Goooood morning readers! How are you? Monday is here: Head up and let's work!

Monday Morning Quotes: A place where, each Monday, I'll bring my favourite quotes to send you a bit of my positivity to start the week on full power! Hope you enjoy it.

Source: Lars Schmidt Grael is a brazilian sailor and medalist. He was ten times Brazilian and five times South American champion for the Tornado class, also two times Olympic winner. In September 1998, he suffered a serious accident caused by the negligence of an irresponsible boat driver that left the boat propeller uncovered, which amputated one of the athlete's legs. Grael then gradually began to take a role to promote the sport in politics. He's never stopped sailing.

Some times when I see difficulties on whatever I want do to, I immediately start questioning myself - Can I do this? Is this too much for me?

Then I remember of this quote and how tough Grael has been to continue sailing and doing what he loves, even upon the lost of his leg. I also remember that one day sailors saw the ocean as a great vast water extension - How many times explorers tried to cross the Drake without sucess in the past?

That is called determination, the strong desire for doing something, for achieving what you want. I can't help but adjusting my midset to a positive vibe. Afterall, if one day people conquered great goals, why can't I?

I would love to hear from you. Are you the type of person that pursue your goals, or you give up easily? Does Grael story motivate you? Feel free to 'philosophize' on the comments down bellow.
