Mariah, Don't Let Your Attitude Defeat Your Purpose!!




All throughout my childhood, adolescence and even now that I am a grown adult with children my mother still tells me " Don't Let Your Attitude Defeat Your Purpose!" I never really understood what she meant until I was out in the world, on my own and responsible for making the decisions that have absolutely shaped my life today. What the phrase "Don't let your attitude defeat your purpose" means is to not permit any form of negativity to let you lose sight of what you want to achieve in your life! If you want to land that promotion at work you will not achieve it by sitting around thinking about how difficult or impossible it is to attain - you can achieve it by changing your can'ts into cans. Anything is attainable and within your reach as long as you believe it is!

Think it into existence

Today's blog is all about being positive! I am such a strong believer in the law of attraction; negative thoughts invite negativity to your life whereas positive thoughts transform your life into the harmonious & peaceful life that you deserve to live. How have you allowed your thoughts to shape your life lately? What thoughts have you been allowing to drive your attitude and actions? We are all guilty on a day to day basis of letting thoughts overcome us that should be kept far away. It's important to be present and aware of how our thoughts shape our life so that we can make changes where necessary! I have been doing extensive research and some soul searching if you will on my own thinking and how it has shaped my life thus far. I have truly found that the effects of one continuous positive thought through out the day are INCREDIBLE! What I did recently was selected a few topics in my life that I felt needed a positive boost which were body image & financial we...

Where my #MeToo Started, I was 17 and I knew It All

Honestly, what I am about to recount was an experience that my body withstood while my spirit floated helplessly overhead. It was the first time that I ever willingly put myself into a situation that I literally had no control over. I was 17 and I knew it all, I had just broken up for the third time with my manipulative now ex-husband; at the time we were dating. My way of getting back at the ex was to do everything that we did together but with other people – the drinking, partying and rebelling against my parents. I remember I had roped my best friend at the time into coming with me for a night that truly influenced the woman that I am today. My misery so desperately needed the company. At this point of my rebellious 17th year , I began hanging around a family member who was then and is still to this day fighting many demons of her own, we’ll call her la prima. La prima was even more disconnected from her sense of self than I was, every single weekend she’d lose herself to drugs,...

An Open Letter To The Person Dragging Me Down

Today we got into it, just like any other day except for the fact that you were drunk and more verbally abusive than normal. During the day, we had a heart to heart in which I thought you were being sincere. You told me you feel so bad about yourself for being such a disappointment all of your life which is why you turn to beer  Which deep down, I know is just part of the pity party you throw yourself daily. I told you that everyone that you have disappointed throughout your life doesn't give a shit anymore because they are out there living their lives, the ones you are disappointing the most are your kids and I. You were speechless, so I thought we had some sort of a breakthrough. As the night went on, I watched a movie with my little ones,  eventually falling asleep on the couch while you sat in front of the house and drank maybe 8 bottles of beer and half of a bottle of wine. When you decided you wanted more, you woke  me up out of a dead sleep trying to convince me a...
