You Choose
Happy Saturday to all!
Its is true that we choose our reaction to any given situation.
We choose to see good or bad, its all in our preception of the moment. Finding a new perspective can give you freedom.
Freedom from anger and stress!
I think that parents in general over react because of fear.
Fear of what could happen or fear of what others will think
of them if their children turn out to be less than perfect.
I believe with all my heart that we are all perfectly made,
and the diversity of that means that we can choose to
see our children as equals.
As the same learning breathing humans that we all are.
Not as smaller or less knowledgeable but as equal.
When we treat them like they are
less than thats all they know…I am less!
When parents look past
all the dos and don’ts of this socioty they start to see that most
if not all of the things we fear are just small baby steps towards a
better understanding of who they really are. These steps that we see
as mistakes are paving the road to who they want to be.
And these so called mistakes truly have nothing to do with us parents.
Its about them and what they set out to learn in this lifetime.
Without those mistakes they would never know!
My mother always told me “dont sweat the small stuff!”
The older I get the more I realize that its all small stuff!
So, the next time you feel yourself slipping into a rage over something
that your child did remind yourself that its all small stuff, and theres a
lesson to be learned in every mistake.
Not to mension forgivness feels great to both of you!
You Choose
When you see me in my happy place do you feel proud of me?
Even if my happy place is not the same as yours…. you see
I can be any where I choose to be…… so happy is what I choose for me!
This poem is for you to recognize the heart inside of me that always
loves you even when you choose to be…an angerball with me!
So if you get to choose how you feel about me
what do you choose to see inside of me…
Please choose to see the greatness that resides in me because its all I can see…
I am proud of you for choosing to love me unconditionally!
Many blessings of love and understanding to all of you~Valerie
