My rules in LIFE-mother saying:
‘Every decision is the right decision at that moment. Don’t say you made a mistake. If you don’t like the outcome.’
I have a loving family; mother, father, sisters, and brothers. Our starting point in life starts growing up together and dreaming together, even when we have different opinions in our decisions. We can rely on the solid foundation of our familial ties to help us through life’s ups and downs.
Growing up, my mother was my ideal woman. I saw in her the strength of being what is a woman. It did not dictate her lack of and not having as a hindrance of her capability and capacity. I was so grateful and honored that I had her as my mother, who molded me into what I am today.
My mother instilled in me the importance of making good decisions and thinking things through growing up. To weigh the pros and cons and consider the long-term implications of my choices. I have always kept this sentence throughout my life ‘Every decision is the right decision at that moment. Don’t say you made a mistake. If you don’t like the outcome.’
When she always said those things, I hated it; cause I saw it as shooty nonsense words. As I became more mature in life, I realized that she was right. That helped me make sound decisions, not wavering, in choosing a life path or handling a difficult situation. I am grateful for her guidance and the firm foundation of principles she nourished. With her help, I have navigated life’s challenges and seized opportunities with a good outlook on facing everything that would and could happen in my life.
She’s also my biggest fan; winner or failure, she was there to cheer me up, not to lose hope. I hope she’ll be my mother again if there is a reincarnation because she was a great example of a woman that wasn’t afraid to take risks and push boundaries. She showed me that you can still push through and become stronger no matter what life throws at you.
To dream BIG and HIGH cause, it costs you nothing. Laugh loud and enjoy life for anything or nothing, for simple or grandeur experiences, sadness, and loneliness when given.
My mother may not be perfect, but she is reliable, strong, and determined. These are the qualities that I hope I have inherited from her.
