When you think of Mondays, is your first reaction AAH or Ahh? Many people fear Monday’s arrival because their weekend ends and they must return to work. I look forward to Mondays as an opportunity for renewal. For me, it signals a whole week of things that I can accomplish.
Perhaps if people changed their viewpoint of Mondays, they wouldn’t feel so bad. I suppose it all ties into whether you enjoy your work or not. If you hate your job, then you seek to be away from it as much as possible. If you love your job, you can look forward to doing the work you were meant to do. It is all a matter of finding your purpose and shifting your life and work to fulfilling that purpose.
Now finding your purpose might be the hard part. It took lots of prayer and meditation for me to see the path that I was meant to travel. I know the path is long, but every week is an opportunity for me to get a little closer to my destination. I took the passion test once and that really helped me to see that I am on the right path to living my passion. I am not trying to get all heavy on a Monday, but I felt that this was a great opportunity to help others change their perspective of the week ahead.
This week I am looking forward to some great meetings with several potential brand clients, speaking at a Mastercard team meeting and hosting a coming out party for the South Florida chapter of Bloggin’ Mamas. It will be busy, the hours will be long, but I will love every second of it because it is my purpose.
I give credit to God for giving me that purpose and for leading me to discover it. Even when faced with obstacles and negativity, I am able to overcome with His power.
So look forward to this week instead of dreading it. Use each waking moment to live the life you were meant to. Make things happen, don’t just let things happen to you. Happy Monday!
Thank you for such an inspirational post today! It’s true, you just don’t know where life will lead you. Trust God in everything that you do, and he will take you far!
This week is going to be fabulous — you’ve got this! 😉
You’re welcome Fatima and thank you for the encouragement as well. Enjoy your week!
I am a bit odd as Mondays have never bothered me.. Wednesdays if the week is dragging by, but Mondays are always a chance at a new week and a new start. I loved your post!
Thanks Ellen! I am glad I am not the only one.
I don’t work outside of the home so one day runs into the next.What you say makes sense. I used to dislike the weekends. It’s all a matter of changing your point of view. Find something positive and focus on that.
We work from home too! But yes, it is all about perspective.
You know, you are so right. It’s just how you look at it. I tend to forget about the everyday things that don’t just magically get done. Thanks for the reminder!
Mondays are actually very exciting for me at the moment. I’m 34 weeks pregnant and Monday is two days closer to the next week. Plus, Monday is my relaxation day with my daughter before I have to do bill paying and other activities on tuesday!
How we look at things makes a big difference as to how we will feel. I always try to look at my glass half full. God does have a purpose for each of us and he will let us know if we pray and ask. Thank you so much for sharing
