“A mother is not a person to lean on, but a person to make leaning unnecessary.” – Dorothy Canfield Fisher

My Thoughts:

This is a nice Mother’s Day quote and very clever. What this is telling me is that: “I got you.” In other words, full trust from parent to child. Also, it is saying to me that your mother made you and you need to provide for it. As mother gave birth to a child, the child needs to fulfil the mother in providing her everything for giving life.

Purpose

I really think we all are here for a purpose, and we need to fulfil it by providing its desire. For example, when I look at people like Kobe Bryant. I see that he came to earth and provided his life into us through basketball. It’s as if he was given birth just to play basketball. For whatever reason, he fulfilled his desire by being the best he can be. This is a steppingstone towards others to try to be great like him. Not necessarily in basketball but anything else in life.

As Kobe’s mother gave birth to Kobe, Kobe gave it back through basketball. We all have different ways of giving it back. Everyone is different and that is the purpose too. If we all are the same, there really would be no point.

Let’s take a look at Messi the soccer player. He is giving it back by soccer and people are loving it. He is helping people to try to be great like him. Regardless of what it is, people try to be like Messi in whatever they are interested in.

Give

As you were given life, you need to give it back. That is how I see things and we all have our own unique ways of giving. Find your purpose and give it back. Be what you ever wanted regardless of what the career is.
