You Don't Hate Mondays, You Hate Your Lifestyle
Monday symbolizes the end of the weekend and the start of a new week. So it symbolizes the day when the fun stops, and the obligations begin. For most people it represents the beginning of the working week. It symbolizes something undesirable and unmotivating. So, a great farce about Monday being a bad day, has developed. Generally speaking, on Mondays, people seem grumpy and are dissatisfied with their lives. It all takes us to the stage in which we have to say "I hate Mondays, it is miserable." But, Do you really hate Mondays? No, you don't. Mondays can be truly wonderful days. Just because people think Mondays are bad days, it doesn't necessarily have to mean that you have to irradiate pessimism at the beginning of the week. My Mondays look great, and I spend them by being very active. I'm living a lifestyle that suits me. I try hard to balance my free time and my business activities, so for me, every new day is a great, big, interesting adventure, even Mondays. So, there are two reasons why you might hate Mondays: You've become a part of the global view that Mondays are bad days OR You're not living a life that would allow you to enjoy your Monday How Do I Make Mondays Great? In order to stop seeing Monday as a bad day, you need to fix your way of thinking. First and foremost, you have to start creating your own attitudes about your life, and the people who surround you. Change Your Mind About Mondays While the rest of the world is convinced that Monday is a bad day, you're here to be different. Every individual is unique and has something to offer the world. Don't be afraid of being different. To get to the top, you need to beat everyone else, but above all, you need to beat yourself. You're nothing else but what your brain thinks you are. When you succeed in creating a positive image of Mondays in your head, that day will become positive, and full of great opportunities in your eyes. Successful people tend to use every day for making agreements, opening new businesses, or enjoying life. Why should you restrict yourself by throwing out your Mondays? It doesn't matter what day it is; you can start a business on Monday, Tuesday, Saturday or any other day of the week. Don't use days of the week as an excuse for your failures, and for not achieving your goals. Every day is a new chance for you to make something, and to become a better person, don't miss out on that. Time is our most valuable resource, so you have to spend it wisely. Change Your Lifestyle As a freelancer, I have opened many new doors to my life. I can now work from any place in the world, whenever I want to, and as much as I need to. Money is not the measure of success, and it shouldn't always be in your focus. There are so much better, and more important things in life than money. You need to build your lifestyle, on the premise that you want to use every day of your life to the fullest. Spend it with your loved ones, with a constant smile on your face. The change of a lifestyle is mostly related to business or health. These are the two factors that encourage us to change our way of life: our place of residence, or the people who surround us. Don't change your life because of your job. It would be better to change your job to achieve the lifestyle your striving to. As a freelancer, you can travel, discover the world, meet new people, and along with all these advantages, you can make enough money too. When you're living your every day, as you want to, then you don't care if it is Monday or any other day of the week. In order to improve your lifestyle, you'll have to make some concrete changes: maybe change your job maybe change the people who surround you maybe adopt new sleeping habits maybe start eating healthier maybe start working out All in all, the change of the lifestyle is not possible without some sacrifice. You'll have to sacrifice some old habits, but you'll get a better life, and a better future in exchange. Conclusion It doesn't matter if it's Monday, Thursday, Saturday, or some other day, today is your day to shine. Today is the right time to show your talent and your worth to the world. Don't try to prove your worth to others; the most important thing is to show it to yourself. The opinion of others is very often not relevant at all, because at the end of the day, what matters is us, and our satisfaction with our life. Monday can be your favorite day of the week. Adopt some new habits, and start living the life you deserve. Stop following the global trend of labeling Monday, devote yourself to becoming a better person day by day instead. May every following Monday in your life be, prettier, better and more fun.
