Do you have what it takes?

How to have Gump-tion!

Sometimes you just need to run.

Sometimes you need to stop thinking about all the what ifs, whys, hows, and trust in the plan. Sometimes your plan changes and that's OK!!

What if your plan isn't what you originally thought?

Guess what? It won't EVER be exactly what you thought!!!

What if it gets dark and people leave you?

It WILL get dark and people WILL leave you!

Don't give up!!! Run toward something you want and believe in!

If you start running people will join in and you will give people hope!  Stop thinking and just do it. Don't give up.  Run through the pile of dog shit...it happens!!  

When you fall, get up, keep your head up, put one foot in front of the other! 

Sometimes we need to trust. 

As Forest Gump says,

"You got to put the past behind you before you can move on!!"

Stop thinking too far ahead of you. There are days when you need a vision but there are days when you just need to run because you can't see 2 feet ahead of you!! It may be necessary to glance over your shoulder but if you start running backward you won't see what's important and you will fall.

Also, sometimes you may need to slow down.
There are times when you need to stop thinking and start running.

Sometimes you will feel lost.

But in the end the race is only with yourself!

I believe in you.

You will never know your limits unless you push yourself to them.

You've got this!

You're going to face steep hills but then there will be valleys.

There are times when you wonder why am I doing this?

Just keep running.

You're stronger than you think.

I believe in you.

How to be a BADASS mom

Why am I a badass mom?
Well, if you know anything about me, you're probably expecting me to say the following (but keep reading)

Completing the Tough Mudder...

Getting shocked by electrical wires...

Jumping off a cliff..

Getting my blackbelt in martial arts..

You might even guess that I would say I'm a badass because I went through a divorce.

But I don't think being a badass mom has to do with any of those things...

Being a badass is about integrity.  It's about saying no often and fighting for all the amazing things that are awesome in life.  Being a badass is about childbirth, giving timeouts, fighting for a marriage, fighting for peace after divorce, respecting people that aren't respectful back, handling difficult family members, making time to volunteer, grieving the loss of loved ones, biting your tongue, potty training while sick as a dog, finding strength for a crying child in the middle of the night when you're exhausted, teething, juggling dinner while the kids are fighting, breastfeeding, not spending money you don't have, being patient when you really want to scream, staying positive when your feeling empty, and not falling to the victim status when you feel like life is beating you up.

The truth is that I know so many bad ass moms that have no idea the strength that they possess.  They wouldn't consider themselves a badass...but they are..

Being a badass is about finding GUMPTION.  It's about keeping your head held high, and fighting for what you want and what's in the best interest of their children.

DISCLAIMER: My badass title could be revoked (on may occasions)

 

All you need is gumption

How do you define success?

Do you feel successful in your life?

If not, maybe you need a little

GUMPTION

Gumption is the ability to find resources you need and having the courage to make things happen.

Our life is based on a certain amount of days....what you do every day creates the life you want.
