An excellent Monday Morning to YOU and the people you CARE About...
Let's get right to it... Life isn't short by a long shot. What you are doing with your everyday life can make in meaningful or worthless. People enjoy saying that 'Life is Short' as a means of motivation.
Life is what you truly make it to be. If you believe that it is short, how will your mind wrap itself around a future? We must make decisions as if our future matters. The people we confide in, the food we eat, our career choices; everything we involve ourselves in must have a future attached it to. Life isn't short by a long shot.
People think its admirable to say that an 80 year old died too young. When in all actuality, this 80 year old died, living in their future, possibly further than their future's expectation.
Live as if your life will be a long one; live for your future and align yourself with like spirits which are living the same way. Fun in the present is your past' future. Wouldn't be nice to think about the fun you'll have 30 years from now? It should be...
Have an excellent Monday Morning and you'll have an excellent week.

Monday Morning Motivation (3/14/11)
An excellent Monday Morning to you and those that are closest to you...
This Monday Morning I woke up thinking about one of the many early accomplishments in life: tying my shoes. This is an universal accomplishment, something that we all can share the joy of the first time we tied our shoes on our own. It felt so good, didn't it?
Some of us may not remember the exact day it happened. Many of us relive this accomplishment through our children, our nephews and nieces, etc. The accomplishment seems small, routine to us now. But we can't allow it to be. The moment we've learned to tie our shoes, in our young minds, anything was possible. And although those strings we become lose and we'd have to tie our shoes again, we knew we could do it again. And some of us even utilized the double knot when our laces gave us too much trouble.
These thoughts brought me to momentum, and how the smallest things to our world, can add to that momentum. We mustn't forget to believe in ourselves, our capabilities. Realistically, we can still do anything we put our mind to, if we keep our accomplishments important to our spirits. Remove the routine from you accomplishments, and build upon it. We will tie our shoes, our ties, our scarves, etc. and the child within us will smile that beautiful energetic smile of hope for the future.
Have an excellent Monday Morning, and you will have an EXCELLENT WEEK!

Monday Morning Motivation (2/7/11)
This is your morning!
Ok, it won't be easy but it is definitely your morning. You must do one thing: Live in the Moment. Living in the moment isn't easy when you haven't a clue of what is distracting you from doing so.
Distractions have grown into a way of life for many of us, unknowingly. Whether it's social networking, mainly social networking, texts, emails, BBM, Skype, relationships, etc. distractions are the gate keepers to us living in the moment.
The old adage of stopping to smell the roses has become, "At least don't crush the rose as you speed by."
This morning, take a moment to think about your everyday life; your everyday distractions. What can you do to ease off or simply calm your mindstate to lessen these distractions; to focus on the here and now. We tend to build better futures for ourselves when we plan for those moments now. We must afford paying attention. Live in the moment.

Monday Morning Motivation (1/31/11)
A Legendary Monday to YOU:
What is the point of motivation, if it doesn't cover every base? Career motivation is one thing. Life motivation is another. But it is relationship motivation that many of us need.
Having a support system is a beautiful gift. It's only human to feel so much better about who we are when we have someone that cheers us on; someone we could cheer on. But in life, finding that support system, and keeping it, is a tough go.
One of the reasons is because our past is placed into an unforgiving state. Our pain has taken over, haunts us from day to day, rendering us helpless to the future. But all of that can change, if you begin to forgive YOURSELF.
We see that excellent relationship and dream of having it ourselves. So we tend to create an excellent relationship with someone, instead of allowing for it to grow on its own. Some of us are in caring relationships, yet still choose to use it against the person they're with; to cheat on their special someone, instead of placing all their caring into a person they're lucky to have in the firdt place.
This morning, let's take a moment to look into ourselves, to stand present with the ghosts of our relationship pasts, and begin our cleansing process of those bad feelings keeping us from a healthier companionship in the future. If you have someone in your life that adores you, yet you can't help but to stray off, do them a favor, care for once and walk away; or simply devote your energy and time to the person that supports your life.
Life is so short. Not just your life, but the person that you are with, want to be with, or left behind. It's time that we all do our part to protect a heart.
Have an extraordinary Monday Morning and you'll have an extraordinary week.

