Today, on the occasion of Mother’s day, let us celebrate all the mothers for their selfless love, their strength, sacrifice, and their resilience. This article is specially dedicated to my mother who is also my best friend, my travel partner, my business consultant, and my partner in crime.

On this mother’s day, let us tell our mother how much we love her, cherish her, spend quality time with her, and encourage her to take time for herself as well.

You Are My Greatest Inspiration

Dear mum, I am inspired by you everyday with your creativity, your positivity, your simplicity, your intelligence, and your sense of practicability.

YOU TAUGHT ME TO BELIEVE IN MY DREAMS

You taught me to believe in my dreams and to keep on trying. You have always been by my side even when I told you that I want to start my own business. You have been there during the toughest moments of my life and celebrated my every win.

YOUR POSITIVITY & YOUR INTELLIGENCE

You always taught me to look on the bright side. Whenever there is a problem, you always focus on the solutions. You have made me understand that failure is just a part of life but it will depend how I choose to see it. I still remember when I was little and I lost to you when playing monopoly and how you explained to me that it is okay to lose sometimes.

You are highly intelligent whether with regards to arithmetics, problem-solving, business, or time management. You are a fast learner and move ahead with the future, technology, and the modern world.

YOUR FIERCE DETERMINATION

I have always been amazed with your determination from earning your driving licence, teaching yoga, and your eagerness to keep on learning something new. You have taught me that nothing is impossible if there is determination.

THE ART OF LETTING GO

You taught me the art of letting go which I am still learning to do. While I often worry about logistics, you told me to let go and indeed everything worked out. You taught me to let go of the need to control everything. In doing so, somehow everything falls into place.

YOUR MENTAL & PHYSICAL STRENGTH

You are one of the strongest women that I know. You have faced setbacks and yet you overcame them and rose again with even more strength. You are not only strong mentally but physically as well. You are extremely fit and still amaze me and inspire me with your yoga postures.

TO LIVE MY LIFE ON MY OWN TERMS

You have always been very open-minded and let me live my life on my own terms without worrying about societal expectations. You taught me the importance of being an independent woman. You have never pressured me and let me live freely at my own pace and unique path.

BEING BEST FRIENDS

We are best friends and we can discuss every serious, weird, or funny subject and you gave me that safe place to confide in you. Yes, like best friends, we do fight sometimes but the fights don’t last.

Carrying Your Legacy

I believe that I am carrying your legacy as a yoga practitioner. I remember when I was little and when I would wake up in the morning and see you practicing yoga in the room. I would be amazed and kept looking at you, your sense of control, your patience, and your strength. I did not know that one day I would be practicing and teaching yoga myself.

You are naturally a very caring person and maybe I carry this trait of yours as well. People often tell me that I am a good listener and I am very caring and empathetic. I believe that this trait came from you which is why my job as a life coach matters so much to me.

Like you, I love to help people and I believe that I have found my own path where I find meaning and purpose.

My Final Reflection

It is with great pride that I say that I AM MY MOTHER’S DAUGHTER. Of course I am my father’s daughter as well but this article is more about my mother.

Dear mum, I can never get enough of your presence, your warmth, your touch, and the spark in your eyes. I know how much you wanted me in your life and I am so grateful that you brought me into this world. Everything that I am today is because of you.

Thank you for being there in my life, your sacrifice, your hardwork, your selfless love, and the lessons that you have taught me and still teaching. To our infinite bond that goes beyond this life itself. I love you so much.

Your little daughter.

Yashna.
