thinkspiration Thursdays: Mom to the Rescue

It doesn't matter if we're toddlers or teens -- it's always mom to the rescue!

Like you, we’re inspired by great thinkers from the past and present. So we thought we’d share their insight with you, reflect on its meaning and hear what you have to say. We believe that when it comes to living a full, healthy, happy life, it’s all about how you “think.”

“[A] mother is one to whom you hurry when you are troubled.” - Emily Dickinson

The last few times I called my mother it was because I needed something. I think I can admit that. Despite our differences, when trouble arises – whether it’s a solution to an impending cooking catastrophe or advice on how to handle a break up – my mom is first on my list. I go to her even though I know I won’t like her answer. I know she’ll give me a brutally honest answer, one that I might have a hard time finding for myself or from my friends. She tells it like it is and always has my back – and I probably don’t thank her enough for that. So before you hang up your next emergency call with mom – remember to thank her. She’ll be happy to know you appreciate her advice – even when you don’t ask for it!
