Happy Monday #69

Hey there and Happy Monday to you!

 

This week we’re going to get right into it…

 

Happy Monday #69

 

Last week, I stumbled upon this story.

 

If you haven’t read it already, a fairly overweight chap was trying to lose weight by jogging every day.  One day he found a note – left specifically for him – that someone had taped to a post along his route.

 

When he opened it, he found this…

I’m not ashamed to say it… well, okay okay, so I am… I actually cried (only a little though!) when I read it.

 

When you think about it, it’s quite awesome really:

 

  • This chap decided that he wasn’t happy with an aspect of his life.  And despite it being a really difficult thing to change, he took the bull by the horns, took control… and did it!

 

  • Meanwhile, this lady went out of her way to do something to make this stranger feel better about himself and what he was striving to do.

 

Awesome!

 

So my challenge to myself this week… and to you all… is to do something similar this week.

 

Take that part of your life that you’re not happy with, that’s been nagging at you… and commit to changing it!

 

Better still, take action!

 

Take that opportunity to acknowledge what someone around you is trying to do.  Tell them they’ve done a good job, acknowledge those few pounds they’ve lost or congratulate them on making your team a happier place.

 

Whatever it is… tell the truth and help them on their journey.

 

Happy Monday!  Make this week a good one 🙂
