Monday Morning Mantra - 10/04

I just tweeted the following:  "if i'm not laughing, something's wrong.  enjoy what you do."  

I really mean that, my friends.  I try to find humor in any situation -- including my work.  Just because you're working hard to finish that project, make those good grades, or get that promotion doesn't mean you can't have fun.  We spend so much time working that we do ourselves (and those around us!) a disservice when we don't even crack a smile.

 

"If you could choose one characteristic that would get you through life, choose a sense of humor."

 

  -- Jennifer Jones 

 

I firmly believe that we should be able to laugh in any situation.  Laughter has healing powers.  It can immediately lift your spirits and the spirits of others.   

 

This week, try to laugh heartily every day - no matter what is happening around you.  See how great you feel at the end of the week.

Monday Morning Mantra - 05/03

Good Monday to you! 

Recently, I was listening to the radio while driving, and a woman was talking about the stress of trying to be the "perfect mother."  She said women can help each other out by being honest about their trials and frustrations as parents and not projecting a perfect image.  I thought this was awesome because the ideal of perfection can be really devestating in our homes and at work.  So I found this Mantra from Reese Witherspoon (who I really love) that tells us to chill out:

"I don't believe in perfection. I don't think there is such a thing. But the energy of wanting things to be great is a perfectionist energy." -- Reese Witherspoon

This week, remember that there is no such thing as perfection. Don't beat yourself up about something that is impossible to achieve. Want things to be great - not perfect.

Monday Morning Mantra - 4/26

Hey there!

This week's Mantra is for all of you entrepreneurs out there - or for anyone who is trying to complete a major project.  Ever wondered what is absolutely essential to success?  What do the accomplished business owners all have in their toolkit?  Here they are:

"The five essential entrepreneurial skills for success are concentration, discrimination, organization, innovation, and communication." -- Michael Faraday

This week, evaluate yourself in these five areas. How are you doing?

Monday Morning Mantra - 4/19

It's Mondaaaaaaay!

I hope you had an awesome weekend.  Here's this week's Mantra to get you revved up for the the days ahead!

"It doesn't matter if a million people tell you what you can't do, or if ten million tell you no. If you get one yes from God that's all you need." -- Tyler Perry

Sometimes the people we want to support us the most, just don't.  In my new book, The Gloriously Simple Guide to Getting What You Want, I talk about being our own cheerleader.  God is also our biggest cheerleader.  Are you listening to the "no's" in your life? This week, ignore what others say and listen to the most important voice when it comes to your dreams.
