Mothers
and Daughters they always share a special bond -
though near or far apart - the words that would describe it- are written on the
heart. Mother always plays a great role in building her little princess to the
best.
So
here are the 9 traits that a strong mother builts in her daughter:
1. Value
of independence. You don’t need a man to save you or
anyone to take care of you, you learn by example that you are capable of living
a full and happy life without having to share it with someone else. You learn
that you can build a home, raise kids, cook, and do the dishes all while having
a thriving career. You pretty much learn how to be super woman.
2. Unconditional love.
You saw your mom sacrifice her time, health and youth for you and your siblings,
yet she never complained or gloated about how much she is suffering or how much
she is doing. She always had a smile on her face and was happily giving more
and more of herself. She taught you what selfless and unconditional love looks
like, and you know you won’t be able to find that love anywhere else.
3.
How to love yourself You learn how to walk away from the
things that are not meant for you, you learn how to keep going even when
the whole world is against you, and you learn how to believe in yourself when
everyone is doubting you. You learn that bad grades, heart breaks and failures
don’t define you; what defines you is how you bounce back from all the setbacks
and how hard you fight for the life you want.
4.
You can be both strong and soft. Strong
mothers are usually very sensitive they just hide it better, but you saw
your mom silently cry over your pain, or stay up all night taking care of you
when you were sick, or the nights she couldn’t sleep because something was
troubling you. The way she hugs you when you are down shows unmatched
compassion and tenderness and sometimes in a quiet corner you saw her shed
a few tears.
5. Walk like a Tiger Lady. You learn that your opinion will be discounted, that you
will be taken lightly when you’re being serious, but you will also learn that
you can stand out in a crowd and force everyone to listen to your voice and
accept your ideas. You learn that what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.
6.
Never to look back. You learn
to let all the “what ifs” and “could have beens” go. You learn not to look back
and wonder why life turned upside down. You just keep looking forward and let
the past redeem itself. You learn that everything that happened got you to
where you belong even if it is nothing you ever wished for.
7.The
importance of patience and faith.
You learn that God is looking out for you and your struggles, that everything
will be OK in the end. Storms will pass and tomorrow is a new day. You learn to
be patient with life, patient with timing, patient with success and patient
with problems. You learn that patience is strength.
8.
To create your own happiness.
You can find happiness in a difficult life. You can still be happy even if
you are carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders. My mom taught
me that I can always find something to smile about all I have to do is look
closer.
9. How to be a good mother. You’ve been raised by a mom who showed you how
to truly take care of a family, who showed you that hard work pays off, who
showed you that you can love someone unconditionally. She showed you how to be
protective, loving, kind, compassionate, strong and resilient. She was leading
by example, and whether you know it or not, you are following in her footsteps
one step at a time. If all the armies in the world were commanded by mothers like you, they would all be trained in decimating the enemy’s hate with adorable smiles and warm hugs.
Thanks for everything mom…!
