"Consider the feelings of others and remember to look at the brighter side."

In personal discussions and adversities , life can sometimes be emotional. There might be times where we do not agree with another and we tend to ponder. This advice from my mother has really made a difference for me. I've also learned to embrace the serenity prayer that my mother shared with me,  "Lord grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.”

Even if one cannot see another eye to eye, there is such a thing as RESPECT of choice, opinion and feelings. With that, positivity follows and there would always be a brighter tomorrow.  And that’s how I’ve been able to live my life, thanks to my mother.

To my mother,

You have taught me to stand up for what I believe in as long as I remain humble and conscientious. Though you have raised the bar of motherhood so high that I might not be able to follow all in my lifetime,I promise to try my best to be equally capable to be a good person like you.

All the sacrifices that you have done for us, your children (including in-laws and grandchildren), I am forever grateful. Thank you and I love you!
