Your #MotivationMonday Speech Told By GIFs

In This Article:

Feeling a bit under the weather? Stressed? Overworked? Well, here is some motivation to get you through.

1. You know those days where you come home from a long day of work or school?

You are usually left to your thoughts. Well, at least I am, in between the laundry list of things to do, and the thoughts of everything and nothing at the same time.

2. Most people tend to put off thinking in the greater aspects of life.

If something is bothering them they put it off, stay busy or maybe they even hyper-focus on something else entirely. I feel like I do all of them in the course of an hour and restart it for the next.

3. Life is very difficult.

I'd like to say that life isn't that hard, but that's not true and anyone who tells you differently is lying. It is painful, confusing, and unrelenting. There are days where you just want to give up, and then there are days where you are so glad to be alive. Those days seem few and hard to find at times. But everything is difficult, right? It's a process to appreciate things when they're good, right?

4. It's a constant struggle to get through the day.

I am constantly plagued with what to do and how to do things correctly, fairly. Over thinking, over analyzing, caring too much or not enough, worrying over everything.

5. They say everything happens for a reason.

Whether they call it fate or destiny, whatever suits your fancy. And you know, a part of me truly believes that. I believe there is a reason that bad things happen to good people, that people come into your life to show you another layer of yourself, and that no matter how bad it gets - it could always be worse.

6. This life is too short and precious to waste it on anything but your happiness. 

If you are not happy with your life, do anything you possibly can to change it. Whether that be a new career, a new place to live, or surrounding yourself with genuine people.

7. Stop second guessing yourself, stop making excuses.

Giphy

If you see something or someone as difficult, reevaluate their presence in your life to see if it's worth it in the long run. Sometimes, it's your perspective that needs to change and sometimes it's your own fear.

8. Fear has the power to either intimidate or motivate you.

It's up to you to choose what is best for you and your conscious. I know myself, I know what I want and what I deserve in this life.

9. Remember, you are what you tell yourself, not what others say you have to be. 

Giphy

I am determined, strong-willed, opinionated, fiercely passionate, and I never give up on anything I believe in. Now, this makes a few things difficult - but I still know in my heart that I am being honest to myself and those around me. What about you?

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