Monday Morning Motivation (1/10/11)
A splendid Monday Morning to you:
This morning, being better than ever is an understatement; being "yourself" is is the very top of the mountain. Individuality is living; coming together to form alliances is what makes us human.
Acting is a thing of the past. You can't be everything to everybody and not expect to be a shell of yourself. Losing track of your identity only leads to the people around you losing hope in your abilities.
So this morning, look at an old picture of yourself, then ask, "Who was I, then? Who was I trying to be then? Am I that person now?" Life is beautiful, it is the ultimate challenge. How do you choose to step up to that challenge, this week?

Monday Morning Motivation (12/27/10)
Great Monday Morning!
To all the Northeast residents, we aren't afraid of a little snow are we; stuck but not scared. Today is the last Monday of 2010, so instead of putting together a "Best-of" I'd rather that we all are reflective of the Mondays of our past 12 months and the achievements we now hold dear.
Now isn't the time to reset our plans, only enhance them, evolve them. Now is the best time to be YOU and live YOUR life in a way that inspire others.
On a sad note, the music world lost an amazing voice and woman, over the weekend, Teena Marie. Whether you pray or meditate, if you have some great energy to share, her family and friends could use it. Teena's loss like any other loss of life should be a reminder that we can't take this life we have, for granted; we must not take our loved ones for granted. It is not about whether tomorrow is promised or not. What it is about is not just setting and achieving goals, we must also set and achieve love. The way that we care and love is what makes us human. So love out loud.
A great Monday Morning equals a Great week. Stay strong and motivated.

Monday Morning Motivation (12/13/10)
Great Monday Morning!
It feels so good to be back. Back at it everyday, taking no prisoners or names. Being in that special zone that we all have; when everything falls into place.
You'll be surprised how often things fall into place; that if you pay attention to everything, not just the struggle, you'll find that your life's triangles, fit in your daily triangle shapes.
This Monday Morning, lets take the time to place the right shape, through the right hole. Squares do not fit into circles. If it isn't working, evolve to a new circle to fit in that space.
For all I know, we only get one of these lives. We have to proceed to what make our shapes fit. Indianapolis Colts Quarterback, Peyton Manning, said something amazing at one of his press conferences last week in regards to adversity: People would tell me hang 'in' there; I was never 'out' there.
We can always be better, we can always adjust on the fly. But sometimes we must stop trying to jam hexagon into a rectangle. (wow, I hope this letter clicks) :)
Have a great Monday morning, and you will have an excellent week. Stay Strong and motivated.

Monday Morning Motivation (12/6/10)
Achievements, large and small are what drives us towards success. They are career incentives, the dots we connect with lines. Achievements are the "set" between "Ready" and "Go". And this morning, this Monday morning will bring new meaning to, "Going Out and Getting It!"
This morning, use your auto-focus, find your balance and set up your achievements for the week. If you're on Twitter and is 500 tweets away from 20,000, set your achievement of 500 tweets in five days. We are not reaching for goals this week; we are reaching achievements. While I'm speaking on Twitter, use www.Laterbro.com - a tweet scheduling site which works wonders for the business minded.
I'd like to thank everyone supporting Monday Morning Motivation. A few sites have picked it up and some are even forwarding it out to their friends and family, so feel free to do the same.
Achieve your personal greatness, your signature greatness. Then share it with the world. Because anything that's humanly seen is humanly possible. Stay strong and motivated.

Monday Morning Motivation (11/29/10)
Great Monday Morning to you and to those your energy will inspire. Momentum is a beautiful thing; like the snowflake at the top of a mountain which comes together with other snowflakes, create a movement to become a snowball, then ultimately an avalanche.
This Monday Morning, as many in the past have proven with us growing together, we are becoming that avalanche. Yes, natural disasters can be created by an event such as this; but also, natural success.
Today, let's get the best ball rolling. The keyword is: Synergy. Of the chosen few around you, who are the best at assisting you in developing your avalanche? Not only that, which person do you bring the best out of? Let's focus on those people this morning, so that we can have the best Monday Morning, all week long.

