Motivational Monday - Guest Blogger Amber P.

Good Monday morning lovely sisters! While Lindsay is away on a MUCH deserved vacation/family visit, she has asked me to guest post on today’s Motivational Monday. There are few things in life I love more than a good, optimistic, smack you in the forehead quote to start a week. A gentle reminder that each new week is a new opportunity to do that one (or several) things you have in your mind to take on. Whether big or little, those opportunities are some of the most beautiful things about being present in your own life. 

After college I worked in a law firm that liked to sell themselves as progressive (as progressive as Insurance litigators can get, I suppose!). Each Monday morning we would gather in the conference room and have our weekly pow wow. One of the partners would start the meeting with a quote that spoke to them and they would then spend the next thirty minutes showing all of the firm how it applies. I remember one of these quotes in particular, it is the quote I hold on to and led to be eventually quit that job and seek out my passion.

How true is that? How many times do we accept things as they are because well, we are on the right track? We are paying the bills, we are picking the kids up from school, we eat dinner as a family. All great, important stuff! But what about that other little something your heart desires? What about those little goals we all have that if we reached would basically make our heads explode from the sheer joy of it all? Shouldn’t we be working on that too? So, on today’s Motivational Monday, I want you all to do one little thing to move your goal down the track. Is it something “small” like incorporating vegetables into your daily meals or something “huge” like creating that business plan? Whatever it is, do it! We only have one lifetime, shouldn’t we be doing everything we can to make it the best one ever? Be present, take charge, and don’t let the train of life run you over while you overthink your dreams! Those dreams were given to you for a reason! Chase them!
