Motivational Monday - With a Touch of Humor!

By
Real Estate Agent with Real Estate Showcase Photography


What motivates you to get out of a bad mood, to give it up and move on?  For me, it's usually humor.  So, if you need a bit of humor-motivation to get going this week - See if this helps! ;)

 

I always take life with a grain of salt, ...plus a slice of lemon, ...and a shot of tequila.

Some people say "If you can't beat them, join them". I say "If you can't beat them, beat them", because they will be expecting you to join them, so you will have the element of surprise.  (uh huh, go ahead. Read it again, I had to!)

I didn't say it was your fault, I said I was blaming you.

Hospitality: making your guests feel like they're at home, even if you wish they were.

Money can't buy happiness, but it sure makes misery easier to live with.

If at first you don't succeed, skydiving is not for you!

A TV can insult your intelligence, but nothing rubs it in like a computer.

You're never too old to learn something stupid.

And my favorite:

You do not need a parachute to skydive. You only need a parachute to skydive twice.

 

                                    Have a great week!

I like the one with the money and happiness Debi. It can take away some of the hardship and frustration for sure. Great list.

Debbie, You made me remember the time I went for a sky diving lesson and while I was there a fellow had a chute malfunction and luckily landed in a tree. It was then that I decided I would be the one to malfunction without a tree to catch me!! I decided to stay on the ground! Moral of the story, the fellow finally had one too many malfunctions and is no longer with us. Word on the street was he was a sloppy chute packer! Never trust a sloppy chute packer!!!

Caren, I'm with you! You know the old saying about jumping out of a perfectly good airplane.... :)

LOL John - Thanks alot. Now you've gone and done it.

Marney- yes, the tequila one is pretty good.... Maybe have to rethink which is my fave! ;)

Cheryl - Too funny, my Dad used to say that too!!!
