In your life, you will meet a lot of people.
Hundreds of thousands, if not tens of thousands. And in almost all of these circumstances, you’ll yearn for a connection to form between you and the other person, whether it’s brief or lengthy.
You’ll begin to hope that your connections with a smaller number of people will evolve into something more caring and loving.
Unfortunately, many of the bonds we form during our lives are shattered. When we get to college, the friends we relied on in high school slip by the wayside. As the world grows around us, first loves often fade. And, unfortunately, our expectations and dreams for these relationships with other people are not realized. People move, get new jobs, good friends grow too busy, personalities change, and life gets in the way, so they don’t meet expectations.
This is entirely OK — in fact, it is natural. After all, in this world, you don’t need a thousand pals to feel connected. You only need a few important long-term, powerful, and loving relationships.
Fortunately, there is typically one person you can count on, and who will be motivated to offer support, love, and encouragement for as long as they can, regardless of your shifting circumstances. They may not be your best buddy, but they will always respect and care about your sentiments.
This individual is your mum.
The most essential relationship you will ever have is with your mother, which begins before you are born and continues even after one of you has passed away. Despite the fact that our relationships with our mothers can be complex or confusing at times, we will always cherish them on some level.
They gave us life, provided emotional support, made us feel loved, encouraged us to pursue our goals, fought for our safety, and hopefully taught us the difference between right and wrong.
Even if we don’t always agree with their advice, many of the things we’ve heard our mothers say as children are essential, significant truths. We’ve compiled a compilation of “mother wisdom” to show you how significant she and her lessons are, whether she gave them with a smile or a scowl.
