Monday Morning Motivation (3/21/11)

An excellent Monday Morning to you:

This morning, the motivation will be short and sweet: be yourself!

Be yourself in its truest form. Be yourself because when you're not, the people you surround yourself with aren't as well. Be yourself, good or bad, upstanding or dirtbag, heroic or villian. Your ability to smile will grow with each day you learn something new about what makes you, YOU.

Execute with excellence this week!
