Monday Motivational Minute: It Only Takes A Minute

It's that time again... The Monday Motivational Minute!

I know, I know, I missed the last couple of weeks but thanks to my big sis Leann (still on her job after 14 years!) I am back.

"It Only Takes A Minute"

Remember when life was simple? Remember when we could count on our parents to fix all the hardships and headaces in our lives? Remember when the Registrar said your student loan hadn't been applied to your account and you couldn't register and somehow mom and dad fixed it? Do you remember the day you woke up and realized that YOU were the parent now and you had to fix your own problems?

If your life is anything like mine then I'm sure you have been thrown a curveball a time or two. Something that comes out of nowhere and totally knocks you off your rocker. Something so big that makes you ball up into your own cocoon and say "the heck with everyone else i got my own problems to deal with."

Martin Luther King said, you find out the true character of a man not when times are good but during times of adversity. It is when your back is against the wall that you really find out what you are made of. Will you run and hide or will you stand and fight?

It only takes a minute to make a difference in a life
It only takes a minute to sow a positive seed into someone else's life
It only takes a minute to forget about your own problems and help someone else with theirs.
It only takes a minute to remember that someone else is always counting on you to keep pushing so that they may be inspired to keep pushing themselves whether you know it or not.

The next time you want to quit or have a pity party for yourself, take a minute to think about all those who look to you for their own inspiration. Focus on pouring into the lives of others and your life will get much better much faster. It only takes a minute.

"When cares are pressing you down a bit, rest if you must but don't you dare quit"
