We often hear the phrase, “We are all individuals” and I for one definitely believe it. We go through life constantly surrounded by others, however each of us take from it different life lessons. That’s where our individuality or uniqueness comes from. We all recognise this at a soul level but we fail to practice it on the human plane.
This failure to recognise our true self and potential often stems from the conditioning we receive as children. Many people in our society suffer from insecurities and unfortunately when they become parents they end up taking it out on their kids. It doesn’t mean that they are bad people, because sometimes they may not even be aware of it, but it does have detrimental effects on the children.
Being scared of being judged is a difficult thing to go through but being scared of your kid being judged is even worse, for you and for them. You force them to suppress parts of themselves in order to fit into societies mould. Feelings of never truly being good enough will always haunt them because you’re indirectly telling them that by being their authentic self, they are embarrassing you.
Why is it that we please others at the expense of our own happiness and the happiness of our kids? Why do we place so much emphasis on what Mrs Next Door thinks ?
It’s time to stop for a moment! Whether you’re a parent or a kid, it’s time to reclaim your power and encourage the ones you love to do the same. People may talk about us, but in no way does that determine our worth. Our place in society is meaningless, we need to be searching for the meaning of our life.
It’s not easy to love yourself, but it starts getting easier once you put intention and action into it. Parents, please allow your kids to be their beautiful selves, no matter how that may come across.
To whoever is reading this, take a moment for you. Go easy on yourself, you really don’t need that pressure!
