motivation monday : building the new

this image is so appropriate for my work right now.  i am managing a huge project that involves a lot of change for an organization and employees very set in their ways.  it's a challenge, but when the program is complete, it will be a roadmap that we can utilize over and over again in other areas and provide so much development for so many people.  it's easy to get stuck in the tedium of the old, so i'm printing this and posting it on my desk to help me focus on the positive impact my work will have on others to keep me motivated!

monday motivation : on perfection

ok, so technically, it's tuesday motivation, but yesterday was labor day and i took a day off from blogging!

this really rang true for me.  i have a tendency to feel that things need to be perfect - and often they are not, and then i give up or feel badly about myself.  i'm working on being okay with trying and understanding that there is beauty and learning in making mistakes...
