Being a daughter, wife and mother, I think life has now come
the full circle. Being a mother brought a lot of awareness into my life. I was
never aware of nutrition, wellness and overall developmental stages of humans
and now I have a treasure trove of information to guide me on my journey of
bringing up my daughter. I think it is very important to raise children with
utmost awareness, they are your direct contribution to society, its wellbeing
or destruction depending upon how you have raised your child. As mothers the
responsibility lies on us to raise the collective consciousness of society, sow
hope, love and empathy in young hearts so that the society of the future is
filled with blossoming hope, love and empathy! That makes our role as parents
very vital and very important. Given the sweeping changes in the world around
us, sometimes we ourselves are mired with confusion, in conflict with our
values and ethics. We are riddled with changing economic dynamics, changing
relationship equations and our own bodies and souls. Then how can we ever focus
on the child? Well there lies the answer. Collect our own lives, tidy up our
routines, fill them with laughter, smiles, songs and exercise! Because children
won’t listen, they will emulate…they will mimic their immediate environment. So
instead of cursing the world around, becoming more mistrusting and sorrowful we
have to make the best use of this opportunity we have, to contribute
meaningfully to society in the present and the future.
Being a mother to a daughter has its own joys and worries!
But when I find myself confused about my own career path, my own ambitions and
reality, I doubted how can ever tell Baby A that go ahead, dream on! Achieve what
you want to…
I have been in a process of seeking answers for myself and
on my way I have found some real inspiring bits…today am sharing them all for
all other parents around me, it lovely to know what other mothers think do and
believe!
And lastly this wonderful movie/documentary which i insist each mother should see, to understand that if we human mothers were compared to other animal mothers, we sure have a lot to learn from them! How they take care of their young ones and how they are prepared to kill and die in order to give their young ones the hope of life! 'To the arctic' is a story of a polar bear mother with twin bears and how she leads them through the most wild, unforgiving landscape left on earth, to survival, to hope and life!
Hope we keep learning a lot along this wonderful journey of motherhood!
