Kudos to all mothers that have sacrificed so much for the sake of marriage and their children, may we all reap all the fruit of our labour.

Motherhood is tough mehnnnn… some women give up on their dreams, desires, hopes and and so on during the process. While some catch up and still pursue their dreams in future, others lost interest completely…. hmmm! This journey isn’t easy at all 😃

While interacting with a young mum one day trying to empower/encourage her, I asked her about her hobbies but she said she doesn’t have a hobby. And this isn’t her fault at all… motherhood can make you forget your hobby because majority of what you think about for now is the children 😊. I had to rephrase my question to ask her what she used to like doing before she got married and have children and she now remembered and told me…Yes! This can happen, and it wasn’t her fault.

What is my point of writing this?
I want to remind a mum out there that you are doing a great job. I want to remind a mum out there that it’s not over yet, take a few moment to dream again. Don’t stop dreaming. If you can imagine what you will like to be, then it will come to pass. And please to the general public be kind, compassionate and encouraging to young mums out there, you don’t know if they have enough support network to help them journey through motherhood, marriage and all the stress that comes with it 😃….yes they are not the first to be mothers on earth, but this is their first experience so be kind!

One mistake some mums have made is that they end up forgetting their dream and loose interest in themselves completely. This can lead to frustration and them feeling like pregnancy and motherhood has robbed them of their dreams. Some might even end up resenting and transferring aggression and frustration on their children … naaaah! It’s not over yet!

While on the journey of motherhood take few moment of your time to dream again. Yes! You will get there…

Some say, when the kids are all grown up, I will catch up later, while some continue their journey moving at a slower pace along with the kids, either way you choose don’t forget to pursue your dreams at some point 😉. Don’t be among those that push their destiny unto their kids by force because these kids have their own destiny to fulfill and are not meant to fulfill your destiny for you (your children don’t have to be that Doctor, Lawyer, Engineer and so on that you wanted to be by force, they might be called to achieve a completely different purpose on earth, so achieve yours so you can be a happy parent and not a bitter/angry mama 😉)

And don’t forget that the way you treat yourself will determine how others treat you, so it’s not too late to pick yourself up now, show yourself some love, respect and pursue those dreams you have always wanted.

You can still be that successful business woman, you can still be that great fashion designer, best hairdresser, that CEO of your own business and so on…you can still be that graduate or masters degree or PHD holder and so much more even if it takes you more years to get there, start small and you will notice that change in you, that happy vibes, that frustration on your kids will be reduced because you are happy within you.
