Sure thing – motherhood can be full of stress and anxiety. Imagine having to wake up in the middle of the night to check on your baby, change her diapers, or worse – breastfeed. Think about having to say “no” to tons of social invitations because no one will babysit for you. Still, despite all the hardships and sacrifices a woman has to bear, being a mum is indeed one of the best things that can happen to her. And below are the reasons why:

It makes you refocus on your goals.

There’s something about becoming a mother that makes you reconsider what’s really important in life. Prior to being a mum, a woman may have limited perspectives about what she really wants – what path she wants to take, and so on. But motherhood does bring a lot of experiences that fuel maturity and make a woman want to do more, to achieve more.

It fuels your desire to take risks.

Taking risks make you stronger and at the same time – open up the doors to a lot of opportunities. Being a mum does take a lot of courage, and comes with many risk-taking moments. So at the end of the day, you feel a lot stronger.

It makes you feel inspired, every day.

Having a child can motivate you to become a better person every single day, as you try each day to be a good mom. It gives you courage to face and conquer your fears so that that your child will know that no matter how difficult things can get, it is possible to accomplish his or her goals in life.

It makes even the most boring moments special.

Seeing your child learn, explore, grow, smile, laugh and even cry can make any moment memorable. Being a mum makes you enjoy life in its simplest forms. Even just staying at home solving a picture puzzle or building a doll house can become one of the most special moments of your life.

Your child’s success is your success.

One of the best things about being a mum is getting to experience on a daily basis all of your kids’ successes. You get to enjoy every day what they are able to accomplish, and that gives you a rewarding feeling that no material thing can ever repay.

It improves your perspective.

Motherhood can shift your perspective and intensify your emotions. It can bring out your creativity and ingenuity, your desire to do good, or even just a desire to do more. It can spark ideas, redefine perceptions in life, and ultimately change you — in ways you never expected!

Being a mum may come with all sorts of difficulties. But it can be one of the best things that can happen to your life.
