A little Monday inspiration

Monday has never been my favorite day. Now, I know that is nothing original and you are probably thinking "yeah, me too". We all have had "a case of the Mondays" every once in a while. Well today, I'm feeling it... especially after a great weekend of spending time with family and friends. So today I thought I would share a few quotes to maybe give a little jump start to the week.

I found these little quotes in a store a few months ago. I'm not really sure what to do with them, but I love what they say.

*If we are to reach real peace in this world, and if we are to carry on a real war against war, we shall have to begin with the children -Gandhi

* Your vision will become clear only when you look into your heart. Who looks outside dreams. Who looks inside awakes. -Carl Jung

*I want to unfold.

I don't want to stay folded anywhere, because where I am folded, there I am a lie.

And I want my grasp of things true before you.

I want to describe myself like a painting that I looked at closely for a long time,

like a saying that I finally understood,

like the pitcher I use every day,

like the face of my mother,

like a ship that took me safely through the wildest storm of all.

- Rainer Maria Rilke

And my favorite (which found it's home on the back of my door, so I see it every day)

As I read over these, I am reminded how much more I want to learn, grow, and become. This begins by getting up, getting out, and being in this world. So Monday, I am ready for you! Bring it!

PLEASE free to leave your own favorite words of inspiration in the comments! :)
