3 things children can teach us
3 years, 4 months & 20 days as a mom… And sometimes I still can’t believe it. Haha😂
I am not even kidding😂
I still feels surreal that I get to parent & live with a whole lil human being who is all mine…
And well, motherhood has changed me and I believe this little ones teaches us daily. I wrote here 3 things those lil ones can teach us🥰
1. To be happy for no reason
2. To always be busy with something
3. To demand all things with all our might.
I daily live on the receiving end of number 3 and one major thing I have learnt is- if my 3 year old wants something bad enough- she most likely will get it.
She wants to pick her favourite toy on a high standing shoe rack in our room? She drags her table from her room, climbs on it, stretches all the way up to grab her target.
She wants to watch me do dishes in the kitchen- she finds the same famous table, drags it to the kitchen and props herself up
She wants anything at all- she goes to get it or keeps asking until she gets it🤦♀️…
Their tenacity can sometimes be annoying…but is what it is🤷♀️
At what age do we begin to fear putting ourselves out there? Or demand to get what we want from life?
When exactly did we decide to only “try” to reach our dreams?
At what age did we start to say “i sha tried” when things don’t go our way?
What happened to the doggedness we had as kids?
Life- I guess
Or probably the uncertainties that comes with adulthood..
A child’s life feels limitless because they are not confined by fears of failure or humiliation. They march forward with hope and determination because they don’t know any better. They haven’t been beaten down, they haven’t experienced failure. They embrace life and all it has to offer with open arms.
And seeing life as they see it- learning to find inner child, dancing out in the rain, choosing to see possibilities instead of negativity is the secret to the abundant life we desire.
Life doesn’t give you what you ask with your thoughts- it gives you what you demand with your actions.
