Well, folks another week has come and gone. I hope you have some great plans for Friday and the rest of the weekend. To kick it off, here are some funny videos I found on YouTube. I can’t get enough of these! I just enjoy a good laugh and there are so many clips in this video, it’s hard to say which one is my favorite.

Well, that’s it for this week. I’ll see you on Monday. In the meantime, be safe, have fun, and enjoy your life!

Until next time…

I haven’t posted a motivational video in a while, and figured why not? I hope you enjoy this one. I like the short videos because most of us do not have the time to set and watch anything longer than that with our crazy schedules.

Have a great Monday, folks!

Until next time…

Daily Ramblings – Monday Motivation – Learning New Skills

One of the biggest pitfalls to gain motivation is an inability to do something, particularly when we don’t know how to do what we are tasked to do by someone else or decide to do something. What do we do?

One of the steps we may need to take is to actually get out there and learn something about what we are tackling by learning from someone else who has already done it. Makes sense right? Why reinvent the wheel, when someone has already done it?

Some of the things I have had to learn are Microsoft Office. I needed to learn how Word works so I could write all the papers I had to write in school, and now as part of my official duties for the missionary role I hold for the Michigan Satsang Society. I also needed to learn Excel so I could complete the necessary monthly and semi-annual reports that are due to my boss. Besides these things I’ve had take course on graphic design, digital marketing, and statistics. I haven’t finished all of these courses, but these are the ones I’ve purchased. I’m going through an Excel course now.

What is holding you back? Is it typing? Is it reading more quickly? Or is it something that requires you to do some research and learning before you tackle that new thing you are about to work on. When you have the skills to do something, it is much more easy to be motivated to get that thing done. When you are struggling or resisting something, it is likely there is a little fear involved. I don’t know how to start. I don’t know how to do x, y, or z. Make it easy on yourself and get out there and learn what you need to know before you kick off that project. You’ll pick up a new skill(s) and it’ll be much easier to tackle that project when you have all the tools you need.

Well, folks, I hope all of you are having a great week so far. We got snow over the weekend, but today its in the high 40s and most of the snow we got is all melted away. This is common this type of year. There are probably a few more snow storms coming, but they tend to melt away very quickly.

Happy Monday, all!

Until next time…

I am subscribed to Stephen Guise’ Blog. He is the author of “Mini Habits”, which had a huge impact on my life. His email today introduced Jane Marczewski. Here’s a link to Stephen’s article: https://stephenguise.com/blog/

She won the Golden Buzzer award on America’s Got Talent, and sadly passed away from Cancer three days ago. I had to share this story, particularly the quote, which she gives in the video.

The quote:

“You can’t wait until life isn’t hard anymore, before you decide to be happy.”

~ Jane Marczewski

Rest in peace, Jane “Nightbird” Marczewksi.

Until next time…

Folks, in light of Black History Month, I decided to circumvent my funny Friday video with Martin Luther King’s I have a Dream speech. Here it is in its entirety. Dr. King was one of the primary movers during the 1960s that ultimately helped create the Civil Rights act and so many other pieces of legislation that were designed to help change the laws of the land that impacted the African American Community and so many other groups in the United States.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. I watch this speech each year and wanted to share it with you.

Have a great weekend, folks!

Until next time…
