The story begins with the significance of March 8, the day this blog is published. In our culture, or rather, according to my education, March 8 is dedicated to all mothers in the world. Over time, since elementary school, I have given my mother a gift on March 8 that symbolizes appreciation for all the effort she put into raising me.
Unfortunately, today my mother is no longer with us and can no longer enjoy such gifts. However, I am convinced that somewhere up there she looks at me and continues to guide me as a parent, when, according to my habits, I take less productive decisions.
And if she’s still watching me from up there, I thought I could still give her something. I could keep thinking about everything I had learned over time from her, looking at all the events that took place in my life, and documenting into a collection of writings, the lessons that I learn over and over again in other forms along with other important things.
Why do I think she can enjoy this? Well, my mom always encouraged me to do what I love. And I love to make people better. Critically, I think this may seem like an arrogant thought: at the age of 27, you start to think you’re making others better. I certainly have a lot to learn myself, but from what I have learned and lived so far, I think I can help others.
And besides, I will definitely give my mother another gift by default if I manage to keep the habit of updating this blog. To make it easier for you to understand this feeling, think about the last time you flipped through an album of pictures from high school, or even better when a social network reminded you of what you were doing 10 years ago. You remember that moment when you thought, “Oh man… but what was on my mind then?”.
Well, I’m thinking about the future moments of this type that I will have in the future, reading the posts of this blog, maybe who knows, even with my children, receiving from the Universe of course the famous addition that my mother did not hesitate to add every time she had the opportunity: “I told you!”. And I’m sure she will enjoy it!
And here comes the first lesson I learned recently, which in a funny way would sound like this: if at this time you think that last year or maybe 2-3 years ago you were just as good, smart and just beautiful with a few pounds less, you have a problem and it’s not just about eating. At least in my philosophy, in order to enjoy life, you have to constantly evolve by learning and discovering new things. How do you know if you’re doing this? You think about
how you were last year at this time. The more you want to exclaim: “What a fool I was”, the more you have evolved and the more you will enjoy life. As Matthew McConaughey tells us in the speech below, the hero of each of us should be his own person, but in 10 years.
In conclusion, I hope that all this will have a positive impact and every year, at least one person will be inspired by what he/she finds on this website, to do even one simple thing, better. And if that person, in turn, gets to inspire others, a whole community can start to evolve.
And remember, none of this would be possible without my mother, so please send her a good thought as well.
