Monday, Monday, so good to me... or is it? Through the years, many songs have been written and sung about this day of the week. Monday has gotten a bad reputation, hasn't it? Ugh- the start of the work week for many. Back to school for students after restful weekends. Meetings galore! At least, that's what Mondays usually look like for me. 

What if we all approached Mondays with a different attitude? If we looked at Mondays with stars in our eyes, would we feel differently? Would positivity follow us? Would we feel motivated to do our best and to share positivity and joy with those around us?

I have started focusing on motivational quotes on Monday mornings. Just reading one or two before I start my day really helps to shift my mindset and look at Monday as an opportunity to jump in with two feet! 

Here are a few of my favorite motivational quotes for Mondays...

“The sun himself is weak when he first rises; and gathers strength and courage as the day gets on.”       – Charles Dickens

“On my own, I will just create, and if it works, it works, and if it doesn’t, I’ll create something else. I don’t have any limitations on what I think I could do or be.” – Oprah Winfrey

“Don’t be intimidated by what you don’t know. That can be your greatest strength and ensure that you do things differently from everyone else.” – Sara Blakely

“It is never too late to be what you might have been.” – George Eliot

”The future depends on what you do today.” – Mahatma Gandhi

Where will Monday take me? I never really know. I do know that each day begins with a choice- to be positive or to let the negative things that pop up throughout the day rule over us. Which will you choose today?

Blessings on your week!
