As a busy mom of 4 who is also a wife, corporate professional and ambitions go -getter, being a mom has taught me some things.
These five lessons are just the tip of the iceberg. I will share more in the coming months, so make sure you follow this blog, YouTube and sign up for our newsletter.
Expect the Unexpected
I’ve always been a planner mom, and believe me, having kids has taught me that you cannot plan for everything.
Resilience
Resilience is the ability to withstand and recover quickly from unfavorable conditions. Some factors that aid in resilience include having a positive attitude, optimism, the ability to regulate one’s emotions, and seeing failure as helpful feedback (Psychology Today).
Being a mom has helped me to cultivate these qualities.
Trust God
I’ve always had great faith, but being a mom has given me a deeper understanding of God’s omnipotent nature. I trust and believe that he can do more for my kids than I can ever do, and he loves them more than I love myself. His ability and reach stretch far beyond my own.
Embrace the Moment
Time goes by so quickly. Legit, where did yesterday go?!?!
I’ve learned to embrace the moment and to live in it. This means no cell phones 24/7, minimal TV, and technology. I want to connect with my kids in ways that matter and ways that they will remember.
To Have Fun
My kids have taught me how to relax and live a little. They love to have fun and pull me out of my shell to have fun along with them!
