Advice From My Mother
Our Mothers give us so much that we carry throughout our lives. We can express our gratitude by passing along the wisdom they bestowed upon us to the next generation. As a mother of loving children, who I believe, are perfection personified. I can see how my mother's seven principles
reflect in us to become as grownups. I am so proud of how they have blossomed into wonderful adults. And I am forever grateful to my mother for everything she taught me. True, as such, they know when you need them most and stand by you guiding you always.
In honor of my Mother and all Mothers, I want to share following seven lessons I learned from her:
1) Work Hard - Do not expect things to to be handed to you. You must work hard to achieve your goals. Work will provide you with a successful meaning and contribute to a successful life.
2) Family First - Remember always that your family are your anchors in this chaotic world. Your love for them must be first and foremost.
3) Never forget your roots but be comfortable anywhere and everywhere - Know who you are and never forget where you come from. Be open-minded and curious about other people, places and things that are different from what you know or grew up with.
4) Don't be afraid to be an outlier - Take risks and do not hesitate to stake your claim. Innovative ideas come from those who are not afraid to stand apart from others.
5) Be Resilient and bounce back again and again - No one gets through this life without facing failures. Most of us face it numerous times. The trick is to see the failure as a step towards success.
Pick yourself back up and do not dwell on the past.
6) Connections are important - We are not solitary islands. We thrive off our connections with others.
Cultivate strong relationships by showing others how they are important to you.
7) Cultivate a sense of Inner Ease - My mother had a steady calm within her that allowed to weather
difficult situations. We all need to build this inner strength and ease. This internal calm can keep
you centered and focused throughout your life.
