I used to get got up in the messy Monday complaints and shared in the belief that we should just go back to work on Tuesdays and get a three day weekend. However, Tuesdays would become horrible Mondays and it wouldn't change anything. Only one thing can change how bad Mondays are and that is... YOU! You are solely responsible for your attitude. Yes, people can negatively effect your day, but it is up to you on how you let the negativity effect you. It sucks. Negativity, problems, inconveniences, car trouble, spilling milk, and everything else sucks, but don't let it define your day or yourself. You are worth more than those little things.

You are probably thinking this is easier said than done and it is, but here are 11 quotes that will help change your mindset so you can have a kick ass Monday.

1. Sometimes you have to make the first move.

2. It is all up to you. You have to practice what you preach.

3. Don't underestimate yourself. You are stronger than you believe.

4. Mondays may suck, but the goodness is that you can change that.

5. Think positive thoughts.

6. Stop being a flat tire and start going somewhere, anywhere.

7. Don't think the worse.

8. We look to a new year with anticipation and happiness, so why not look to a new week with the same feelings.

9. You only get one Monday a week.

10. You just have to do it.

11. Monday is your day, so make it great.

Bad things are going happen but how you respond is more important. It is okay to say "this sucks" but then get up and do something about it. Don't be idle, do something about it to make your life better, because I believe in you and others do too. Go rock this world!
