The Mommy Homilies

As a mother, first and foremost in my mind, will always be my kids…
It would sure be nice to leave them a HUGE inheritance. (HAHA!)
BUT, I’d rather not.

I’ve seen it one too many times with relatives and friends.
They work their bones off to provide their kids’ every single need and want.
Some would say they should be given praises and honors for being the World’s Best Dad or Mom.
I’d say, it’s a heroic effort that most often than not creates total disaster in the end.
Oftentimes, the World’s Best Dad or Mom ends up creating The World’s Best Bum cum Brat…

You see, they’ve given their kids everything…BUT they took away their ABILITY TO DREAM.
How could these kids ever know how to dream if every single thing drops on their laps with a flick of a finger? How will they ever have the drive and the hunger to succeed if there was never a reason to be driven or be hungry for something?

I’d like my kids to VALUE everything that they will ever have in this world.
I’d like them to know that nothing ever really comes for free…
(even if you think you got something for free…there’s always a minimum purchase requirement! hahaha!)
I’d like them to strive, persevere and aim high.
I’d like them to go through the process of starting up and making their dreams come true…
ON THEIR OWN…No sugar-coating, this time.

It is only when they go through their own life’s journey
experiencing all the ups and downs…
…only when I let them go will they ever find themselves and be WHOLE.

And no one will be happier than me…
