Monday, Monday

I saw this on Facebook a couple of weeks ago and thought it was worth expanding upon.



What are your abilities? You might also think of these as skills, aptitudes or talents. There are many free online aptitude tests you can take to see what you are good at. Here's one.

There are many things that you may be good at but don't particularly enjoy doing. Maybe it's something you're good at doing at work but you don't really enjoy doing it. But if it's something you enjoy then you're more likely to do it. There are also lots of interest tests online to see what you like to do. Here's a test put out by the US Department of Labor.

Attitude plays a huge role in everything you do.  Whether or not you're good at something or if you're interested in it or not, your attitude determines how well you do it. Your attitude is something you choose. A positive attitude makes everything easier while a negative attitude makes everything more difficult. I think it's much better to make things as easy as possible. And yes, there is a test for that, too!

In the 9 to 5 world you can't always get to do what you like or are good at, but you can always choose to do your best.

Interesting days

May 20 - https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/be-a-millionaire-day/ It may be better to visualize being a millionaire than actually pretending to be one and spending money that you don't have. Although, I have played the Millionaire Money Game, which is kind of like a combination of visualizing and spending money like a millionaire. I highly recommend it! I think it's time to play again. It's also https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/pick-strawberries-day/ Although I may just grab a basket at the produce market around the corner
