Since yesterday was a holiday and a day off, I took the time to refill my cup. I hope you got a chance to do the same. For today, instead of a Motivational Monday, I just changed it to Motivational Tuesday. I had a message for today, so why not? Here is what I sent my team today. Enjoy!
Good Morning, Cookies!
Happy Tuesday!
I hope you both had a wonderful holiday weekend!
I have to start today’s motivation with a story…
Thing 2 kept stealing my calligraphy pens. Of course, I cannot have anything to myself! Since I could tell this was going to continue to be a thing, I decided to make her a deal…I would buy her, her own set of pens IF she earned them. And in true Thing 2 fashion, she did just that!
So, off we went to Michael’s one day. I didn’t even make it two yards in, and they had an aisle of office decor. At that moment…what calligraphy pens? I scanned the entire aisle, inspired by the wall art and desk accessories. Then, I saw some wall art that I knew was coming home with me…
YASSSSS! It took me a lonnnnnng time to realize how much what I choose to do today has a direct impact on what I am able to do tomorrow. It’s a balancing act, though, right? You live like today is your last, and at the same time you have to plan for the future. #SayWhatNow It takes time to master, but when you find that balance, you realize you CAN do both!
So, today and every day, I charge you with living each day to the fullest, while putting plans in place that set you up for the future you want…the one you dream of. The wall art above, as I am sure you both have seen, sits behind my desk. Every time I am on a call, I am reminded of my future big picture…my dream. Let it remind you too!
Oh…and Thing 2 did walk away with those pens. There was NO WAY we were going into that store, and not leaving with them. After all, she earned it!
Have a wonderful short week!
