I hope your day today is FULL of love!
The best way to ensure that is going to happen?
Dispense a plethora of it upon others, I promise you will receive it back in doubles 🙂
Have a lovely Monday!

Inspiration or motivation?
We need both inspiration and motivation to fulfill our goals.
Inspiration is the coal-fire, slow burn, our “why” that fuels our drive.
Motivation on the other hand is like a bonfire, strong push to create a change quickly, to push us forward.
The key difference is that if we only focus on motivation, it will burn strong, but then burn out (new years resolutions are a great example of this fact).
We need the slow, steady burn of inspiration to fuel our motivational bursts to truly get us to where we want to go.
Burn on my friends!

What CREATES Happiness?
This book is great!
I read this excerpt this morning and thought I should share. Many people have ideas of what can create happiness (better job, wealth, losing weight, health) but research shows that these events have little effect on lasting happiness.
The book discusses the fact that we are in fact, in control of our own happiness.
I highly recommend the book!

Contribute to your happiness by contributing to others
When we contribute, give, show compassion to others, we actually change our internal chemistry for the better.
The act of giving creates a ple thora of positive/feel good hormones to be released in our own bodies as well as in those of the receiver.
So when you give to others, you give to yourself 🙂
Happy Monday!

STORMY?
Show up
“Show up to give.”-Simon Sinek
It’s a bit ironic (not channeling Alanis Morissette, don’t worry) that the quickest route to happiness lies in helping others become happy? The direct route to receiving lies in giving?
Try to spread some joy today. Give love. Smile. Spread cheer.
And be awed with the exponential amount of all the above you receive 🙂
Happy Thursday!

PASSION IS THE RESULT
“WHAT MOST PEOPLE DON’T UNDERSTAND IS THAT PASSION IS THE RESULT OF ACTION, NOT THE CAUSE OF IT.”-Mark Manson
Too often, we sit back, searching for our passion to drive us.
In reality, when we get a spark, and ignite into action, we will find our passion rekindled.
Get busy doing something, start small, a small nudge of creativity can lead to a big push of passion!
Happy Tuesday!

Thank you Ashley for sharing this today!
We are in the midst of a lot of changes…
A change of seasons, a change of weather, a change of schedules (full bore into school/sports, etc), a change of procedures at work, etc.
Change is truly the only constant in life.
In order to become our ideal selves, to live our ideal lives, to have the biggest impact on our world, we must embrace change and in fact, we must look to create change.
Nothing improves by complacency.
Embrace all the changes around you, because within change lies infinite possibilities!
Get changin’!
Happy Wednesday!

Plan of Attack
Thank you for sharing, Jessica!
We are working on this as a group, we’ve always had daily/weekly checklists, but we are re-vamping them so we have a better plan of attack to our days.
They work wonders!
Always good to know what comes next and to ensure you are getting done what you want to get done!
-Happy Tuesday!
