I Choose To Rise

Published by That Mom of Four on May 7, 2017
 We have have the power to choose what we want to do. The path of our life is chosen by us. I choose to rise. Each morning I choose to rise and be the best person I can be. The person I want to be because I we only have one life and I want it to be my best life.

The sun does not move. The earth moves thus the sun does not rise. WE RISE. Every day we rise. But why do we rise? Is it your kids, your family, your desire, your passion for something that powers you to rise and go after it? Is it the possibilities of doing great things or the understanding that if we don't rise, it won't happen. Being a Mother and a wife is one of the greatest motivators that I have for rising each day. I know that I rise because I know that they depend on me. It's not just my job, it's my passion to take care of them and give them the best life I can give them. I want to make the most of time with them. Creating the memories with them so that they will know I loved them with all of my heart and soul. I choose to rise. I choose to rise each morning with the sun and use my energy to live a good life. The power of knowing that I can change what I want to change is a force to be reckoned with. Aim high. The sky is the limit. Rise above the noise and choose the life that makes you happy. Because choosing happiness will always rise you to the top. There's no better feeling than rising to be your best self with the people you love. Laugh more. Smile more. Love more. I am attending the 2017 Mom 2.0 Summit in Orlando, Florida. Please follow along with me (@TampaMama) and the hundreds of other Moms that will be attending this empowering conference.
