Motivation Mondays: Dream
“If you can dream it, you can do it.” Walt Disney

Motivation Mondays: Dream – Dream it quote by Walt Disney
Motivation Mondays
I’ve been following the Blogging 201 course on WordPress and Monday’s assignment struck a chord with me: Today’s assignment: create a recurring blogging event on your site, and/or make plans to attend a blogging conference. I’ve been thinking of ways to strengthen the Motivational theme of this blog and the assignment gave me courage to take a leap of faith and add a weekly event to my blog. Since this blog is called Mirth and Motivation, I thought it would be a good idea to start the week with a motivational quote or two. So welcome to Motivation Mondays! I invite you to jump in and add your Motivation Mondays post and I’d do a round-up of them for us and others to enjoy.

These are great quotes.They remind me exactly why I went back to college.
Good for you. I wish you much success!
Hi, Eliz!
I’m coming out of hiatus (or hibernation, depression, coma – whatever that was…) and am energised and motivated to make a new dream come true: “Quilting Oneness” – I’ll comment again when it’s live 🙂
The Blogging 201 came exactly at the right moment, in fact it started the same day that I set up my new blog. “Enermazing” will be continued, too, but only with occasional posts.
Love,
Maria xxx
So delighted to hear from you Maria. I’m so happy you are getting back on track. We have both been on hiatus… I took about one year off and the return has been choppy. Recently signed up with a VA and its turning around. Please let me know once your site is live as I’d love to continue where we left off. Hugs.
This is a great idea! It helps keep the motivation going which is hard sometimes especially when the winter blues hit.
Blogging is a tougher business than people realize. Wanting to share information that is helpful to others requires some organization. Your tips are helpful. Thanks.
Those are all great quotes. Especially the one from Walt Disney.
Interesting! I’ve never heard of the Blogging 201 course… maybe I should check it out.
That Walt Disney Quote is one of my favorites. IT’s definitely a motivator for me.
This is a great idea and I would love to dive into this!
Join in. You are all welcome. Thank you!
I love the idea of Motivation Mondays. These quotes are great – and so inspiring to start the week.
Thank you! Appreciate the feedback Lois.
This sounds really fun and i plan on taking part. Thank you for this post…i look forward to being a part of this.
Thank you Ryan. As you can imagine, I need the help too. I find Mondays anxiety inducing and hopefully, this exercise would help me shift perspectives. 😉

Oh, I love Motivation! I’ve been stuck lately, and I need a little push to get going again!
You’re so right about seizing the moment and following your dreams! This is something I’ve thought about before and something I want to encourage my daughter to do.
Please do. Our daughters need to learn this early.
I love this idea. I can always use a little motivation.
Thank you! Join in when you can
This is a great idea for Mondays. And, Disney is very motivating!
These quotes are very inspiring! Thanks for sharing, I can always use a good dose of motivation!
You are always welcome Dawn! 🙂
I love inspirational quotes!
Thank you! I love that new photo of you too. 🙂
Seize the moment and follow your dreams is so true!
Thank you for this post today. I have been having a rough day and it put a smile on my face.
Thank you for your generous comment, it put a smile on my face. 🙂
This is great, motivation Mondays sound awesome. You just gave me an idea for a workshop for a conference I am holding in the spring, thank you. I am looking forward to participating here more often. If you can dream it, you can most definitely do it! Disney is proof : )
Thank you Karla! Let me know when your workshop is ready. Best wishes too.
If you can dream it, you can do it – I wish it was so easy …
I love your opening quote. It is just the motivation that I need to make it through this day, which is going to be extremely long.
Hope you found some relief. Sending you my best wishes. 😀
I look forward to reading more of your theme topics!
Great. Do join in when you can.
Motivation Mondays are a great way to start the week. I use to do that on my blog.. I really need to get back to it.
Well, let’s all join in and encourage each other anyway. Thank you for your feedback.
