Lessons My Mother Taught Me

I don’t know about you, but my mom is my main supporter. She has taught me so much, and she is the reason why I am the person I am today. There isn’t a day when I don’t call her. I mean, I have to tell her about the cute boy in class that turned around and smiled at me, or I have to cry because life is just sometimes too much. There are countless lessons my mom has taught me, but here are 10 that really make me so thankful she is my mom.

You got this.

Like I said, my mom is my main supporter, and she's always telling me I can do anything that I put my heart into.

The truth always comes out in the end.

No matter how tough of a situation I am in, my mom always reassures me that the truth will always surface, and things will work out.

You will do great, I know you will.

No doubt, she always shows the positive aspects of my life, and by golly, that helps me succeed in every way possible.

It’s okay, because I will always love you.

Whether it’s a break-up or a bad test exam, my mom always tells me I have her love and support no matter what the situation is.

Kill ‘em with kindness.

This is the biggest lesson my mom ever taught me. She believes that taking the higher road will win any battle, and she taught me to take the higher road by being kind.

Always shop clearance sales.

My mom always has told me that the best outfits or decorations come off the clearance rack. It was never necessary to pay full price for anything.

Don’t ever depend on someone to do it for you.

All my life, my mom has taught me that you can’t depend on anyone – emotionally, financially or physically. You always have to be independent to be the person you want to be.

Always buy the matching earrings to your necklaces.

According to my mom, no outfit is ever complete if you don’t have the matching earrings to your necklaces. “Buy the whole set. It makes you look more put together and professional.”

Follow your gut.

My mom has always told me that if I get a weird feeling in my stomach telling me not to do something, DON’T DO IT.

Be bold.

My mom has always taught me to be the boldest person I can be. My attitude or personality will speak louder than any physical feature, she says. She has always taught me to speak my mind in the most respectful manner.

Thanks Mom. You will forever be my #1!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
