Create the Space for Change

What is your position
What is your motivation

Do you want to see someone achieve
Or do you want to see yourself achieve

You cannot have both
Most of the time

The mother
Is supposed to give it her all to raise a child

There is much that is left behind to raise a child
Losing also creates gaining

You miss your hair appointment
Your child gets to learn new skills

You miss out on seeing a movie
Your child learns how to pass a test

Some people hold on to what they want
Their children are miserable

The parent acts more immature than the child
The child moves far away from the parent

Hostility is created
When the parent wants and does not want to give

The role of the parent
Is created by the parent

Do not attempt to be a parent
If you do not want to give everything to the child

Your time
Your patience

Your love
Your understanding

Every day
Every day for the rest of your life

You are there to serve
In return you have created the example of giving

Nothing more
Hopefully your creation continues the example of giving

For every generous person
There is a parent that was generous to the child

For every selfish person in this world
There is a parent who was selfish with that child

Without a loving environment
How can a child understand love

This is a great challenge to overcome
This makes becoming a parent for the child very difficult

Can it be done
Yes, but it requires more effort

Look at the duality when two people marry
That were both raised by selfish parents

Pure chaos
Pure disharmony

They fight over time and money
Neither of them want any responsibility

Why
Because they are both selfish

Selfish parent
Create selfish children

Selfish children
Become selfish parents

It is a terrible cycle
But is can be changed

It is a challenge
But it can be changed

If you love yourself
You will change yourself

Give yourself the space for change
Give your significant other the space for change

How can someone change
If you are nagging them to change

It will never happen
Because you are being selfish

People change
When they are given the opportunity to change

Patience
Compassion

Love
Understanding

Change is difficult
For everyone including you

Take the first step
Give

Give to the most selfish person you know
Give until there you think you can’t give anything else

Once you are finished giving
Give more

This will break the cycle
This will transform you both
