GOOD MONDAY MORNING EVERYONE!
Will post my usual morning post sometime later, but wanted to make sure I got our
MOTIVATIONAL MONDAY done early in the morning, so here's my contribution for MM, there's 2 of them to read today-both good
MOMENTUM IN YOUR FAVOR
Those who complain the most bring upon themselves the most things about which to complain. Those who praise and rejoice the most end up finding and experiencing the most things about which they can rejoice.
Experience is driven by expectations, and expectations are formed through experience. Once you're on a particular path, whether positive or negative, it can become largely self-perpetuating.
That's the power of momentum. You enjoy a small accomplishment, and the positive satisfaction it gives you sets you up for an even bigger and better accomplishment, which further increases the positive momentum.
Small things can make a big difference, because even the small things define the direction of your momentum. When you're thankful and joyous about the modest successes, they begin to build into bigger successes.
Because negative momentum can be just as strong, it often takes a lot of effort to make even the smallest move in a positive direction. Yet it is worth all the effort, because even with that small move you have effectively turned the power of momentum in your favor.
Once momentum is moving in your direction, you begin to get more and more positive results from each effort. Start small, get momentum working for you, and there's no limit to how far you can go.

REACH HIGH
Even a small effort can change your momentum from negative to positive. But why settle for just a small effort?
When life seems overwhelming, dig in and go to work. When there's a lot to be done, there's also a lot that can be accomplished. When the challenges are difficult and complicated, that's your opportunity to create enormous value. When the situation is tough, that's your chance to grow stronger.
A quick look in the mirror will confirm something you may have forgotten about. Namely, you are designed and equipped to positively thrive on challenge. You're intuitive, curious, creative, flexible, and effective, among many other things. And you've experienced how great it feels to make full, productive use of what you have.
So stand tall and reach for the biggest challenges, the ones that others may shy away from. Reach for the biggest challenges, and they will pull you ever higher.
