MommaMae's word for the day...

Who you are, what you do is entirely up to you regardless of what has happened in your life.  Your past does NOT define you.  Your thoughts, feelings, and subsequent actions and choices shape your life.  You have the power to define your existence and your experiences. Own your power, change your mindset and you will change your life.

MommaMae's word for the day (via Iyanla Vanzant)...

Spend time alone. Pay attention to what you are feeling. Investigate your thoughts. Examine your activities. Do not judge, condemn, or criticize anything you are doing or have done. Postpone making decisions and pronouncements until you are clear and peaceful within. What is going on in the world is not your truth. Your truth is within you.

MommaMae's word for the day...

If someone wants to love you, you can't stop them.  If someone doesn't love you, you can't make them. Don't cross an ocean for someone who isn't willing to jump a puddle for you. If you are only an option in his/her life, don't make that person a priority in yours.

MommaMae's word for the day...

I see and hear so many people complaining about drama in their lives.  If you have drama you either 1. allow it in your life or 2. are the origin of it.  If you create a storm, don't be surprised when it rains. You can't keep doing the same things and expect change to happen.  Change will not happen until YOU make it happen.

MommaMae's word for the day (via Iyanla Vanzant) :

Feel what you feel and allow it to pass. Don't judge your feelings or yourself for having them. Do not label your feelings good or bad, right or wrong. Drop your hands to your sides and give yourself permission to ride out the emotional tidal waves that are sure to surface every now and then. Each time an emotion surfaces, this is a sure sign that you are working through it in order to release it.

MommaMae's word for the day...

Happiness is an inside job.  Don't put the keys to your happiness in someone else's pocket.
