Monday Morning Motivator & Some Points to Ponder...
     "People who say that life is not worthwhile are really saying that they themselves have no personal goals which are worthwhile. Get yourself a goal worth working for. Better still, get yourself a project. Always have something ahead of you to "look forward to" ~~ to work for and to hope for. "
    ~~ Maxwell Maltz

     In my life, I have gone through several peaks and valleys. The peaks have been associated with a goal and having achieved it. Once achieved, I sometimes failed to replace that goal with another; hence the valley. When I have a goal, I have a reason to get out of bed and face the world. You do have a reason to get out of bed this morning, don't you?

Beautiful photograph. Taking pictures like this one is a good reason to get out with your camera. Let's focus on our goals for good health and much happiness.

Have an outstanding week.

Life is good!

An eye on the year end goal....and having a regular review of how we get there...how close we are...and what we have to do continually to achieve it....keeps you moving in a positive direction.

Good morning Michael; My youngest daughter just gave her mother and I a very good reason to get up in the morning. She gave birth to a beautiful son last June. We have the privilege of watching him 2 days a week. We are in love, the mountain can't get any higher then this.

Michael, every day is a new adventure, That alone is reason enough to get out and get going early, and of course to see what type of photo you got posted. Nice shot

Where is that Michael? It is so beautiful. The perfect Monday morning motivation. I have to agree with Patricia as well, without a few vally's the peaks just wouldn't be quite as extraordinary.

It matters to us as much as it matters to you.

Wonderful post Michael and terrific photo. It always helps to have purpose in life. One shouldn't wait for someone to assign your purpose, so setting goals help keep your life meaningful. And like a few comments, sometimes those valleys help us to appreciate the peaks more, or we can continually enjoy the quest.

Michael - you give me a reason to get out of bed to see what exquisite photo you posted for the day- lol! First, your photo is so tranquil and reminds me of fall, my favorite season.

Second, I've had my share of peeks and valleys (as you know), but lately I'm always excited to get out of bed, log onto AR with my cup of coffee and post and comment. Next I go to work which I love. So yes, I am always motivated to rise and shine thanking God for each day.

Good evening Michael. Love the photo and I never really thought about the lows being because I didn't set back up goals. Good call.

Michael, great quote. Life is definitely what we make it. Luckily, even if you find yourself in a valley one day, you have chance to climb to the peak the next!

Its very important to have a goal, otherwise you don't know what to do. And how do you measure success if you do not have goals in the first place?

HI MICHAEL! The goal everyday is to get out of bed happy simply because I was fortunate enough to wake up. Having goals - small or not - is just the icing on top of that!
