I heard motivation is key in your success at anything. I am pretty well educated when it comes to certain topics, like self help. I have been a single mom for ten years now because I come from a very good family, and luckily was raised by parents who showed me what love is. I am very fortunate to have such a wonderful family, and believe me; we've had our share of ups and downs. The fact of the matter is this; I have been so worried about money and safety lately, I have stopped enjoying the little things in life. Like the birds, trees, and the little bit of sun that's right in front of my face. So for today I will try not to worry about money, if I'll have food at the end of the month, and how I'm going to catch up. I will be thankful for what I have instead of what I don't have. It's catching up to me, and my health is being affected by the stress and worry that accompanies poverty and lack of support. I want to work, and have been applying for part time jobs. I know things will get better, God is just testing me. I believe in the power of the Holy Ghost, and am so grateful I have been given a second chance! I hope others will take a break from worry for the day and maybe follow a child around. My Mom once told me to try and view the world from a child's perspective when it comes to dealing with certain things out of our control. MOTIVATE yourself to set realistic goals with a timeline and face your fears one day at a time. It can be real scary and frustrating at times, I know first hand believe me. I also know God will protect those who are honest and sincere because He has done it for my son and I thus far! We have moved eight times in ten years, and pray to God we can just live a somewhat "normal" life! Please keep us in your prayers and I will do the same. Do what's right, and keep fighting.
