Sing the Monday Blues Away
“Monday Monday, so good to me,
Monday Monday, it was all I hoped it would be.”
Sing those Monday morning blues away. Pick your favorite music and sing yourself all the way to work, you will feel great by the time you get there.
For many of us Mondays are the beginning of a new week, start it out in the best way possible. I think Wade Boggs sums it up pretty well in his quote below and if we practice this we cannot help but have a great day everyday.
“A positive attitude causes a chain reaction of positive thoughts, events and outcomes. It is a catalyst and it sparks extraordinary results.
Happy Monday to you all!
When You Compromise Your Values
Whether you work for a large corporation with a lot of co-workers or a small business, you should do what is ethically right no matter what others around you do.
You and only you can claim the fame of your integrity. I have heard employees’ state “Well, if they are not doing what they should, then why should I?” My questions for you would be “shouldn’t you do what is expected of you no matter what?”
Should you act like a lemming, just following what everyone else does? If they jump off the ledge then you should too?
We know the correct answer is “no” but sometimes we end up following the crowd and compromising our values and beliefs. Even if it is just for a moment, it can be damaging to your reputation.

The Way Of The Fool Seems Right
A friend of mine sent me some old proverbs to read, I found them interesting and thought-provoking. A particular one stood out when I read it.

When you think about this it is so true. How many times have you come up with a great idea and everyone else thinks it is not? We are able to think of so many things that are right with the idea and have a hard time thinking of any of the negatives. Yet when we pursue our great idea it does not turn out even close to being good.

Make Time For Fun
Happy Friday to you all. I will be heading out to visit the country of my family today, Italy. It is a place that I love to go to, and look forward to each year.
When I was at a recent conference, one of the things we were required to do was to write goals, one of the areas was to write our fun goals down. On each line I wrote vacation with family and friends. We must make time for fun in our lives as we never know when the horn will blow and either we or a dear family member will be taken from us.
Live is short, enjoy each day and do not forget to make time for fun!
Ciao
Tina
