Motivational Monday! Strength!!!

Motivational Monday!

Strength!!!

You have power over your mind, not outside events. Realize this and you will find your strength. ~Marcus Aurelius

Yesterday was easy! I achieved many steps in my plan to attain my goal! Today... Uhg! Nothing seems to be going right! And when I say nothing, I mean nothing! Have you ever had a day like that? Have you ever wanted to just throw in the towel and go back to bed? Have you ever snapped at a family member or friend that really did nothing to deserve it? Why? Ask yourself why? Is today really that different than yesterday? So, you didn't accomplish that step to get you closer to your goal. You now know what doesn't work and indeed, you are a step closer to accomplishing it tomorrow! That is success in my book. So why the frustration? What is going on inside you that yesterday you could take on the world and win and today, you feel like the world is crashing down on you? You can control you mind! You can decide if the failure you experienced today will sour your day or propel you forward tomorrow! 

Calm mind brings inner strength and confidence. ~Dalai Lama

Silence is a source of great strength... ~Lao Tzu

How do you maintain your strength? Where does it come from? How do you keep your mind focused on the positive? How do you keep your mind moving forward toward your goals? Everyone is a little different in how they stay focused. Some people take a few minutes of silence, some listen to music, and yet others exercise. Find what works for you and then remember to do it daily to maintain your focus. Take time to reflect, analyze and review your day. What worked? What didn't? Then adjust moving forward. 

Be faithful in small things, it is in them that your strength lies. ~Mother Teresa

Believe that you can accomplish your dreams! Believe that you can achieve your goals! Believe that you have the strength to do what you want in life! Focus on your goals/dreams and keep your mind strong and focused in that direction.  

Every Great Dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world. ~Harriet Tubman

Annnnd yes, I've been asked... "you're a Realtor, why are you writing a blog titled 'Motivational Monday'?" To answer the question... Over the years, I've run into many different people, all with very different personalities. I've found that people that have an optimistic and positive outlook on life are happier people. I want to do my part to empower others to be positive. I  want to do my part to empower others to believe in the power of affirmations. I want to do my part to help people believe in themselves again. I want to do my part to make the world a happier place... even if it's just for one person, I will have made a difference. 

Have a Blessed Week! Remember, Success is yours if you are willing to work for it!!!!
