Mother's day just gone by in Hungary. Therefore, I wanted to take a bit of time and reflect on my mum's amazing qualities. She is such an incredible person, and I'm one of those very few who are lucky to have a mum like mine. Her name is Anna.
This super special lady thaught so many things or at least tried and I don't think she actually knows how grateful I am for those lessons.
She has always been there for me since day one, caring, loving and encouraging me through my past 25 years. Even though we are such an opposite personality as well as women I couldn't be more grateful to have someone like her in my life, so I wanted to share a little slice of knowledge of my mum.
Trust.
My mum always tells me to trust people, give them a change and take the chances. Whether it's business, romance or friend related relationship, trust is the main glue that holds that together. The more you trust, the stronger the relationship is, and without trust, there can be no relationship. You know what, she is so right.
Think about the most important person in your life …is not that the same person you trust the most?
Forgive but never forget.
I had so many fights with my mum when I was a teenager and I never really understood why she wants me to forgive someone who did such a horrible thing to me. I always thought that time: Why doesn't she love me? Why does she want me to forgive that person? Because surely forgiving is eventually forgetting...
But now that I'm older and sort of wiser I finally understand.
Like when you trust, if someone betrays your trust, let go the anger, forgive and instead of using this to build a trust barrier, learn from it. But it doesn't mean you need to forget, just move on and don't let this one experience define your personality in the future.
Patience.
My mum knows precisely what it means to be patient, she developed this amazing ability through the years that I truly admire in her. Raising 4 boys and a complicated daughter like me and looking after my dad is something that I will never understand, but somehow she managed to have this sort of patience for all this. I just strive to be patient, but I don't think I will be ever able to be half of that patient as my mum.
Live in the moment.
She is not a planner, she never ever stresses about the future. She truly knows how to live in the moment. It's such a great ability to have, but a planner like myself finds this an extreme struggle.
Be selfless.
My mum is way too generous. She is one of those who loves to give. She is so interested in others lives, no not in a creepy way, she honestly cares to listen and always willing to help out, literally anyone. Nothing breaks down her ambition when it comes to helping others even though she might not always get the same in return.
Only a few years ago, I found out that a girl was living with us when I was a baby. My mum took her in because she didn't have anywhere else to go. Not just an incredibly amazing person but also a hero.
Love.
Love is so scary and risky, but not for my mum. Whatever she does, she always put her whole heart into it without any doubt. She loves Danielle Steel books, she is a hopeless romantic who believes in those idealistic views on love.
Be kind.
My mum is one of the kindest people I know. It's all comes so naturally to her and truly from her heart. She always says to treat everyone equally and support those you love as well as everyone. I admire her because she sees only the good things in people and she can be so open and loving towards everyone.
Make mistakes.
She says it's okay to make mistakes. She makes plenty of mistakes, and she just smiles and laughs at herself. It's definitely her best quality, and I really should have learnt this from her when I was younger.
Be positive.
She is a happy, cheerful and super positive person. It's hard to find a memory of my mum when I saw her upset. Honestly, she just sees the good side of everyone, the good things in everything. This is why her world is much more positive. I always loved this in her, especially when I felt blue. She is a born optimistic.
Never be scared.
She went through a hell of a lot without being scared. She always stays strong no matter what and she always will be the one who will calm others even in the worst situations.
Even though you won't be able to understand this as google translator is not the best, I wanted to let the world know how amazing is my mum, Anna.
Thank you for always being there for me. Miss you loads.
