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, read between the lines
FEELING GREAT
Do you want to just feel good? Or would you prefer to truly feel great?
It can feel good to overindulge. Yet it can feel great to enjoy the lasting rewards that come through practicing discipline and restraint. It can feel good to be lazy, lounging around and doing nothing. Yet it can feel truly great to invest your time in creative, effective, productive efforts.
It can feel good to win an argument. Yet it can feel great to develop a mutual understanding with, and true respect for another person.
It can feel good to live for today, abandoning all your responsibilities for the pleasures of the moment. Yet it can feel truly great to live fully in the moment while remaining responsible to the positive possibilities that the future will bring.
Rather than living for the fleeting pleasure of feeling good, fill each moment with meaning, integrity, responsibility, discipline and love. Then you'll know the lasting joy of truly feeling great.

A WAY OUT
When you're stuck, there is a way out, as much as there may not seem to be. Stop focusing on being stuck and you'll begin to see what that way out can be.
The way to get beyond being stuck is to get beyond what you're doing. What that means is that there is something you must change. By changing what you're doing, you can begin to move forward. And soon you'll be far beyond the place where you were stuck.
Yes, change can be frightening and change can be difficult. Yet the fact that you're stuck is compelling proof that change is your best course of action.
Eventually you'll see that being stuck was not such a bad thing. For it will have pushed you into making a positive change, a change that you'll soon be grateful for having made.
When you're stuck, there's much that you can do, if you'll simply accept the need for change. Change for the better, and move forward faster than ever before.
