Lessons from My Child: Embracing Life's Joys and Challenges
Blessed with my daughter in the year 2018, I realized that I was embarking upon a beautiful journey of my life that she offered to me. All throughout the journey of being a mompreneur and balancing both worlds, my daughter has taught me several valuable lessons. This article will delve into some of these valuable insights that have impacted my life and parenting journey.
Being Happy and Excited About the Smallest of Things in Life
Children have the amazing capacity to view the world with unclouded intellect, free from prejudices, notions, or fear of failure. They approach each new experience with genuine joy and enthusiasm. This perspective helps me stay positive and appreciate the small moments in life. The excitement in her for the tiniest of achievements keeps me motivated to live each day to the fullest.
Adaptability to Situations
As a mompreneur, I often face the challenge of balancing my professional commitments and personal life. My daughter's ability to adapt to my schedule, waiting patiently for me to complete my meetings and conferences, has been a significant learning experience. Initially, it was challenging, but with time and effort, everything fell into place. Witnessing her resilience and adaptability has inspired me to be more flexible in my own life and achieve more goals.
Curiosity
Curiosity is the key to lifelong learning. Children are naturally curious and question everything. As we grow older, we often conform to the ways we see the world without questioning or thinking outside the box. However, children's curiosity is a driving force behind their learning. They explore the world from various angles, seeking understanding and answers. This teaches me to stay curious and continuously seek knowledge and self-improvement.
Expressing
Children are pure and expressive. They wear their emotions on their sleeves and do what they feel, without worrying about what others might think. As we grow older, we often conform to societal expectations and hide our true feelings to please others. However, it is the expression of our inner selves that makes us unique and stand out. Encouraging my daughter to express herself freely has been a positive influence on her personality development and mine.
Symbolising the Importance of Love in Life
In a world full of plans and goals, what truly brings happiness is the love we share with our loved ones. My daughter finds joy in spending quality time with the people who matter the most to her, rather than in material things like gifts, toys, or entertainment. This lesson has taught me that while planning for the future is important, the present moments of love and companionship are what genuinely bring joy and fulfillment to our lives.
As a mother and entrepreneur, my daughter has been a great source of inspiration and lessons. Embracing the joy in simple moments, adapting to situations, staying curious, expressing our true selves, and cherishing the love in our lives are all valuable lessons that I carry with me in my daily life.
