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!

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 Mondays

Audrey Hepburn- I'm Possible
Audrey Hepburn- I'm Possible

Audrey Hepburn is a role model for almost every girl out there. She has poise, grace, kindness, love, and a great sense of humor. She was also one of those Hollywood golden girls who did not have a terribly sad story but was able to do some amazing things. Taking out the whole acting thing, she was one of the first UN Peace Ambassadors and did a great deal for children's and human rights.

With everything that Audrey Hepburn dd in her life, it is no wonder that this is something she sincerely believed. And, on this Monday, I think all of us should believe it as well! Life gets rough sometimes, but we can each get through our not-so-great bits. We are possible and all the dreams, goals, and desires we have for ourselves are too!

Happy Monday :)

Motivation for Your Mondays

Mother Teresa

Well, this motivation is getting out a bit late, but better late than never. This week, I am going to be focusing a bit more energy on being kind and loving to all those around me. This quote is such a great reminder that without love, there really is nothing. It is often far easier for me to react in annoyance towards someone not meeting my expectations or desires. Silly isn't it? Especially since we all fail all. the. time. Myself included.

The world could use a bit more love and understanding and I hope to make my little bit of the world a bit better through love and compassion. There is a great passage in The Power of Positive Thinking that talks about how the people that pass through our lives. Their are many people who pass in and out of our lives that we will only see or talk to for a moment. Imagine how much better we could make the world if our goal was to be a positive influence on all those peoples' moments, days, and lives. There are many people that I can think of who I only knew for a moment, but have left an impact on me- some for good, some not.

Let's be the positive bit in someone's day and make our part of this Earth a bit better than we found it!
