Enjoying today while fighting for tomorrow

One of the things my mum taught me, was how to enjoy today while fighting for tomorrow.

Live today like it’s the last one, don’t sweat the things others sweat. This is all thats guaranteed, so enjoy it and be happy.

And

Fight today like you’re going to fight and fight and fight for many many years to come. As more problems come, fight those too. You’ll know when it’s time to stop.

I don’t know if she knows she’s teaching me that lesson.

But she’s still teaching me that lesson.

And she’ll keep teaching me that lesson when she’s gone.

And I’ll continue trying to be a good student, and let the lesson live on through me, to teach to my son, too.