What beautiful quotes. That is so true about dreaming. Dream big or go home! 🙂
Love your reply Amanda. You sound just like a New Yorker. Do it or go home. Haha! 😉
You are so much better at this stuff than I am. I do go to the wordpress forums now and then squawking about not being able to link something or other, and I do have the Daily Post in my reader, but I don’t think its ever guided my content. Perhaps I ought to think again. Once again as always, I love the quotes you use 🙂
Peter, you know I’d gladly help you with any issues you might have. I squawk at them too and they respond. Frankly, I started this to help myself and others start Mondays on an up note. Mondays are a tough start usually. Glad to see you here! 🙂 👍
I live by walt disney motto! Dreams and there to be reached and if not enjoyed along the way! Motivational monday is a fab idea, i’m sure lots will benefit.
Yes, we must keep our dreams alive.
A great idea to keep people motivated and give them a little lift to start the week. Especially with winter upon us, will see what I can contribute! 🙂 Simone x
Thank you Simone. You are an upbeat person so it’s good to see you here.
I had that C.S. Lewis quote pinned on my Twitter account for a long while. It’s fantastic! Also, I think Monday is the perfect day for motivation.
Right. I feel the same way but often fall short… This should force me to get going. TY! 🙂
This is a nice blog challenge. I will definitely join for November. I’ll leave my links here. I will also like the page in Facebook. This is a great way to bring out our creativity while contributing motivation to other people. Count me in! 🙂
Thank you and I’m glad you will join in. It’s just a way to start the week on an upbeat note.
If you can dream it, you can do it. such true words. we always should dream.
Love the motivation quotes you have. I’m a big believer in creating your destiny rather than letting it all just happen. Thanks for the reminder!
You are welcome. TY1 🙂
These are totally fabulous quotes!!!! Love reading stuff like this. They really are motivational 😉
Thanks for the enthusiasm. I really appreciate it.
I love these quotes and definitely believe in what Walt Disney said! It’s the law of attraction! 🙂
Interesting exercises. I will check out that Blogging 201 course site you recommended to see if it is fit for me. -Fred
Please do. It is closed for registration but you can follow along as they post all the assignments for everyone to see.
I like to give motivation as much as i can.. this is truly a great idea..
I know so Robert. You have always been one of my supporters… much appreciated. 😉
THis is perfect! Happy Monday and thanks for the motivation!
TY! 🙂
“If you can dream it, you can do it” – that sums up everything about this article. The idea of Motivation Mondays inspires me, as anyone can share a motivational information they would love to express. I wish to take part on this for sure.
Thank you Fathima! You are welcome to add to the Facebook page and community. I made both public so all can have easy access. I added the themes for November and we can all lift each other up weekly.
These are really fabulous quotes! I really needed to read some of these today. It’s been a rough one LOL!
Well I hope it helped even a little bit. TY! 🙂
I appreciate you for sharing this. We should stay motivated. Mine is to be always grateful. Count each blessing. #Gratitude
Thank you Pauline! I have to add that your VA services have been a great help to me. I couldn’t do it otherwise. 🙂
Everything starts with a dream. It’s important to dream big and work hard in achieving it.
That is true. It’s not enough to dream, we must work to achieve it too.
We need to have the idealism to go for our dreams and the passion to fulfill them. It should always go hand in hand.
Exactly. I bet that’s the maxim you employ as a distance runner. We need both (dream and passion) to stay fueled and focused. Even if there are setbacks on the path, our passion will make us get up to fulfill the dream. Thanks again for the followup comment. 🙂
I am so fascinated by this project. It is great that the bloggers who love to follow your blog as I do get united by motivational themes like the ones that you chose. As this Motivation Monday the theme is dream I would like to share a favorite quote of mine about dreams: Dreams are today’s answers to tomorrow’s questions. ~Edgar Cayce
Thank you Vanessa! Edgar Cayce is one of my favorite visionaries. I took classes through his organization years back and used to attend weekly meetings. 🙂
I love these motivational quotes. I love having big dreams and turning them into goals and achieving those things.
Good for you, you are ahead of the game. 🙂
I love the ideas of assigning a theme to a day when blogging. Thank you for sharing you motivational quotes I look forward to more. When I am feeling uninspired or off track I love looking up quotes to boost my spirits and get me back in the swing of things. Great Post!
