think any less of yourself. I personally found this to be extremely true when applying for jobs. There’s nothing worse than someone telling you exactly WHY they’re deciding not to hire you.…

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…

Motivation Monday

Let’s just be realistic for a second, Monday definitely needs all the help it can get. Not an easy day to start and not an easy day to get through, Monday sets the tone for the week ahead. It’s so important to be aware this morning on how you set your tone for the week. Before you get up, just think about all the good you do have in your life. It helps put the week into perspective. It’s always hard dealing with other people on a Monday. They’re just not as happy, not as excited and pleasant as they…

Motivation Monday!

Good morning! I thought this was a good metaphor for some of the things that happen to us throughout out lives. You always get pulled back a little before something really good happens. This quote also reminds us to be patient and to remember that anything that’s going on right now that may be difficult, is not permanent. Start your week off right and keep aiming for all the things you want out of life. If the present isn’t good, don’t dwell on it! Nothing’s ever perfect so just enjoy life for what it is. Have a very happy Monday…

Motivation Monday!

Navigating the world as a 20-something is no easy task. I think this quote is right where my heads at, personally, this Monday. It’s not easy after college to decide exactly what you want to do, or exactly what you’ll be good at. There’s always a handful of people who know exactly what they want to do, which makes everything all the more frustrating. What’s helped me is this exactly, blogging, who knew? Being young you may not LOVE going to work everyday or love exactly what your doing, but it’s important not to ignore what you like to…

Motivation Monday!

Sometimes its so hard to take the bad with the good. No matter how blessed I’ve been throughout my life, when unideal situations arise and I’m struggling, it’s not easy to wake up everyday and say I accept this challenge or this lesson. Thank you for bringing me challenges in my life, for I know they will make me better. That’s a hard statement, especially when you’re going through a rough time. It’s even harder when you’ve personally made a mistake. I always try to be as positive as possible when things don’t go my way. I’ll admit it’s hard…
