Monday Morning Mantra 07/26 (Okay, this is really bad!)

I'm looking for the thief who is stealing my time!  Have you seen him!?  :)

Somehow this week completely slipped by me, and I can't believe I'm posting about our Mantra for the week on Thursday.  Yikes!  This is a good time to mention that if you're on our e-mail list, you'll receive our Mantras every Monday morning in your Inbox - no matter what!  (Sign up here)


Even though it's a bit late, our Mantra this week from J-Lo reminds us that our effort is directly proportionate to our returns:

"You get what you give. What you put into things is what you get out of them." --  Jennifer Lopez

We all want things in life, but few people are willing to work hard for them.  If you're frustrated about not getting very far in terms of reaching your dreams, could it be because you're not putting very much work in?  


I hope this Mantra gives your Friday a boost!  ;)

Have an awesome weekend!   Nicole

Monday (Tuesday) Morning Mantra - 07/19

Computer problems and not enough hours in the day prevented me from posting about our Mantra for the week yesterday.  So sorry!  Please find below our inspiration for the week from singer Taylor Swift, whom I really like (and so does my daughter!).

"No matter what happens in life, be good to people. Being good to people is a wonderful legacy to leave behind."

  --  Taylor Swift

There will be good days and there will be bad days, but no matter what's happening around you, be good to people.  Don't let your circumstances cause you to treat people poorly.  You will leave behind an amazing legacy when you shine brightly despite the darkest circumstances. 

This week, make an effort to treat people kindly no matter what.

Monday Morning Mantra - 07/12

Happy Monday!  

Monday marks a new opportunity to do great things.  You have a whole week ahead of you to make strides in reaching your goals.  How awesome is that?!  

So this week we're concentrating on living dangerously - okay not riding motorcycles without helmets or eating exotic foods.  We're talking about not playing it safe.  Check it out:

 

 "The person who goes farthest is generally the one who is willing to do and dare. The sure-thing boat never gets far from shore."  --  Dale Carnegie

 

Are you on the "sure-thing boat" when it comes to doing things in life?  Are you willing to dare and push the envelope?  The most fulfilling and rewarding experiences are those that you never thought possible. 

This week, identify something you never thought you'd be able to do and take the first step toward making it happen. "

Monday Morning Mantra - 07/05

Happy Fourth of July!  Many of you are probably off of work today, but we all need some inspiration to get us through the rest of the week!  :)

Today's Mantra is from NBA-great Shaquille O'Neal who probably knows a thing or two about goal achievement and discipline!  

 

"Excellence is not a singular act, but a habit. You are what you repeatedly do." -- Shaquille O'Neal

 

We often live in denial about our habits.  We say we're a studious person, but we rarely study.  We say we're kind and loving, but we have a habit of yelling at people.  We say we're on our way to achieving our goal, but we don't work very hard at it each day.  Your daily actions say a lot about who you are. 

This week, ask yourself if your daily habits are in line with the person you want to be and the goals you're trying the achieve.

Fear Busting Tips From You

Last week I sent out our June newsletter "The Worst Four Letter Word," and we got a great response from people since it discussed a topic we can all relate to:  FEAR (get your mind out of the gutter!).  In addition to talking about what fear can do to our lives, I asked readers to send me their fear-busting tips, and here's a great one that I received:

"One way I overcome my fear is to Just Do It in fear.  Joyce Meyer talks about doing it in fear in her book [The] Confident Woman."  -- Kenyari Guy www.wehope.org

I love the idea of pushing through the fear to accomplish something.  Even if you're afraid, do it anyways!

I haven't read this book, but I plan to.  Here's a link to it on Amazon:  http://www.amazon.com/Confident-Woman-Living-Boldly-Without/dp/0446531987

Thanks for checking out the newsletter, and keep your tips coming!  If you have any other fear-busting tips, post them below!
