Lessons from parenting-Life is happening while you are sulking

Happy Monday,

Hope you are all keeping well?I got a little story.

I said this to my son while unwrapping a sweet and watching him drop his whole body to the floor in a tantrum a few days ago. He thought I was going to eat it and I decided to eat it because of his attitude then I said to him ‘Life is happening while you are sulking and throwing a tantrum”.

By that,I meant I was eating the sweet and winning in that moment while he chose to throw a tantrum about what he can get with the right attitude. Of course, he didn’t understand and continued screaming.

As soon as I said this,I realised God had spoken to me and through me and it was a message for me and to be shared. Here’s my understanding of the moment that birthed this quote you see below;

Life literally waits for no one especially those with negative attitudes. While we are busy moping, sulking, crying, thinking, worrying about all the things that are going wrong, life is happening and others are winning and noticing opportunities to be taken.

We have to observe our own lives through the lens of positivity, action, clarity and real sense of purpose. We don’t have time to sit around,lay in bed and wallow in pity when we can get up and take the right action to change our circumstances.

All the human power there is to change our lives lies in our hands and minds and we have to be intentional about defining the course of our lives with that power.

If all you see is problems, you will never be a problem solver and envision solutions right in the “pit” or valley you find yourself in.You are ultimately the solution to your own problem.

My recommendation to you on this beautiful monday morning featuring this false spring weather, is to take the right action and give the right response right in your situation that will favour and align with the future you desire.

Understand that life is happening regardless of your mood or your attitude and you have it within you to change your disposition or outlook so be encouraged and move! Be a solution oriented person and adjust your attitude.

Have a wonderful week y’all.
