Monday motivation


“Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving.” -Albert Einstein



Last week we talked about celebrating the beginning of a new year of possibility and opportunity. We see this week’s quote as a great reminder that always moving forward is such an important part of life because that’s the best way to get to all those new and exciting possibilities we just talked about! 

Have you ever felt stuck working on a difficult step for what feels like ages and you can’t tell if you are actually improving- and then suddenly one day you realize you can do that step much more easily, just like you wanted to in the first place? When you’re working on something, especially if the process takes a long time, it can feel like you’re stuck in one place which can be frustrating and discouraging. It’s important to remember that we often don’t notice progress and changes until later on when we see just how far we’ve come. 

Improvement often happens gradually. If you just keep reaching for what you’re trying to achieve you will never really be stuck in one place. Imagine if you had decided you’d never be able to do that step because it was just too difficult for you, and you’d stopped trying to work on it right away. You never would’ve realized that all you needed was to just keep going and the progress would happen naturally. If you keep moving forward and working toward your goals with patience and trust in yourself, you will notice that amazing things can happen! 


Have a wonderful and inspired week!
