Start Right

I think I am having a change of heart with respect to Mondays. 99.9% of people hate Mondays; let’s face it, we all wish it was still the weekend.  Poor Mondays get bashed with cruel comments and bad attitudes because it represents the beginning of a new work week.  But recently, I’ve grown to understand the purpose of this day and the importance of starting your day right!

I can almost assure you that although I still do not love Mondays, (love is such a strong word) I do not despise it.  I look forward to starting the work week right.  You are given an unbelievable power that many do not know they possess; you get to set the tone to what the rest of the week will be for you.  Isn’t that awesome?  When you have the right attitude, life runs so much smoother than when you’re acting like a scrooge.  I’m not saying that every Monday for the rest of your life is going to be pure joy; of course we are going to have our days, we’re humans. What I am saying is that your attitude plays a big part of how your day will be.  If you choose to have a good day regardless of what happens, chances are your day will be good.  If you start each week with the right attitude and declare that it will be a blessed, purposeful and productive week, it will be just that. There is power in what you declare and there is also power in your actions. 
 
 
Let every Monday be your Motivation! Your motivation to complete your goals for the week, your motivation to get one step closer to your dreams, your motivation to be inspiring to others; that’s what your mindset should be.  Look at it this way; every Monday you have a brand new opportunity to get it right if it wasn’t last week.  You have a new opportunity to go back to the ‘drawing board’ and correct what was wrong and come back stronger than ever.  You have the opportunity to maximize on new opportunities that God is giving you. The possibilities are endless when you take advantage of a brand new start, that’s what Mondays can offer you; a fresh start.
Are you excited yet?  I don’t expect you to be jumping up and down and scream out loud: I love Mondays like a maniac!! I’m sure your co-workers will be looking at you very strangely but I do hope that you are able to grasp the essence of my message. If you start right, you’ll end right and that’s precisely what we should do every week, start right.  At the end of each work week, we should be able to look back and say; I had a blessed, purposeful and productive week because I decided to start the week right!
In your mouth is the power to bless or curse.  Change your attitude and bless your Mondays because by doing so, you are blessing the beginning of your work week and whatever projects you have set out to do that week. Declare God’s blessing over your life in general.  Want to have a blessed week? Start to declare that Mondays are a blessing and you will see that the Monday blessing will trickle down to every day of the week. And by the time the week is over, you will have seen that not only Monday was a blessing but Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. That is how you have a blessed week.
Have you had a change of heart yet?

Be Encouraged, Be Blessed
