MommaMae's word for the day:

Your reputation is who people think you are.  Your character is who you are when no one's watching.  If what you're doing in the dark can't be done in the light, then you're living a lie.  If you want true peace in your life, let your reputation BE your character.

MommaMae's word for the day:

Just because you can doesn't mean you should.  Don't mistake temptation for opportunity.

MommaMae's word for the day:

Stop complaining about your harvest because you  reap what you sow.  Want a different crop?  Plant different seeds.

MommaMae's word for the day...

MommaMae's word for the day...

Don't make permanent decisions based on temporary emotions.

MommaMae's word for the day:

Sometimes the best thing to do or say is nothing.

MommaMae's word for the day:

Every day starts as a blank slate.  Fresh, new and full of possibilities.  We write our story each day through our actions, our choices, our words.  You can't change what happened yesterday, but you can decide what you will make of today.  As Dr. Seuss said, “You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose. You're on your own. And you know what you know. And YOU are the one who'll decide where to go...”

MommaMae's word for the day..

Self-talk affects our lives in so many ways.  We become what we think about the most and negative self-talk is a burden to our lives.  If you had a friend who talked to you the way you talk to yourself, how long would you allow that person to continue to be your friend?  Change your mind and you will change your life.

MommaMae's word for the day...

If life is so short, why do we do so many things we don’t like and like so many things we don’t do?

MommaMae's word for the day:

Your attendance is not required to every argument you're invited to. Choose your battles carefully.

MommaMae's word for the day:

Don't let what you want make you forget what you are already blessed with.  Humility and gratitude will take you so very far in life.

MommaMae's word for the day...

No isn't a dirty word.  You can use it and still be a nice person.  Don't allow others to overwhelm your life because you're afraid to say, "No." 

MommaMae's word for the day (borrowed from the movie "Monster in Law")...

Life is too short to live the same day twice.

MommaMae's word for the day...

You can't reap what you don't sow.

MommaMae's word for the day...

Many of you have probably heard the expression, "The more you complain, the longer God lets you live."  What they don't tell you is the more you complain, the more you'll draw things into your life to complain about.  The reverse is also true.  The more things you find to be happy about, the more of those you will attract to your life as well.  I don't know about you, but I choose to be happy.  Change your mind and you'll change your life.

MommaMae's word for the day (inspired by Daily Teachings by Rhonda Byrne):

No matter what occurs in your life, there is never just one way.  In every circumstance and moment of your life, there are two paths available to you.  The two paths are: the positive and the negative.  YOU are the one who chooses the path you will take. 

MommaMae's word for the day...

What you think about, you bring about because thoughts become things.  Your thoughts affect your feelings and your feelings affect your actions.  If you want to change your life, change your mind.

MommaMae's word for the day...

Don't let your mistakes become your habits.

MommaMae's word for the day...

You are no more and no less than you believe yourself to be.  The world takes you at your own estimate of your self worth. Don't put yourself in the bargain basement.
