Motivational Monday #54

You know what? Monday is probably not my worst day of the week. I think from now on, I'm going to need two motivational days. I like Mondays because although I've spent the weekend working, I feel like I've somewhat rested and become a little more tolerant of life. Mondays excite me because I get to see the cute little faces of my beautiful children and have them come up and want to tell me about what they've done- as if they've missed me. It's a lovely feeling. I think that for me, Wednesdays are probably the hardest time for me. Wednesdays are those days that although you know there are only two days left, there are still two days left and they also are my longest day- I stay at school til 8PM. *yawn!*

Anyway, my message of motivational for today is

Everyone knows that nothing is handed to you on a plate (unless you are a really rich child that gets everything they want, or you couldn't get less, sit about on your butt and get handed money...) and you have to work hard but I don't think everyone knows this until they grow up. You don't get praise or you don't get good at something unless you take those stairs that make your thighs burn after you've finished climbing them. You have to put that extra hard work in to climb those last couple of stairs to get that success. And when you're at the bottom, it feels impossible to get to the top and the first couple of stairs are easy but then when you get tired, they become harder and harder.

I feel like my first couple of weeks were hard, those first steps were some of the hardest I've taken but these next steps are even harder. It's become easier in terms of I know what to expect but the expectations have just flown through the roof. And I know now that there is no easy way for me to finish this year and pass my NQT year.

There is going to be a lot of sweat and tears that goes into this career and I hope that at the end, it'll all be worth it!

This is where my strength lies. I may cry a lot during the week because of how much stress I'm under and not feeling good enough but I know no matter how much I cry or how defeated I am, I refuse to stay down. I refuse to fall and stay there. I get up the next day and try even harder.

The tears I have shred over this job (5 weeks in) are more than the entire amount of tears I have cried over any work before, including any uni work. It's insane but those tears show how much I care and that caring will get me through anything.

Monday, come at me because I'm ready for you! Have the fighting spirit and always strive to have more, to do more and to reach higher than you could ever possibly dream of.

Be the best you can be and get to those stars in the sky!

I love you all. You all have so much potential, try and reach it
