Madness Monday... the day of the week where I try and find a way to make you feel uncomfortable so you appreciate your mundane day to day existence... or... you know... just talk about madness maybe.

Mondays are hard. We all know that. Just the idea of getting up in the morning is a miserable prospect for a lot of us. (Those of us that aren't crazy like me at any rate.) This Monday had been hard for even me though. I could not actually think of a good subject to talk about in a blog post. I had eventually even begun writing a story akin to the "This Morning" in one of my other blog posts. However, strangely enough, in my typically daily tweeting like a typical twit, one of my dear friends began tweeting inspirational quotes to which I replied with my own. (Jumping joys of goodness, an idea falls into my lap. *claps hands*)
Inspiration is always a handy thing to have, so here is a list of some of the best one's we threw to each other to help you guys get through the Monday and, with luck, the rest of the week.
- "I'm proud of the scars in my soul. They remind me that I have an intense life" - Paulo Coelho
- "Do not pray to for an easier life. Pray to be stronger men." - John F Kennedy
- "Raise your words, not your voice. It is rain that grows flowers, not thunder" - Rumi
- "To live is to suffer, to survive is to find some meaning in the suffering." - Friedrich Nietzsche
- "Great opportunities to help others seldom come, but small ones surround us every day" - Sally Koch
- "What are miracles but the extraordinary acts of ordinary men?" - Me
- "Hanging onto resentment is letting someone you despise live rent-free in your head" - Ann Landers
- "I'd rather regret the things I've done than regret the things I haven't done." -Lucille Ball
- "When you have a clear purpose, you won't have time for negativity" - Mark Victor Hansen
- "It's better to be a lion for a day than a sheep all your life." - Elizabeth Kenny
- "Instead of waiting for the moment, live the moment" - R. Green
- "It has long been an axiom of mine that the little things are infinitely the most important." - Arthur Conan Doyle
- "Rudeness is a weak imitation of strength" - Eric Hoffer
Today's word of the day is "Axiom". I don't know why, but every time I find a useful word like that which I haven't seen before, I get really excited. :D Huzzah for Axiom.
Anyway's, I would like to thank the wonderful Madeline De Franca (@MiniiCanha) for bestowing upon me the idea for today's Madness Monday post (and for informally naming today "Inspirational Quotes Day". :D ) She's a really awesome person and you should definitely be following. In all likelihood our quote train continued for long after, but time waits for no man.
As always, thank you for reading, and have an AWESOME day.
