This Week's Inspiration: Do The Crazy Thing

Mondays have a reputation for being rough, but I've decided to turn that thinking on its head. Mondays have a lot of benefits. They are a fresh start. They are an opportunity to do work you care about and love. And after a couple days off, they can offer a welcome return to your routine.

Still, it can be hard to remember this on Sunday night when you're lamenting how fast the weekend went or on Monday morning when you're hitting the snooze and realizing you have nothing to wear. So I've decided that in order to get my week started on the right foot, I'm going to find something every Monday morning, whether it's a quote or a picture or a story or a song, to inspire the week ahead. I'm sure I'm not the only one who struggles with Mondays, so I thought it would be fun to start sharing my inspiration here!

Here is this week's inspiration:

This week, I am going to make it a point to do something that scares me. I'm not sure what it will be yet, but when the opportunity presents itself (and I'm sure it will!), I'm going to make it a point to give it a try because, as the picture says, "not trying is another kind of death."

Anyone care to join me?
