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…

Monday Vibes

Crazy isn’t really a PC term in today’s day, but just hear me out. I personally think I’m crazy in the sense that I never take no for an answer or that I’m always thinking of a different way to do something or to do anything spontaneously. I’m constantly challenging people and ideas and I’ll stand up to anyone which is definitely not the norm so I guess I’m a little crazy. I’m also occasionally irrational and bat shit crazy. So what?! I’m also totally calm and rational in high anxiety situations. Today I challenge you to dive out of…

Monday Affirmation

This is definitely easier said than done, but it’s something I try to practice everyday. I wake up and remind myself to be thankful for each day. It’s hard enough going through a routine and doing the same things over and over again, it’s another thing to actually enjoy what you’re doing. Committing to being happy each day (over time) does actually work. You end up in this habit of happiness instead of complaining and crankiness. Today I challenge you to choose to be happy and to live in the moment of today. You deserve to enjoy each day and…

Monday Musings

Persistence, tenacity, hustle, ambition – key traits that one must possess to be the best they can be. You can be the most naturally talented artist, but that doesn’t matter if that’s not what you want. But – if you’re naturally talented at something (or even if you’re not) I’m a firm believer in manifesting anything your heart desires into your life. If you want something bad enough, and you work hard for it, you can have anything in the world (I will re-confirm this once I get my spacious NYC apartment). If you want to be the best accountant…

Monday Vibes

I love starting off the week with good vibes. It’s Monday, we’re all cranky – I need at a minimum two cups of coffee before I’m of sound mind – and I get it, who wants to be nice and/or in a good mood at 8am Monday morning? Really no one. Who wants to deal with cranky people? Nobody! So here’s my Monday advice, vibes, motivation what have you, be kind. Even if you’re cranky, remember that you never know what other people are going through. If someone had a horrible morning that you didn’t even know about, why would…

Motivation Monday!

Sacrifice is what Mondays are made of. As we all wake up to go to school or work, we sacrifice our time and most importantly sleep to do what we think is right. You may have studied or relaxed this weekend to be prepared for a test or presentation. You may have worked six days in a row to earn an extra day off. We all constantly make sacrifices in order to live the best life possible. So, as you drag your ass out of bed this morning, remember that this is all serving a purpose. If you don’t sacrifice…
