A young lady called Anna is excited about her party with her friends for the next day and couldn’t get some rest because she is imagining how the day would be spent. Waking up next morning, does her chores at home, assists her youngest sister with her chores. Everything was okay until when she overhears a loud scream and rushing to the scene, she sees her siblings into an argument, without inquiring what’s the issue about, she starts taking sides with the younger sibling, two against one. This resulted with the older sibling annoyed and left. Few mins later, their mum rushed to get a towel and expected her children to rush and assist her, but none moved. When the environment was silent, she immediately summoned Anna and the youngest sibling, didn’t you noticed there was an emergency, they responded, yes we did and what happened ??we were annoyed with our sibling? She looked so furious but was able to remain calm?. She whispered to them ; “when the image is perfect, everyone wants to belong, whereas the bad news the blame is on you, she continues, nurture what’s important to you, when it escalates, you have the ability to control and manage the situation. She left.

If you are Anna Will you still be able to attend the party?

What will be your next step to make things right?

Moral lesson

-Do we acknowledge the individuals important to us?

-Do we take care of ourselves?

-Do we nurture what we have?

Or

-We join the crowd in condemning individuals who are important to us?

- We expect them to understand your judgment than understanding what made them act in such behavior?

-We are confident that our behaviors towards them will make them realize they are wrong?

-Are you confident that there will always be time to amend the broken strings?

Rather

  • Accessing and observing the root cause.
  • Providing support (physical and Emotional).
  • Evaluating your level of connectivity with the individual.
  • Improving your awareness that time won’t be the same as now and anything is possible, either good or worst.

In a nutshell, as an individual if you don’t spend time nurturing what is important to you, the external world will feed on that and at the end of the day when everyone goes to sleep, the memories and relationship will keep haunting you. Do you know why; we don’t choose where to belong, but we decide on which path to take.

Happy New month of April!

Nurture what you have, so when it gets bad, you have the ability to control and manage the situation. What is yours, remain yours no matter how you try to avoid it.
