Monday Motivation

Monday Quote: Do it with passion

This quote is something that we try to remember on a daily basis, in everything we do. What’s the point in doing something if you aren’t going to give it your all? I like trying to apply this to everything – even mundane little tasks you normally don’t like doing. Last weekend I had to clean my apartment, something I hate. But I put on some music and cleaned it as best as I possibly could, and didn’t stop there – I redecorated on top of that, adding a little mason jar full of flowers and other little pretty decorations that made me happy. I felt so accomplished and proud of myself afterwords! This especially applies to work as well – be as passionate about the simple tasks are you are about larger, exciting projects.

 Make it your goal this week to do everything with passion –you’ll like the results!

It's always a great day to DV8!
