One of the famous proverbs (at least in India) says "maduve maadi nodu, mane katti nodu" which translates to "perform a marriage and build a house". This can mean that if we do the above two, we would have experienced life wholly, because both the activities involve everything life has to offer!
This morning I was reminded of the proverb as I was wondering why 'parenting' is not included in this proverb 😇😇😇😇
Parenting journey - are there words to describe this? The moment when one becomes a parent is a moment that reaches a zenith point! The joy that comes with parenting is undeniable, so are all the hundreds or thousands of other emotions that a parent goes through! Woah, did we even know that so many emotions existed before we became a parent? Is there a secret recipe to parenting that will make the journey as smooth as possible? The answer is a big no.
I guess parenting literally teaches one to be humble. Parenting is life itself - it makes one laugh, cry, feel angry, feel insane, feel ecstatic, fall in love, feel helpless, peaceful, well the list goes on and on! But inspite of all these, it is a magical experience!
Just like life, if we focus on the goodness constantly, it can be a magical beautiful blissful journey! There is no other way, as there is no end to the challenges that life throws at us! So the only way to sail through smoothly is to continuosly focus on the good side of everything! Of course it is super HARD, but when we realize that nothing is easy, it actually becomes easy 😀
Heres to looking at the bright cheerful chirpy side of everything!
