Babies. Aren’t they wonderful? Perfect little mini people. Full of potential and possibilities. Those of us who have had them, have felt that magic and basked in that unconditional love. Then as time went on, we did the best we could with them!
Looking back, I see instances where if I had a different, more expansive awareness at the time, I would have done something different. Two key pieces of information there…. If, and, at the time! We have to remember that we act, react or respond in each moment the best we can with the information we have access to at the time.
If I had been more present in each moment, I might have made fewer mistakes, or what I prefer to call missteps. If I would have paused, taken a breath, and paid attention to what was happening around me, how I was feeling and tried to envision how this next action might play out, I might have made different decisions. How do I know? My 2020 hindsight told me so. But you know what? I’ve got great kids, and they grew up in spite of me.
It’s very important to learn to do this with these young lives we’ve been trusted with. We start out by loving them unconditionally, and that counts for a lot, and by taking this more conscious approach, we could help to maintain their naturally high vibration, the one they came here with. We’d nurture their natural capabilities, so they can grow into the best version of themselves, which would ultimately enhance the world they inhabit.
Here’s an idea. What if we treated everyone around us with the same sensibility? What if we were aware, conscious, focused in the moment, and we thought to pay attention to how our words and actions might affect the future? What if some of the people in front of us were ourselves? Would we treat ourselves and each other differently? Better perhaps. Might we make better decisions?
Imagine the potential and possibilities.
The power.
The peace
