Monday Motivational Message!

MONDAY’S CUP OF MOTIVATION:

History has seen many great leaders.  There are leaders and there are those who lead.  Leaders have authority.  Those who lead believe in a cause and others take that cause and make it their own.  They lead by example.  We follow them not because we have to but because we want to.  Some of the most inspiring people we will ever meet in our lives will never win a Nobel prize or make the newspaper.   They are in our everyday lives.  They will lead by example.  It does not take authority to lead.  A single mom working two jobs who still finds time to take her children to soccer practice.  That is an amazing example of someone who leads.  Her children will have arole model when they grow up.  We can leave an amazing legacy for those around us if we strive to be the best we can be.  We are but a moment of sunlight so let’s make sure our light shines so bright that it illuminates all those around us.  Let’s let our actions speak louder than words.  Remember, If you are good enough to be talked about, other people will do it for you.  This week, be a friend, help someone in need and choose to be someone who leads.  The world will be a better place because of it.  Have a phenomenal week!

ENCOURAGEMENT CORNER…

It Only Takes A Moment

It only takes a moment
to reach out to be a friend,
but to the one who needs you
the memory never ends.

A simple act of kindness
to a person you don’t know
may plant a seed of friendship
that for them will always grow.

We sometimes lose perspective
of the difference we can make,
when we care more of our giving
and care less of what we take.

So remember that your actions
may help change a life someday.
Always think about the person
that you meet along the way.

For it only takes a moment
to reach out to be a friend,
but to the one who needs you
the memory never ends.

EXTRA ENCOURAGEMENT…

Thoughts to Think About:

Many people will walk in and out of your life,
But only true friends will leave footprints in your heart.

To handle yourself, use your head;
To handle others, use your heart.

Anger is only one letter short of danger.

If someone betrays you once, it is their fault;

If he betrays you twice, it is your fault.

Great minds discuss ideas;

Average minds discuss events;
Small minds discuss people.

He who loses money, loses much;
He who loses a friend, loses much more;
He who loses faith, loses all.

Beautiful young people are accidents of nature,
But beautiful old people are works of art.

Learn from the mistakes of others.
You can’t live long enough to make them all yourself.

WORDS TO LIVE BY…

Everyone can rise above their circumstances and achieve success if they are dedicated to and passionate about what they do.

Nelson Mandela
Laughter is timeless, imagination has no age, dreams are forever.

Walt Disney

As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands, one for helping yourself, the other for helping others.

Audrey Hepburn

Good or bad, just smile.  You have a lot to be thankful for.

There are times to let things happen, and times to make things happen. Now is that time. You will either make things happen, watch what happens, or wonder what happened.
Dan Millman from No Ordinary Moments 

We waste so many days waiting for the weekend.  So many nights wanting the morning.  Our lust for future comfort is the biggest thief of life.
Joshua Glenn Clark

There’s always something good coming.  Remember that.

J. Evelyn
