MONDAY’S CUP OF MOTIVATION

MONDAY’S CUP OF MOTIVATION

This week is unlike any other.  What happens next is a mystery.  We can either stay in our safety net or we can step out on the edge and see and experience things we have never seen or experienced before.  Experiencing new things is what life is all about.  Instead of imagining the future or change, let’s live our lives today.  There are no passive happily ever after’s.  Things don’t magically happen while we wait.  We need to make things happen.  Imagine if we tried something new today.  Instead of the same old Monday routine, let’s change it up.  Let’s live a little today.  Safety is a natural need but we also need to live while we have this life.  We need to be creating new life experiences as we grow older.  Let’s not look back on the past with regret.  Let’s not wish we had done something.  There is no time like the present.  What are we waiting for?  Let’s not look to the future as the days when life will be great and we will take those vacations.  Imaginary vacations we plan in the future are always perfect in our heads but they don’t make lasting memories  We are only guaranteed right now so let’s really live today.  Life is what we choose to make of it.  There is a huge world out there and we have not seen very much of it.  It’s summer time.  Let’s make sure we go somewhere new.  Take lots of pictures and create the memories that will last a lifetime.  Just don’t forget to back those pictures up.  Have a phenomenal week.

ENCOURAGEMENT…

My Comfort Zone
Unknown

I used to have a comfort zone
where I knew I wouldn’t fail.
The same four walls and busywork
were really more like jail.

I longed so much to do the things I’d never done before,
But stayed inside my comfort zone and paced the same old floor.

I said it didn’t matter that I wasn’t doing much.
I said I didn’t care for things like commission checks and such.
I claimed to be so busy with the things inside the zone,
But deep inside I longed for something special of my own.

I couldn’t let my life go by just watching others win.
I held my breath; I stepped outside and let the change begin.
I took a step and with new strength I’d never felt before,
I kissed my comfort zone goodbye and closed and locked the door.

If you’re in a comfort zone, afraid to venture out,
Remember that all winners were at one time filled with doubt.
A step or two and words of praise can make your dreams come true.

Reach for your future with a smile; success is there for you!
GREAT WORDS TO LIVE BY…

You know better than to kill an idea without giving it a chance to live. We set our sights high. That’s why we accomplish so many things. Now go back and try again.

Excuses are for people who don’t want it bad enough.

If you desire to make a difference in the world, you must be different from the world.

This week, let’s get out of our comfort zone!
