As I become aware of how things really work, I become more and more aware of my actions, words and thoughts. It has been said in many different places by many different experts, gurus, religious figures and philosophers that we are the sum of our thoughts...the older I get, the more I tend to agree with the statement.
So if we believe that...and I do, then it is my responsibility to use my words and THOUGHTS...YES THOUGHTS, with caution and care. Too many people don't understand that their words are capable of producing profound sorrow in the world. Understanding the truth bears responsibility to speak and think with care and concern.
That leads me to our influence on children. I know that I grew up in the 70s and there weren't a whole lot of hugs going around for kids. Don't get me wrong, I am not complaining, and I had plenty of love in my life...I am just saying that we weren't as aware as we are now about the way that our words and thoughts affect our surroundings.
As parents, we are creating the realities of our children by the words we choose and the way that we carry ourselves. Try looking at yourself through the eyes of your child and ask yourself what they are seeing. Are you creating a king or a criminal? so much depends on their self esteem...what are we doing to create solid upstanding kids?
The truth is that most people don't really pay attention to what they portray to their children. Most of them are just trying to get by. Unfortunately, there are too many people like that...In the meantime, there are those parents that have figured it out...we are raising leaders of leaders and are doing more than just living...I applaud any and all parents who are out there doing their best for their kids...keep up the great work. You will be rewarded...
In the meantime, suck it up!
