We did it! Yep! We beat the Monday morning Lag Hag.
Can you believe we’ve almost reached the halfway point of January?
2015 has rolled in, and the year is well on the way to forging its intended path in our lives, whether we’re ready for the outcome or not. I’m particularly excited about 2015. I have already begun working on my wishes (not resolutions… I no longer do those).
If you’re reading this post, then you’re witnessing one of the greatest goals I had planned to accomplish this year, and that was to turn livewellbefabulous.wordpress.com into livewellbefabulous.com. Getting to this point was a LOT of work. Heck, I still have a long way to go. However, I’m taking Woody Allen’s advice. I’m going to silence that little demon’s voice known as doubt, and I fully intend to get up this morning and show up for the party war as he suggests.
In February, I’m planning on officially launching LWBF and celebrating with the cyber world. Accomplishments such as this one can be an extraordinary motivator. Not only for me, but for my friends and loved ones as well.
If you’re not quite jumping head first into your goals/wishes just yet, then don’t worry. There’s still plenty of time to get started. Consider this proverb for motivation:
Allow me to offer a few suggestions that always work wonders for my spiritual well-being. Surround yourself with positive, goal-oriented individuals, and you’ll soon discover that their energy is infectious. Laugh whenever you can. No kidding. There’s a reason that old saying “I’m laughing because I don’t feel like crying” sticks around. Because it’s true! Humor works wonders for the soul, even when you think you might be allergic to anything funny.
“Either you run the day, or the day runs you.” –Jim Rohn
Spend time with your loved ones. Between writing and maintaining LWBF, I can barely find time to think. Yet, I still manage to spend quality time with my sons. I cannot stress how important it is to put family first and the career second.
Don’t have anyone to motivate you to get out of bed and start your day at the moment? No worries. I’d like to share a few motivational quotes just in case anyone needs that extra shove out the door today.
“The mind is everything. What you think you become.” –Buddha
“Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life.” –Steve Jobs
“When you make a mistake, don’t look back at it long. Take the reason of the thing into your mind, and then look forward. Mistakes are lessons of wisdom. The past cannot be changed. The future is yet in your power.” – Phyllis Bottome
Congrats on establishing your website! I myself have started blogging through HubPages but I’d like to, at some point, start my own blog. I love the Buddha and Steve Jobs quotes! Two of my favorite quotes and people. It is so important that you take control of your own life and keep a positive attitude. Awesome post!
Thanks Maddie. I always look forward to your words of encouragement. They help keep me motivated so I can do the same for others.
“80% of success is showing up” has been a favorite quote of mine all last year. It is so true. When you want to be successful in health, wealth, happiness, or what have you, you have to show up and start it. Everything starts somewhere. If you never start, you never have the chance to succeed. Love the other quotes as well. Very inspiring.
So true, my friend. Especially with blogging. If I don’t show up on a consistent basis, then posts won’t get done, and then, faithful readers such as yourself will quickly lose interest.