Thank you Latifah! I am the same way. My friends know that I write this blog not because I have all the answers ( I don’t), but because I want to remind myself to stay motivated and encouraged. We often talk about what we need most. Glad you are in the group. Again welcome! 🙂
Love the idea of motivation Monday. Can definitely put you in a better mood reading these and inspired.
Exactly. That is my goal… If 1-2 or 2000 benefit from it then we have helped another person.
Love that quote from Disney.. Indeed, if you can dream it, you can do it! 🙂
Thanks for sharing. It made me smile! ^_^
This sounds like a great project! Everyone needs a little boost at the beginning of the week!
Exactly! It has kept my energy up to finish tasks on my priority list.
An inspirational quote on a Monday is just the right cure to drive away those Monday blues! Great initiative:
Thank you Akriti! Glad you checked in. 🙂
I am a dreamer and so is the hubs. We are both big dreamers. Love those quotes. I’ve always been a fan of inspirational quotes like those.
“If you can dream it, you can do it.”. Love this quote.
Love motivational Monday! So many people are doing it know, I can say it’s totally motivating me!
Love these quotes – especially the Disney one!
I like this initiative. It’s so positive and inspiring. Maybe I will submit one once I’m done with my blogging debts! Also I can do a guest blog exchange with you too? 🙂 From Singapore by the way!
Fantastic! Glad we got to chat some more about it yesterday. Looking forward to it. 🙂
Great idea. When things get tough, and they will, you have to dig deep find inspiration and find the courage to persist…even when everything or everyone around you tells you to give up.
Well said. The road to success is paved with shards of glass and some rainbows.
Very interesting quotes. They motivate us. Thanks for sharing
These are awesome quotes and very motivational indeed. I love it . Thanks for sharing.
Mondays are hard. Some positive messages are a great way to start a new week!
I might just do this. Monday is usually the most hated day of the week – even I am guilty of it. I like this one because it’s gonna help set the tone for me and it’s going to be a positive one 🙂
Exactly. Setting the tone also means not feeling guilty about what you’ve done/not done…. It’s about prioritizing.
I dreamt that I had super powers once. I still don’t think I can do that *tear*
Haha! Well keep on dreaming about it and who knows … one day you might! 🙂
It’s not Monday anymore but I needed this uplifting post! Thank you!
Dream is always dream if you only think and don’t take action to achieve. Dream big and make it!
Dreamiing is the first step in moving forward with what you want to accomplish. It’ll go hand-in-hand with planning on how to take actions.
Exactly! Dream and move your feet. I added a couple of great videos. Take a look
So true! We really never are too old to go after our dreams!
I love that you do Motivation Monday. I love the first quote by Disney.
Love it. Dream It, Do It 🙂 Like your post 😉
Thanks so much for sharing this inspiration! It will definitely help me stay motivated this week!
I found your comment in my spam box because you used a non-existent address. You can always use a different email address or social media. Thank you!
Ohhh!! I”ve seen a few of these starting up and really like the idea that people are focusing on starting the week off on a positive note. I enjoy stopping by a blog and being randomly surprised with such an upbeat post 🙂
Great. Join us whenever you can. TY!
If you can dream it then you can do it! I love this quote from Disney. It’s one of our favorites.
Happy happy happy Monday! I truly love these sayings!
Thanks again for stopping by. More to follow.
I’m liking the motivational tip! at times, its hard to be motivated but seeing others being motivated can be inspiring
Thank you Nicol. You are right about that.
I love the Walt Disney’s quote. So true and inspiring.
How do you find other posts that have done the same theme? Why aren’t they linked to this post?
Aw so this is when your weekly series began? That is so cool and sometimes when I wake up I write things down as well x
Yes. Amazing right? When we commit to a task, we never know how far we can go. Dare to dream works for me too. 🙂
There are some great quotes here 🙂 I believe we should always follow our dreams! x
What wonderful quotes! Thanks for sharing, this definitely lifted my spirits.
