A role model is someone who other individuals aspire to be like, either in the present or in the future. For children, and we’re all children, too, parents were your first and best role models. So, are you a good role model?
All children are born with a certain amount of courage. They explore the world; it’s all brand new, when they’re young. For the really brave ones who are defiant and there are quite a few, they may get into all kinds of trouble or they are guided by wise parents to harness that energy in a positive way.
For parents, it matters that you feel confident about your own abilities. That always reflects on your children. How so?
Christian Pankhurst, a young spiritual teacher, says that it’s not simply just taking care of children that shows you love them. It’s the relationship that they observe you, the parents, having with each other. If you have a good solid loving relationship with each other that’s what truly reassures them and makes them feel safe and loved.
So for children to feel right in their skins you must feel right in your own skin. You work on yourself and get it right and then become a good role model for your children. I can see the logic and the sense of this. Children often blame themselves when a family breaks up. Too much guilt and pain.
So, are you a good role model? Do you abide by the 7 basic spiritual human rights?
Are you choosing to be happy to exist in your body?
Are you choosing that it’s okay to feel the way you do?
Are you choosing to want what you want, regardless what others think?
Are you choosing to love and be loved?
Are you choosing to speak the truth about how you feel and you want to be heard?
Are you choosing to see the truth?
Are you choosing to get the most accurate information and therefore thinking accurately?
All of these take practice. Start with being happy that you’re alive and in this body. We only have 7 billion human beings on this earth. There are countless trillions of blades of grass. But you’re here as a human being and therefore represent the highest of evolved beings. But do you feel evolved?
Right now, things are changing faster than ever. Whatever you’re feeling along with thinking about, good or bad, is being created faster than ever. Almost as soon as you have a feeling about a thought you had, within days or even mere minutes, you get the fruit of it. Nothing is happening due to accident. It never actually did, it just took a lot longer before.
Are you a good role model? For yourself, the inner child? And if you’ve got kids?
