Motivation for Your Monday

by Jenni in Lifestyle


Keep Going
Keep Going

Happy Monday! I hope you have some fun plans this Valentine's Day week! If you are still looking for last minute gifts, be sure to check out our gift list for the yogi and the runner in your life. 

As for motivation, this week we are getting back into the motivation for your Monday spirit with this running quote from some unknown runner that I am so happy said something great! Even if you are not a marathoner, half marathoner, or runner at all, this quote can mean something. In life, there are days that we do not know if our goals are attainable, but then, if we are wise, we keep going and we get it. Sure, there will be moments of doubt in any pursuit of any goal. Keep going through that doubt; you will have moments of discomfort, but a lifetime of reward.

Keep going for those goals, aspirations, and dreams. Reach high. I believe in you and know you can get it!

Motivation for Your Mondays

Isn't this quote so true! One of my goals in life is to be welcoming to everyone I meet, to have them feel at ease and at home when they are around me. There is the saying, it's not the words, it's the music. I feel like that is exactly what Maya Angelou was saying in this quote. Words are so important, and what is often more important than the word is the meaning we give behind it.

I do not believe in the saying that words will never hurt me. Words can do a great deal of damage and they can also do a great deal of healing. This is a reminder that what we say and how we treat all people matters. A great challenge for this week would be to try and leave every person happier than you found them. Happy Monday and happy week!

Motivation for Your Monday

Aristotle

Happy Monday! I hope your weekend was absolutely fantastic! We were able to spend lots of time with family that we do not usually see and, meet my Mom's new dog. I also ate a banana fosters waffle that was incredible. Some day, I will remember to take a picture of yummy foods before stuffing them into my face. Yesterday was not that day.

I also received a certain gold iPhone 6 on Friday, so that was pretty great too!! Get ready, there is sure to be a review of it and a few apps for it on the blog pretty soon. So far though, I love it. It is waaay lighter than previously thought and super pretty... Other than the back, still not a fan. Now, let's get to that inspiration!

This week for our inspiration we have a quote from Aristotle that I came across yesterday, randomly, while looking at an app. My original thought was to have a completely different quote for a completely different purpose, but that one can wait until next week to finish off this month's Monday motivations.

This one is so true and something that is so easy for me to forget. Habits define us, for the good and for the bad. We all have them and, sometimes, changing them is harder than changing most areas of our life. But, as John Maxwell said, "If you want want you've never had, you must do what you've never done". Yet another great quote that can inspire us to keep going, even when the going gets tough. I hope you are able to achieve all your goals for this week and get this done!

Happy Monday! And, if you missed it, here is Friday's post all about those we love, especially those incredible grandparents we are all so blessed to have.

Disney Inspiration

This quote by Walt Disney is almost always on the fences separating new work projects from the visitor area at Disney World. It is also one of my favorite Disney quotes and another at the front of my daily planner. Actually, this quote was the foundation of this blog.

Hopefully, this quote will help all of us (including my super sleepy self) get up and get this Monday done! What are some of your favorite quotes from Walt Disney?
