So you started Monday off with enthusiasm but come Tuesday . . . and you find your energy levels flagging.
How do you stay inspired?
Me, I love inspiring quotes. I am a quote-junkie and always have a categorized repository. Amazing how words can work magic when you feel low.
I’ve picked some of my own favorites to share with you.

What a great uplifting post, Vidya. I have a similar list of music I play to keep the vibe going. #6 is my favorite from your list. – He is a wise man who does not grieve for the things which he has not, but rejoices for those which he has. – The song I play that always brings me back up is ‘Walking On Sunshine’ by Katrina and the Waves. 🙂 – I hope your Tuesday is filled with much sunshine, Vidya! 🙂
Thank you so much Karen! I love that song! And yes, I have several playlists to get me back on track. Great what music can do. Hugs!
Wonderful post just on this morning to uplift the mood. My favorites are 11, 13 and 25.
#11 Revenge does not help anyone rather forgiving is the thing to do!
#13 I have always learnt that only when you do something, it will retain with you forever. During my childhood, I used to read the lessons and write it down through which I know what I really remember and understood. Doing things practically is the way.
#25 Be happy for this life and keep going.

I never started Monday feeling revved. Heh… Retirement is glorious and I am so grateful while praying we can continue this lifestyle. Be well!

Thank you dearest Birgit! I love each one of these and am always inspired by nature’s impartiality and how she goes at her pace without being competitive! Have a wonderful week!

These are wonderful quotes, Vidya. The best part is that they are from you. My favorite is #7. “We either make ourselves miserable or we make ourselves strong. The amount of work is the same.” Very uplifting for the start of my day.
Love these. Thanks for creating some sunshine in my day today!
OMG Vidya!! The quotes junkie in me wants to come through the computer and hug you…for putting together this masterpiece. Love love love it!
xoxo, Z~
Love your quotes Vidya…so inspiring and uplifting. 🙂
I loved all of them, Vidya, though I admit I found myself partial to #19. It’s a wonderful collection and I can see other readers finding at least one that resonates with them.
Number 23 is my favorite (probably because it speaks to something that is changing in me). I have been the person waiting until circumstances are “just right” before I realized that there was always SOMETHING. Now, even when I am tempted to wait, I forge ahead and just get going toward the goal. I am finding that I am achieving massively more than I ever have (which results in great things happening and encourages me to do more). So, I highly recommend starting where you are; no matter where you are. Thanks for sharing some motivating advice.