How To Find Your Passion
For years I was doing something that I wasn't passionate about. I thought that money was a more important factor in life than the fulfillment of my passion.Well, I was wrong! Are you doing something you're not interested in? Do you wake up listless on a daily basis, because you have to do that something which brings you money? Do you want to stop doing that immediately, and find what you're interested in?It is time for you to stop for a moment, and look for your passion.How To Find Your PassionEnough with the depressing life, and seeking pleasure in partying or binge eating. It is the right moment for you to make a move, and start living the life that makes you happy, the one that makes everyday a beautiful one (even Mondays).Why should you follow your passion?Your life will become a much better one!Passion is what drives us to be better, more creative and more durable. The energy we possess when we are doing something we feel passionate about is incredible. When you are doing something passionately, it becomes easier to accomplish every following step.I often receive e-mails saying: ‘Can I really live my passion?’The answer is simple: YES, you can live your passion.Some people are passionate about cars, some about running, some people about drawing, programming, wine tasting, or any sports discipline, etc.We all have a passion, the important thing is to find it, and fulfill it.Happiness and fulfillment are the feelings that will appear when you devote yourself to what you consider to be your passion. They say that a smile prolongs life, but we don't have to be doctors to become aware of the fact that happiness makes us healthier and gives us extra energy.The hustle and the motivation are also a by-product of working on projects you feel passionate about. Nowadays people are often tired and can't find the energy for living, but working on a project you feel passionate about, will change that. There's no need even to talk about motivation, the desire to go one step further, will never go away, if your passion will be the one to push you to endure, one more hour, day, or month.The success and the self-esteem come at the end of it all. If you invest at least 5 minutes into something, on a daily basis, at the end of the year you will have worked on it for 1825 minutes, or a little more than 30 hours. Quite a significant number of hours to achieve something, and when you think about it, you have invested only 5 minutes of your usual day into it. When you're doing something you feel passionate about, you will surely invest much more of your time, and that will at the end result in success. Success brings a sense of self-esteem. If you respect yourself and what you're doing, you're the luckiest person in the world.Passion should be the main motive for our every waking up, and for our every venture. An old proverb says that people are not afraid of death, but they are regretting the fact that they haven't had the time to fulfill all of their passions.To become happy and fulfilled, and to have the motivation to succeed, all you need to do is live your passion.How can you find your passion?Occupied with various problems that life brings, people often lose their perspective, they lose their passion. Therefore, they often come to me with questions like: 'How can I find my passion? What exactly is my passion? '.My dear friend, I can't tell you what your passion is. You can ask your friends to tell you that, or you can find it out on your own. I can give you great advice on how to find your passion.To my readers, I usually recommend a simple 3 step rule for finding their own passion:1.What did you want to be as a kid?Do you remember those days when the world was a perfect place for living?When there was nothing to worry about? When the only thing that occupied your attention was how to have fun?Great times! Many of us would now like to go back to those wonderful times.What I'm asking you is, to remember what you wanted to be as a kid. Astronaut, doctor, mailman, pilot? And where are you today? Have you accomplished any of those past wishes? I'm pretty sure you're now doing something completely different, which is not interesting at all, and it is so far away from the things you have fantasized about as a kid.Write down your childhood ideas on a piece of paper. Don't worry, it can be one idea, 5 or even 10 ideas, who knows. What I want to say is, they all need to be written on a piece of paper.2.What are you constantly talking to your friends about?When we learn something new regarding the area we feel passionate about, we can't wait to tell it to our friends. Regardless of the fact they are interested in it or not, they are really close to us, and we want to share with them, the things that are important to us.It's time you start listening to what you're saying to your friends. What's better, you should warn them to remember and write down the things you are constantly babbling about. It doesn't matter if it's about diet, clothing, cars, sports or something else. The thing you're constantly talking about, and never get tired of, is something you feel passionate about.On the same paper, we've already talked about, write down the things you're constantly talking about. If it will make things easier, tell your friends to fill in the paper for you. They are the ones who know you the best anyway.3.What would you do if everything would be unlimited?It is hard to imagine, but you're in a situation of having limitless supplies of money, food, drink, and everything else you need for living. The question is, how will you spend your day?This is a pretty hard question for the people who aren't aware of their passions. But, that's why we have had the first two questions, so that we could now give some smart ideas for this one, more easily. You need to give at least three answers to this question. It doesn't matter if your answers will be activities or things. The important thing is to find the idea, of how you would like to spend that perfect day.Some of my colleagues like to add another thing here: How would you spend the day if tomorrow was the end of the world? In other words, what would you do if you knew that you had only a few more hours to live?Write down the answers to the third question on a piece of paper as well.That's where the thinking starts. Put the paper in front of you, and search for that thing or activity that comes up the most on it. If necessary, connect different words from the paper, as long as you don't find your passion. One additional note, it doesn't necessarily have to be only one activity. In fact, most people usually feel passionate about more than one thing in life.ConclusionTo live your passion means to live your life to the fullest. Everything else is a mere waste of time. It is time for you to find your passion if you haven't done it yet.To find your passion, you need to put yourself in some extreme situations. The situation where you're putting your self into the world where everything is unlimited, or where you have only a few more hours left to live, is maybe the best solution for finding your passion.Don't waste another minute of your life! If you're not living your passion, you can hardly say that you're living a great life. Things are simple; money is not the measure of success, happiness and passion are.
