How to not be like my mother

It’s like the most annoying people have been chosen to be your parents so you would definitely get the lesson.

I sometimes think not making the mistakes your parents made might be one of the most important things a human needs to learn in life. I’m not only talking about raising-a-kid mistakes, also the things you don’t approve of in general - their choices or how they communicate to the world. I’m sure your parents are amazing individuals, but in my case, nearly everything my mother chooses to say or do pisses me off. It’s like the most annoying people have been chosen to be your parents so you would definitely get the lesson. Maybe I just have lots to learn, but your parents only have a few if any lessons to teach you.

I hope I get the habit of coming back to this post to see if I have forgotten any of my promises.

1. Trust men
   They are here to love you and take care of you. Don’t take over men’s tasks, they will help you build a home, protect you and carry heavy bags if you only let them. Men cannot love you if you don’t give them love.
2. You will always have enough money
   And if you don’t, you won’t die. The universe takes care of you and gives you everything you need. Besides, money does not make you happy and expensive products or gifts are not substitutes for your love, time and understanding.
3. Traveling is a wonderful thing
   Everything will be fine, being in a safe bubble gets boring anyway. Stop worrying and enjoy the packing, preparing, planning and everything new places have to offer you. Heck, why even plan that much, let adventures find you.
4. Only help people when they ask for help
   Even if you move mountains for them, you cannot blame others for being ungrateful if help was never needed. Why waste your precious energy? Do something for yourself instead.
5. Being sick means taking time off
   There is no need to hate your family member for being sick, as if they are trying to make you feel bad. This is a warning from the Universe, take time off and think about the message. Franticly worrying, forcing medicines in or blaming yourself does not help anybody.
6. Be positive
   Finding the worst in all situations and creating bad energy around you and others is not making your life better. Negativity will cause more bad things to happen. Let go of your fears and trust life.
