The Best Life Advice from Mom

Be excellent, stand tall and have faith—Shawnelle Eliasen’s five boys share the best piece of advice they each received from their mom.

Shawnelle Eliasen: Hi, Guideposts. I’m Shawnelle Eliason and these are my boys.

Gabe: Hi. I’m Gabe and one thing my mom always taught me is to stand tall and fill my space.

Isaiah: Hi. My name’s Isaiah and one of the things my mom always taught us is to be boys of excellence.

Grant: My name’s Grant. And my mom taught me to always work hard, even if you don’t enjoy what you’re doing.

Sam: Hi. My name is Sam. And the biggest lesson that my mom ever taught me is probably that your character is something that almost always goes before you and definitely always comes after you. And it’s something that people will remember.

Logan: I’m Logan. And the best thing my mom taught me was to always put God first.
