Mother’s Day is a time to celebrate the women who have shaped us, not just through their actions, but also through the values they passed down. The best lessons often come not in grand gestures, but in quiet moments, repeated routines, and words that linger with us long after childhood.
For us, some of that wisdom came in the form of simple guidance: make time for family dinners. Our mom believed — and proved — that sitting down at the table together was one of the most meaningful things you could do. It’s in those daily rhythms that you really learn about your kids, what they’re thinking, and what they care about. Connection doesn’t always require a big event — just consistency and presence.
Another lesson that continues to resonate with us is that parenting will always involve second-guessing and overthinking. But at the end of the day, the most important thing is that your children feel loved. That’s it. That foundation of love matters more than any single decision, school choice, or vacation. It extends beyond parenting. How we show up for those we care about is rooted in how we make them feel.
As you celebrate this year, we invite you to reflect on the advice that’s shaped your life and the values you’re passing forward.
From all of us at Concentus, Happy Mother’s Day!
About VALUABLES
Many financial advisors focus on communicating with clients to provide complex analysis of the investment markets and economies. However, we have learned that most clients are not particularly interested in this complex analysis. Most clients hire an advisor for their knowledge of the markets, not for their ability to explain that knowledge. Most want to know what time it is, not how to build a watch.
Experience has taught us that wealthy families care most about using their wealth as a means to a desirable end, which is to achieve a more satisfying, fulfilled and impactful life, and to fulfill their most important Life Values.
VALUABLES is a periodic article series focused on the concepts, systems, and habits which we have observed among families who have been successful in this quest to use their wealth as a tool to live a life of significance. The most successful families share a set of habits, systems, and insights which enable them to use their wealth as a tool to fulfill their Values and what is most important to them.
We named this article series VALUABLES, because it provides an exploration of those habits, systems, and insights. We hope it will help you to consider your assets and possessions which are most valuable to you, and how you can use your financial wealth to enhance and cultivate your true “Valuables”.
