We usually try to share some motivators on Monday, but having Valentine’s Day fall on Monday is probably some kind of motivator all its own. I mean, if you hate your job, but have a crush on someone you work with who doesn’t know you exist, a day like today might finally motivate you to at least say “hi”, or on the other hand, motivate you to finally get a new job because you can’t stand the pain. On the other hand, if you own a flower shop, and your significant other owns a chocolate shop, what a great way to start the week! For many of us, Valentine’s Day lost its charm after about second grade, when the mandatory delivery of multiple Valentine cards ended. But somehow, many manage to keep the love alive. As you can imagine, there are probably more quotes about love than just about any other topic, so we had a hard time whittling it down….
