Mom has something to share

So kids I’ll be turning 60 soon and I want to share my lessons so maybe you can get to inner peace early in life. I’m still working on it. But don’t worry, I’ve come along way, it’s a work in progress. I’m sure when I’m old I’ll have more to say...lol

Don’t be judgmental because you certainly don’t want to be judged.

Don’t push help or option but ask if they want it and don’t be afraid to be honest.

Don’t let people’s criticism go too deep. It’s you that has to live with your actions and beauty is from within.

Forgive but learn, learn, learn!

Love hard and expect it back. Don’t waste your time on people that don’t love you deeply back.

Let the people you love know that you love them. You don’t have to say it all the time, your actions also let them know. Remember some people have trouble saying it so let there actions assure you. If you need to know ask them.

Say Thank you.

Be kind always, even when you think they don’t deserve it. Kindness will catch on.

Stay in touch with the friends and family that you love.

Let your Mom know you’re ok and not ok.. she loves you and will always worry about you. She can actually help you work out stuff that is making you unhappy.

Only say sorry if you are. Make sure you know why you’re saying sorry, don’t do it for someone that thinks that you owe them. If you are not sorry don’t do it. Own your actions and defend it!

Hold you hand up to someone when they need to back the fuck off.

Protect the people, animals and things you love

Other people’s children need you too. Be a Mother, Father, Brother or Sister to a kid that needs it. It takes a lot of people to raise a child.

Dance when the music moves you. Dance alone and in public like you are alone. Don’t worry what others think. Every one has there own rhythm.

Be silly and don’t feel ashamed that you are.

Laugh out Loud when shit is really funny.

Turn the other cheek, but if someone needs to be told... hell, tell them!

Don’t get stuck in self pity – if you are ok, just move on. Self pity is a waste of time.

Ask for help when you need it. Chances are the person you’re going to ask for help is someone you’ve helped and they would love to help you back.

Being alone is better than being with people who kill your soul.

Just because you had it hard shouldn’t make you hard.

Everyone has a story so let them tell it if they need to. Listen hard and look into peoples eyes as the eyes are a reflection of the hurt they are carrying. Offer comfort and empathy and advice if they ask for it.

Share your sorrow and hurt with a trusted person because it will unburden your soul.

Put yourself out there even when you’re afraid you might get rejected. Risk is ok. Who knows it might turn into something wonderful.

Work hard and don’t expect people to thank you – do it for yourself. You are the only one that needs to know you did great.

Never be ashamed of where you came from. Wear it proud, hold your head up. You are who you are because of your roots.

Money does not equal happiness. There are lots of rich unhappy people and very happy poor people.

Ensure your job brings you a feeling of accomplishment.

Understand your parents, grand parents, greats.

Take time to think and expect to change your mind often – making right decisions takes time. You’ll know when you have arrived at the right direction.

Make changes in your life even when it’s so so hard. Without change you can’t grow into you best self.
