My Mother Is My Source Of Happiness
BY ADMIN PUBLISHED March 12, 2018, UPDATED January 19, 2023
In our lives, we come across many people. We see new faces every day. Many of them remain anonymous, some may be acquaintances, some will become our friends but from that, only one person will become our idol: Our Mother.
The most influential person in my life has ensured that as I shoot for the moon, I don’t get caught up staring at the stars. Her presence meant that I always had someone to look up to, a shoulder to cry on, and someone who I could ask for advice without any hesitation. This person means the world to me.
She is none other than my mother, my faithful guide and companion right from the moment I was born.
My mother has always been my greatest supporter. She taught me that hard work is like a vector quantity. It needs not only magnitude but also a proper direction. She is the first to recognize any of my talents and encourage me to hone them. Unlike many Indian parents who just want their children to accomplish academic success, my mother wants me to be unique. She supports me in everything I want to do as long as I have an appropriate reason. It is only when she feels that something isn’t in my best interests then she advises me on it. Even though, she leaves the final decision to me.
My mother made me inculcate the habit of reading right from an early age. Every time I performed well in academics or in extra-curricular activities, she would buy me new books, ranging from short exciting novels to books that increased my knowledge. On a slightly different note, my mother is the world’s greatest listener.
She listens carefully to each thing I tell her such as my problems, plans for the future and even trivial things such as things that happened at school and offers me the best pieces of advice.
As I grew up, definitely, at times moments came, wherein we kind of started having arguments. There were several things that I started to worry about more which, actually, if look upon deeply, didn’t have any importance but it was a phase, we fought and also, sometimes, I even hurt her. But times like these, made me realize that honestly, I am nothing without her. I am a part of her no matter what she always stood by me time made me realize that she is the only person in my life with whom I can’t go war against but wars with.
When she is with me…no problems seems too big.
My mother has always been there to share both my happiest moments and saddest memories. She taught me that happiness can be found, even in the darkest of the times, if only one remembers to turn on the light. She has truly been the most influential person in my life. She has been my best friend, my source of inspiration, my guide, and mentor. I look up to her with love, trust, and pride.
