Happy Monday! For September I thought some beginning of the week motivation might be necessary. The hubs and I are going for some major goals this year and sometimes, a little motivation is needed! I once heard that A goal should scare you when you make it because you have no idea how you can make it happen. This is definitely the way I feel, but in the best way possible!

This quote is currently at the front of my day planner and stands as a constant reminder that we can all achieve our dreams and face down those mountains. The possibility of failure and the definite growth we will need can be scary, but what is even worse is looking back and knowing we did not even try. In my day planner this quote is directly followed by another stating "I will until" because, as Babe Ruth said, "it is hard to beat a man who never gives up".

And, since we missed last week's motivation, I thought I would share an incredible blog post over on Cup of Jo. In this article, Joanna talks about a game they play while waiting for tables at restaurants. Each person writes down five words that explain themselves at that time. What a neat idea! Joanna has realized that the five words she picked has, now, shown how she has grown through the years. For my first time playing, my words were loving, adventurer, philanthropist, entrepreneur, learner.

What would be the five words you would choose for yourself?
