Keep up the MOMentum

By Molly Moua

I’ve been a single-mom raising two girls for the last 8 years and in my stressed-out, double duty role as parent and provider - there have been plenty of times I’ve stopped and given myself a pep talk. 

 

So, for all you ladies who work just as hard or if not more – keep up the MOMentum! What you do is appreciated.

 

In our race for a stable life and loving family, pain and obstacles will confront all of us. But how we handle them determines if we become part of the problem or solution. Be sure that you make progress. Exercise persistence, patience and courage even when progress isn’t apparent. Because you are not failing – you are moving forward.

 

There is a Confucius quote that says, “Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.” While in business, there is another saying that goes - "just KISS it" (keep it simple stupid). So remember happiness has no boundaries, it happens anywhere, everyday and any time you want it. Don’t over think it. Be grateful for the good things in your life and make goals and an action plan for the other things you desire.

 

Surround yourself within a positive environment, with motivational thoughts and great people and at a minimum, always remember - “you rock”!
