Growing

Yesterday I wrote about all the qualities I would like my daughter to have. Confidence, leadership, self-esteem etc. And ended my post by concluding that she is everything I am not. I have updated the conclusion to add that I can grow to have those qualities too. If we are alive we are either growing or dying. I am not dead or dying. I can still grow to have those qualities I feel I lack. Truth is, I am stronger than I believe. I had the courage to move my family to a safer country. To leave everything I knew behind. My life, my home, my work, my family, and start a life in a new world. I have had the courage to say no to my children, and discipline them when required. I have the courage to be honest with myself, and I have the courage to grow.

  6. Yes, we all can grow, and introspection goes a long way to realising the gaps. The path isn’t always obstacle-free. And what I’ve found is that children are little mini-me’s, they learn so much by absorption, and reflect so much of what we are. Bon voyage on that road of discovery
