Raising an Authentic Child
by It’s important to raise awareness among the global adult community to mentor and raise the next generation with a social and environmental consciousness. It’s necessary to address the question of who we are and our authentic self so we can be examples of truth to our children and the children of society.
Raising an Authentic CHILD
Who arrives at work?
Who arrives in front of the laughing 7 year old who opens your front door?
Who arrives at the bar?
Who arrives at Thanksgiving dinner?
Who arrives at the parent-teacher meeting?
Who arrives at the bachelor’s party?
Who arrives at the funeral?
Who arrives at the hospital as mom slowly leaves us all?
Who arrives at the weekly neighborhood get together?
Who arrives in front of the bathroom mirror?
How many of us are looking for a solution to empower the children in our lives to live a better tomorrow?
As you ponder on these questions I invite you to explore the very child inside you. How have you treated this child and where is this child right now? Who are you at these various occasions and places? Do you have a version of you for every situation in life, a face or mask you wear?
Will the REAL authentic you step forward.
When you open up and share your experience typically every single person has either experienced an awakening moment, is going through one and experiencing its symptoms. Each of these moments typically comes with a big bang! Loss of income, health, marriage or relationship or something to drive one into seclusion and have intimate thoughts of life’s very meaning. It is when you have one of those journey’s that you start experiencing this “other” “you” inside you, another set of consciousnesses, asking you some serious provoking probing questions of you that make you tremendously uncomfortable and you step into the zone!
I call it the zone of TRUTH. You can’t fool yourself in this zone. You see yourself for what you are and there are no ifs or buts about it.
Yes, when you are in this zone you cannot imagine how you got there and more importantly how to get out. When you do after having an epiphany (spiritual growing pains!) you typically wise up and if you don’t the universe will keep sending you the same until you do wise up and learn the lesson. For many of us, we want to teach from our experience and prevent the same for our children and our friend’s children, the neighborhood kids, grand kids, god kids…those KIDS who populate this BLUE earth. We wish them to wake up or become aware and be conscious and mindful of the life they are living, not to live through a set of beliefs that are outdated and poisoning to our society and to our environment.
