Motivational Monday #296: Keep in the Moment

 There are many distractions that call out our name for attention. Not all are bad by any means, but it many not be the time. I want to encourage all of us to stay present int he moment, don't miss what is in front of you or who is. What is present there or who is present there is for a reason. 

Staying in the moment helps prevent us from dwelling on what may be in our past or worrying about the future. The future doesn't have one key ingredient to it; that ingredient is you. Don't take the key ingredient of you from the present, it needs you, they may need you.

Motivational Monday #294: Changing or Choosing?

Image
  This one hit this weekend. I overheard a conversation and that was the advice that was shared. I have heard the saying before, but it simmered a bit more this time.  It was a reminder that if we are not actively seeking to change something we are not satisfied with, then we are inversely choosing it by inaction. I don't think that all the actions need to be large, swift or paramount though. They could be thoughtful, small & impactful as well.  It's about taking responsibility, 100% responsibility for who & where we are. Then giving it our very best pursuit. Best can look different day to day, &  perfection is not attainable. The two things we control every day is our attitude & our effort.  My encouragement for today is to CHOOSE to pursue your potential; the best version of yourself.

Motivational Monday #276: Be Better Than Our Best Excuses

Image
  Our neighbor Hard isn't going to be moving away anytime soon & if we run away from that neighbor that ironic thing is they will already be waiting or will move in shortly after getting settled in another neighborhood. We don't escape hard; we line up head to head with hard & overcome. Tame hard & make it our ally. Hard can come in many forms. It can be loud, obvious & in our faces. Loud can also be a whisper, blending in & in the background.  Do not let Hard be the reason you don't go for it. You can overcome it. All things are figure-out-able. We have heard it many times, we can have excuses or we can have results, but we can't have both.   Tell yourself & believe that you can do it. You can do it with who you are or who you are growing to be. You CAN.

Motivational Monday #273: Take One Step

Image
  Take One Step...Forward Feeling stuck? Take one step forward.  Feeling super motivated? Take one step forward. Progress, not perfection.  Once you get moving forward, even if slightly the chains of doubt & fear will loosen. Once they are loose you can then go forward at the pace, towards your goals at any speed you choose.  The hardest step is step number one. After that one keep going. Celebrate forward in the direction you have chosen. It will not always be easy, but it will always be worth it. Why? Because you are worth it.  Take that one step on the journey your are beginning, returning to or are in the middle of.
