My Mother’s voice of reason


Ever since I’ve moved out of the house, I have come to learn that my mother was right. I don’t need a large amount of detergent in the washing machine, a little does go a long way. Now, that I have to buy my own detergent, firstly I know how much that stuff costs so a little WILL go a long way.

 My mother was not the only one that was right; my father, my grandmothers, my aunts, my uncles, my brothers, my cousins, my high school teachers and my friends (giving them the benefit of the doubt). They were all right. Not about the detergent but, about life. People have been making input into my life but, I haven’t always listened or taken them seriously and after some time I have been able to see how just maybe they might be right. Through life I have come to realise that it is worth listening and taking action; than facing consequences as a result of your own ignorance.

People do talk nonsense but, when it’s people who love you just maybe it’s not always nonsense. There could be great value, so take it however it comes. It may need to be sieved through but at least take heed to it. Anyone can live this life as an island, without allowing anyone to make input but, why do that. There is so much to be learned from each other, take every opportunity you have to allow people to invest into your life and you in theirs...


I want to be GREAT but, not alone I want to be able to enjoy that greatness with other people who are enjoying it too. It’s like a great meal yes it’s amazing but, it’s weird if people are watching you enjoy it alone. So how about we share that meal together. Let’s be generous with our greatness.
