a few things I want my sons to always remember
As a mother to 4 handsome, intelligent, kind, funny, talented little dudes, there are a few solid pieces of advice I hope they carry with them always.
Own your emotions
If you are mad, go ahead and be mad.
Crying is absolutely ok, for any reason. No one can tell you how to feel. Our emotions make us human. A good screaming or crying session is often quite beneficial. Also, never be afraid to be ridiculously happy.
Never apologize for being you
Always strive to be the best versions of yourselves, but never apologize for being you. Whatever makes you happy, do that.
"Be yourself, everyone else is already taken"
~Oscar Wilde
Be kind to yourselves
Our flaws are often less noticable and bothersome to other than they are to us!
Take some time every day to remind yourselves that you are enough. Be confident, love yourselves....it's important.
Be kind to others
It won't cost you anything, and it is not hard. Practice kindness always. First be kind, then ask questions. Hold doors, smile randomly, offer a kind word.
Never stop learning
Our brains are incredible tools that we have built right in to us to make life a tad easier. Feed your brain. Absorb knowledge whenever and however you can.
"If you are the smartest person in the room, find a different room"
~Michael Dell
Dream big
Set goals for yourselves, after you achieve them set another.
Always be a work in progress.
You can shape your reality. Do it! and do it BIG!
Time goes fast
Appreciate the little thing, you will learn that they are the big things. Enjoy life! Eat cake for dinner, dance, be silly, take risks, tell people you love them...and often.
Love,
Mom
Thanks for reading!
I hope you enjoyed!
Come see me in whaleshares discord!
I'd love to meet you!
Hi. I saw you in Whaleshare :D
This is truly beautiful. I agree with mostly of the things you say to your kids, and I'm pretty sure that if I have kids I'll teach them the same.
greetings!
