Everybody dream to live childhood again. Those were awesome days full of fun, lots of play and zero stress. Actually every day every moment offers us to live one of those fantastic memories but the thing is we don’t notice that!!! We are really busy with the life full of stress and work load. We say we love rain but when it really rains we think of cold and muddy puddle and so we can’t enjoy it. That’s us grown-ups!!! Our wish and our thought don’t match with each other. We always ignore the things that can make us happy!!!
When I saw my little one enjoying with water, sand, rain, snow, muddy puddle, fog, butterfly, bugs, bubbles and a lot like this I understood what I missed in my life and I have decided to enjoy all these things again with her.
For my life I would like to say these are the things I forgot to enjoy once I grow up and now thanks to my kid I am enjoying it again. Or in better words I will say these are the things my little one teaches me every day:
Enjoy every moment of life: Kids enjoy everything!!! They become happy for smallest things too. When I looked at my daughter I noticed she becomes happy even with the one small star on her hand!!! And I realized yes we too are getting these kinds of small reasons to be happy but we ignore those. And I have decided to enjoy even smallest thing of my life and my life became much easier and happier.
Imperfection is okay: My days were always shorter than my to do list. I was always running behind the things and result no time for fun or playing with kids. But once my daughter came to me and asked to accompany her and when I replied “sweetie give me 5 minutes I will empty dishwasher and come” she softly replied “why do you want to empty dishwasher now? Any how you will need that by the evening.” And that strikes my mind “ why I am behind work? There will be always something to do.”
It is okay if I can’t finish few things or if my house is little bit messy. And so I set the time for my work and my kid as well as for myself. Now I try to finish the things during that time and after that I leave it for tomorrow as work will remain same for every day but I won’t get my kid’s childhood again.
Feel Free: The main reason behind the kids’ happiness is they are carefree. They don’t think about people and so they are stress free. Now I like to enjoy the life the way I want without thinking of people. I prefer to leave the people behind when it comes to me and my kid.
Have Patience: Indirectly my kid made me more patient. There was a time when I couldn’t wait for 5 minutes peacefully and now I can. Now I don’t lose my temper soon as I understood few things are not in my control and that won’t be, even if I will lose my temper. Now I believe time will set the things and till then I speak to myself “When we wait we get best.”
Forget and forgive: Kids fight with the friends and after 5 minutes we will see them playing together. They forget the fights, sort out their issues and start new play. When I thought of that I was really not sure I could do that but when I did I felt so relieved. Sometimes our ego controls us and we can’t leave the things easily. Sometimes things are not good to remember as at last they trouble us only. So forget the things and forgive the people.
We are Family: Family, a word itself is enough to raise our roof. Living with love ones like life partner and kids make us family. Kids make us more responsible more loving more caring more humble and complete. After certain time we don’t seek for friends and relatives, we with kids will be the complete family full of love and happiness.
