Motivational Monday

Good afternoon friends and family.

Motivational Monday is back!!!  I hope you are as pumped up as I am to get this week going and carry the positive attitude and positive momentum you left last week into this week that is upon us.  

This week’s message is a mixture of some of what I have shared with you already (maybe you missed it) and a few new messages.  I want to challenge you this week to go out and get what it is YOU want.  “If you want something, GO GET IT!” Pursuit of Happiness

You may not have realized so far that I love sports or maybe you have.  I have made every attempt to stay clear of them when looking for different motivational videos yet continue finding myself posting another clip with some form of athletics within them.   For me, the idea of athletics/team sports represents who I am and what I believe in.  This week’s video clip is marvelous.  It shows heart, determination, time, sacrifice, success stories, work ethic, and most importantly the importance of going and getting what it is you want for yourself! 

Sports may not be how you tick and that is great you recognize it.  There is a common goal that we both share however.  That is the ability to go out and get what it is you want.  You have the option to pursue a new career.  You are able to live a healthy lifestyle physically and mentally.  You have the talents to go out and start a new business.   You have tools necessary to lead.  You have the choice to be a better partner in your relationship.  You can earn respect from co-workers.  The list of things that YOU can go and get is endless.   What is on your list that you want?  It is your decision if you want something bad enough to go out and get it.

Warning: It isn’t easy.  It doesn’t come at a bat of an eye.  If it did, everyone would be doing it!  These things that you desire could take seconds, minutes, days, months, and possibly years to accomplish your end goal.  The ironic thing about goals is the feeling of exhaustion yet excitement when you accomplish them.  Wait…It gets better…It is at that moment that you celebrate that it is time to start a new goal.  Think about a champion or success stories that you have been a part of.  Think about something you really excelled in such as a job promotion or parenting.  Isn’t it funny how when you reach the pinnacle of what you have been striving for you immediately start to think about how you can repeat or do it better?  Please take time to relish in these opportunities that you go and get!  Put on your seat belt and push yourself for what it is you want to pursue this week and on.
