Allowing Your Children To Be Who They're Meant To Be!

I've met many parents, who are dream crushers of their children. They are so focused on their children being successful that they never listen to the interests of their children. Our World is always changing, and no one is 100% sure where the careers or jobs will go tomorrow.

Something that seemed silly, might be huge money maker in the future. Being miserable in a job that you hate just to pay the bills can be incredibly draining mentally, physically and emotionally. When you are really happy in your job it really doesn't seem like work. It just flows effortlessly from the individuals and it touches others in the way its meant too.

No one has a right to expect another person to live their life for someone else. I remember someone I worked with wanted her son to become a programmer rather than a game designer. She was so focused on her own point of view that she couldn't see her son being successful as a game designer. I remember saying to her that she didn't have a right to force her goals on her son when that might not be his passion. The thing is that we all contribute to society in different ways and by trying to control another person you are stripping of their right to have free will.

Imagine someone saying to Benjamin Franklin, now don't try to figure out electricity you'll only look stupid and get burned! I'm sure Benjamin Franklin didn't have a lot of people cheering him on in the beginning.

The Best Romance

The Best Romance

Wouldn't it be great if Parents taught their kids to get to know themselves.

I think it's still interesting that there are so many children's books where they push the happily ever after thing complete with Miss Charming or Mr. Charming.

This is one of the reasons we have so many divorces in this country. Most people have no clue who they are?

They don't know if they're even happy?

They think that being happy is having another person in your life? It's one of those Card moments.

People have never been told the truth that you can still be lonely with another person.

So they go rushing into another relationship, like this will finally be the answer.

It's only after several of these failed results we learn that we need to actually take some time out for ourselves and get to know us. It's like secretly we don't like ourselves. We're so afraid that if we get to know ourselves, we think we won't like us.

Once you take the time to get to know yourself. You find more inner peace and calmness than we ever imagined. Even if you find things that you don't like about yourself. You can choose to change or not. After all it is your choice.

You start to learn your likes and dislikes.
You learn what people you like or don't.
Your life starts to change and you start to take back your power.

Amazing things start to happen, you become more happy and less angry.
You also find out if you hate your job or even like the people you work with?

You start to take adult steps to make the changes in the areas of your life that make you unhappy. Instead of being angry and thinking that your miserable so your going to make everyone around you miserable!

Once you've discovered the greatest romance with yourself. You start to smile more and have more positive things happening to you.
