Motivational Monday!

Welcome to Motivational Monday! Hopefully something you read below will start your week off right, keep it on track or bring it back to what's really important......


I received several quotes over the weekend, all from Marilyn Monroe. I really had no idea who or what she was, other than an actress, so I did a little investigating. Turns out she had a lot to say.... enjoy

• “I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they're right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.”
• 
  
• “This life is what you make it. Not matter what, you're going to mess up sometimes, it's a universal truth. But the good part is you get to decide how you're going to mess it up..
• 
  
• “It's better to be unhappy alone than unhappy with someone.”
• 
  
• “When it comes down to it, I let them think what they want. If they care enough to bother with what I do, then I'm already better than them.”
• 
  
• “We should all start to live before we get too old. Fear is stupid. So are regrets.”
• 
  
• “I've never fooled anyone. I've let people fool themselves. They didn't bother to find out who and what I was. Instead they would invent a character for me. I wouldn't argue with them. They were obviously loving somebody I wasn't.” 
• 
  
• “Women who seek to be equal with men lack ambition.”
• 
  
• “Wanting to be someone else is a waste of the person you are.”
• 
  
• “Just because you fail once, doesn't mean you'll fail at everything. Keep trying, hold on, and always trust yourself, because if you don't then who will??”

She actually had a lot more quotes attributed to her, but I think the ones above really summed up her thoughts. From my take, it seems she was saying to be true to yourself, live your life, don't be afraid to make mistakes but own them and learn from them so you do it better the next time and most importantly, don't let fear freeze you in your tracks.


So that's my first Motivational Monday. Absorb the wisdom of the quotes above and be yourself! Don't be afraid to try!!!!
