As a single mom, I have to be honest. I’m not going to let my choices determine whether I raise my kids to be the best versions of themselves, or to be the worst versions of ourselves. My kids have to be the best versions of themselves.
What I mean is, single moms can either be the best versions of themselves or the worst versions of themselves. Single moms who raise their kids in a family environment that is conducive to their kids’ development, with a positive, supportive and nurturing environment, are going to be much better versions of themselves than single moms who raise their kids in a negative, chaotic environment full of chaos and stress.
Single moms who raise successful kids are the best versions of themselves. Single moms who raise struggling kids are the worst versions of themselves. I guess this is why single mothers who raise children with behavioral issues and issues with addiction tend to be the worst versions of themselves. Single moms who raise kids that are happy and healthy (even if their parents are not) are the best versions of themselves.
The best version of you is when you have the most control over your environment and everything that happens. The worst version of you is when you are completely helpless, unable to do anything about anything, and the only choices you have are between a world of constant chaos and a world of constant chaos in which you can do nothing. So in the face of your own worst version, you’re actually the best version of yourself.
All of our mothers give us the best version of us because they make us the best version of us. All of our mothers have choices about what to do with us, and all of our mothers are the ones who make us the best version of ourselves. So all of our mothers are the best version of us.
It seems that many of our mothers are the only ones who can do this. And in the face of our worst self, they can do what they really want to do with us. It’s not like we can control anything that we’re not in control of, so who can blame them for being the best version of us. But we do have a choice about how to act, so it is our mothers who make us the best version of ourselves.
The best mother in the world knows that she is the best version of herself. We could care less what anybody else thinks of us, we’re just the best version of ourselves. But we don’t need to give them respect. It’s a lot easier just to let them do what they want.
The problem is that we have the tendency to think that being the best version of us is the only way to be. But to do this, we must stop to think about who we are and stop to be. If we simply let others define us, then we are simply the best version of ourselves. But we must stop to be ourselves first.
You would be surprised what happens when we stop to be ourselves. We stop to have fun, stop to have a great time, stop to have a great conversation, stop to be comfortable with ourselves, stop to be nice, stop to be able to communicate with others, stop to talk about ourselves, stop to be the best version of ourselves, stop to have the best version of ourselves, stop to be the best version of ourselves.
