What do we ASPIRE for our children....???


Children constitute most part of our lives.. Isn't it??? They should... As they are here coz we got them here. Whether it was planned or unplanned as an adult we need to accept that responsibility that we gave birth to them, either out of sheer physical pleasure or as a societal norm or pressure.... We either make a choice to not give birth in first place or we take up the responsibility.
But responsibility also includes our aspirations for our children and today it is limitless.... It is fabulous to have such great aspirations for children but are we keeping a check on ourselves?????
I come across parents who have been obsessed by their children and have focussed their complete energy into their upbringing... Which is commendable but have you done that for them or yourself?????
We as adults are programmed by our parents and culture and environment in a particular fashion and our egos make us believe that WE ARE THE BEST ..... especially in country like ours all cultures and communities have an internal competition to do better than others and feed the same into these tiny heads. Each of us want to make the best robot out of our children making us the best programmer. With all competitive streaks and constantly racing to reach a particular income bracket and status we use verbal, emotional, physical hunters to tame these free birds. It is an insecured parent who can limit child s reach. We are under confident about ourselves and we pass this ugly trait to our children.
I am a parent of two amazing kids and yes, I am also constantly worried about their SECURED FUTURE.... who is secured but... I keep thinking about this and laugh out loudly as no one being around with whatever they have is feeling totally secured.... I will not talk about various areas of insecurities most in demand being financial and health and romance. Each of us is running from the time we learnt walking to eradicate or reduce each of these insecurities but to what extent are we able to really achieve that peace....????? Lets answer this to ourselves.....
I am no wizard of flawless parenting to talk about ideal parenting as I know my limitations in being that one ultimate parent but all I realize and understand that except teaching my children human values and universal laws I don't want to contaminate them with pearls of wisdom which we have rote learnt from scriptures and texts nor would I wish to block their thoughts and acceptance of other humans existing in this world.... As a soul, we all know what is right and wrong, what we need and how much we need, we have exploited our intelligence way too much to enslave ourselves to our material needs and we have lost our innate profoundness.
As a parent, all I aspire for my children is to make a fulfilling life with their available resources without crushing others on their way to that goal and at the end of each day feel immensely peaceful and satisfied for being their best. Rest is universal worry.... And I don't think I am even close to universe to provide them with anything more than this wish....

Harnessing the Power f words...

Have u ever noticed that during those times you were convinced something would go wrong, it usually did? “I’m going to mess this speech up; they’re not going to like me; I am not good enough.” On the other hand, in those times when you were convinced you couldn’t fail, things tended to go smoothly and successfully. “I can’t lose; I just know there is a connection; I have what it takes.” While we all have varying degrees of psychic knowing, these self-fulfilling prophecies have more to do with mindset than intuitive premonitions. ​ Negative self-talk comes in many forms. It may sound factual, “I won’t get the raise,” prudent, “If I try, I’ll fail,” or like a realistic observation, “I am all alone.” Negative self-talk hinders our healing, growth, evolution, and ascension, creating adverse outcomes for ourselves and our lives.   We all have an occasional dark cloud floating across our clear mental skies. However, it can’t rain every day! The more negative thoughts we have, the more ne...

Surrendering a policy: When should you do it — and should you at all?

Hi There, Individuals must look at the reason for surrender — whether they need the money or they think they can't make future premium payments — and accordingly make their decision... It is ironical that at a time when one is in desperate need of his/ her money, while surrendering a traditional policy (endowment or money back), policyholders in the majority of cases end up with a surrender value that is even lower than the premiums paid. Post pandemic the economy, and livelihoods, 2021-22-23witnessed a sharp spike in insurance policies being surrendered ahead of their maturity. Data show that more than  2.3 crore life insurance policies were surrendered  during the year — more than three times the number of policies (69.78 lakh) surrendered in 2020-21. It is ironical that at a time when one is in desperate need of his/ her money, while surrendering a traditional policy (endowment or money back), policyholders in the majority of cases end up with a surrender value that is even...
