Lessons learned at my Mother's knees |
Here's what I learned from my Mother. If you are a ditch digger then be the best ditch digger in the world. If you are a cook then master cooking for that is your calling. If you are a seamstress than create designs to die for. If you are a Christian then live your life so that no one has to ask who you serve. No matter what you choose to do and you will do a lot of things in this lifetime, be your very best that is what God expects of you! We are not all going to become chemists and discover a new cure for cancer. We will not all become leaders and rule the world We will not all be famous and write love songs, become actresses or even great dishwashers. But we all have the opportunity to be our best at whatever we choose. So choose wisely, your life, your happiness, and your future depend on it. After finishing whatever she was doing she would say Give every man or woman his due respect Trust them and their word until they prove otherwise Hold your head up even if you are in rags Look a person in their eyes never look down at your feet You are as good as the next person, and don't you ever forget that To compete in this world you must be twice as good as the next person Always trust in God and yourself and you will never go wrong Not everybody will love you, so love yourself It is better to walk alone than with a band of thieves One day you will come to that fork in the road, and you will be forced to choose Always choose wisely for whatever the consequence, it will be your choice Love is not something you can buy, it is something that is freely given and earned over and over each day Before criticising or looking down on someone, walk a mile in their shoes Always ask yourself, what will they write in your obituary when you are gone No one lives forever, but live while you are living Today is your opportunity to excel in your endeavors. So take your life to another level, if only in being the best person that you can be going through your personal trials and tribulations. The sun is sure to rise again tomorrow,but will you rise to YOUR CHALLENGES TODAY? Peace and blessings always. |
