From me to you (and to me, too): Flipping Flaubert

For inspiration on this Monday, I turned to a Random Word Generator (https://randomwordgenerator.com/motivational-quote.php) and stumbled upon its motivational quote feature. The very first spin gave me this gem:

“Be steady and well-ordered in your life so that you can be fierce and original in your work.” — Gustave Flaubert

Gustave Flaubert! The influential French novelist! Born over 200 years ago! Wrote Madame Bovary, which I know nothing about.

Should I add Madame Bovary to my reading list? Let me know!

Here’s a twist, though. My first playful instinct was to flip the quote:

“Be steady and well-ordered in your work so that you can be fierce and original in your life.”

Where are you happier to be fierce: At work or in life?

Which version speaks to you more? Drop your thoughts in the comments!

I hope this sparks some inspiration as you head into the week. Let me know how I can support you!
