Good News — Tell Your Mom

When you are a young adult and something good happens to you because of your own hard work what should you do? It may feel braggadocios to tell your friends or worse post it on social media. There is one person who definitely wants to hear about your successes, Your Mom!

For years Moms have gotten report cards on your work. We have watched you at sports events and cheered you on. We know everything you ever applied for and did and did not get. When you get out of school we no longer get outside feed back on how you are doing in life. So if you get a job, a raise, some praise, a big sale, or a successful presentation. Tell your Mom.

I call finding out these things “adult report card.” No one is happier than your Mom to hear your good news. There is no fear of sounding too boastful. The hard part is that your Mom must also keep the news in the family, but at least you and your Mom can talk about it all you want.

No one is happier for you than your Mom. Having successes mean we did our job well and you are our report cards.