Let's have a toast to the groudbreakers; let's have a toast to us! It's Monday Morning; your time, our time. And although it is a short work week for some, many of us will be on our job in the middle of a turkey slicing.
2010 is coming to a close. But that doesn't mean that you should be. The calendar year doesn't have to be a start/end point. Set your own, be your own. Oh, and please stop and smell a rose; I can't say that enough. You must take a deep breath, look at your accomplishments, enjoy them, then build upon them. Let's take the robot out of our lives and LIVE!
This Monday Morning is yours... No texting, make phone calls this morning. Take your good energy and share it with someone, they'll do the same for you; if not, get off the phone and try again :)
I wanted to thank everyone that showed their interest in helping me raise money for the Boys and Girls Club. I am still putting finishing touches in before collected the donations. All of you are the best!
Lastly, I'd like to congratulate the lovely, free spirited Tanya Beardsley. She is a Zumba Dance Instructor in NYC and a weekly supporter of Monday Morning Motivation. Last week, XBOX 360 Kinect released "Zumba Fitness" and Tanya is a virtual instructor in the game! I had the opportunity of testing out the game with her, a few months back. She is a whirlwind! :)
Remember, your week ahead will mirror what you accomplish this morning. Let's have a toast to us!

Monday Morning Motivation (11/15/11)
Great Monday Everyone!
I know that I am normally the one motivating, but this week, I could sure go for a few, "You can do it's" :)
Last week, I was hit with a major disappointment. An event I was organizing for the Boys & Girls Club fell through due to lack of funds. The local club I assist, recently lost between 200k - 400k in grant moneys, so they had to tighten their belts on events.
I wanted to bring to your attention that Boys & Girls Clubs across this country are suffering to no fault of their own. Even Lebron James tried to help through his "The Decision" special and look where that got him (still raised a lot of money). Maybe raising money or donating isn't your thing; giving your time is even more important. Our youth are losing after school programs that we've had as children. So hopefully, this email will inspire you to give your time, energy or even make a donation to your local club.
I will be starting a Kickstarter.com fundraiser in the coming weeks to help my local club.
Remember, it's Monday Morning! What you do over the next four hours will define your week. So get up, get up, and move something!

Monday Morning Motivation (11/8/10)
Great Monday!
Last week is behind us, but it should remind us of the goals we've set and the promises we've made to ourselves. Being focused is one thing, having a higher resolution brings clarity to your overall picture.
So this morning, jot down the first 5 goals from this year that comes to your mind. Are these goals still important to you? Are these goals still in progress? Are these goals still worth it? Use the process of elimination to bring a higher resolution to your future progress.
This Monday morning matters...

How sweet is this; not only is it Monday Morning, it is the first Monday amd first day of the month! This morning is the morning!
Make your plans, set your goals, update your calendars, do it all this morning. Do it because it works. Do it because of people like Bear Frazier, which raised close to $4000 for his film project. And although he is naturally driven, he requests that I keep these "MMM" emails coming.
There is power in positivity mixed with intensity. What you do this morning does matter, it does count towards your week. So be like Bear this week.
And please share your success stories with me. Greatness is in you.

Monday Morning Motivation (10/25/10)
It's Monday Morning, do you know where your accomplishments are??? They can be anywhere, just waiting for you to claim them. Are you ready today? Are you ready to stake your claim while taking names?
Of course you are! Today is the day, this morning is the morning. Make that phone call, send out that email, tweet out that message. Own up to your mishaps, stand up for your brand, and don't take no for an answer, in any language.
Today is yours, which really means, this week is yours.

Monday Morning Motivation (10/4/10)
Good Monday Morning to you and yours! When I first began writing these letters, I hadn't a clue of how they'd be the "pick me up" that my friends would anticipate the next Monday for. So I just wanted to say thank you to those people that reached back out to me with kind words of encouragement to keep Monday Morning Motivation in the mix of their lives.
It is so important that we don't allow for today to go to waste. The accomplishments of today extend into the rest of the week like a wildfire. My idea for "Jewels for Gems", a program I started at the Boys and Girls Club in Trenton NJ; developing and assisting career aspirations in our teens; was a Monday Morning idea that's doing beautifully well. I have a meeting with Dr. Cornel West tomorrow, so you know my subject ideas are being drawn up this morning. I can't waste a second of that opportunity. And I don't want for you to waste a second of any of your opportunities.
Tell yourself, "Today is the beginning of my best week ever." Assist those that are assisting themselves. Save the "helping" for 911. Be spectacular today, so you could have a productive week.

Good Monday Morning to all!!!
I am so excited, just tickled pink and all that. I realize that the weather isn't all that beautiful, but life still is.
There are so many possibilities this week. Knowing that September 2010 will end this week, you can think back to September 1st to make sure you didn't leave any goals on the table for this month.
I wish you the best Monday ever... Everything you do today, matters.
