A thought on motivation … and a Monday quote

(via nextwallpapers.net)

One thing that I have come to realize is that to keep on going towards my goals is that I need constant encouragement, be it from others or myself, and fresh inspiration to be motivated. Motivation is a thing that when it comes it doesn’t stay for too long unless you entertain it and make it feel welcome. So it’s like a guest, a very important one.

Quote for Monday brought to you by the groovy folks at Goodreads

Life is not so idiotically mathematical that only the big eat the small; it is just as common for a bee to kill a lion or at least to drive it mad.

August Strindberg

The Swedish dramatist was born on this day in 1849.

If that isn’t even a bit motivational then I don’t know what is. And what a coinkydink!

I think at this point it will be humanitarian of me to wish everyone a pleasant Monday

Both Artists..Different Canvas..

Reblogged from My story to you..:

An artist paints the world before him through his eyes..he shares what he sees and brings his audience to him through the distance..a writer paints the world within him..he shares what he feels and brings his audience to share his experiences..they are both artists in their own way..they both however paint on their own canvas..

Only after the darkest moments

Reblogged from My story to you..:

It is only after going through the darkest moments in our lives, that we understand how to appreciate the beauty of the light that embraces us. Then, through that warmth we learn what the beauty of life truly is.
