The Two True Blessings

Everything around is a blessing, no doubt. A few are able to see even the little blessings and a few are not able to see any blessing at all around them. This becomes the predominant factor to the happiness one experiences in life.

There are two important people in life that you cannot choose. You might be the richest person, the wisest person, the most influential person still you cannot make any difference. These two are the one that introduces you to the world and the one who will keep a part of you even when you are gone. It’s your parents and your children.

As I wake up to celebrate my moms 72nd birthday, this thought got into me. I cannot tell in words how blessed I feel to have parents as I do. I could have been born in a war zone, a drought zone but I was born into peaceful hands. My friends used to call me the Glassco baby. I was nurtured in a very happy environment and most importantly in the way my nature worked. I was never forced to grow, compelled to do anything in life. All I received was unconditional love. Today I realise how blessed I am and how much nature has helped me find the right souls to be my parents.

The next gift is the children that we have. With the latest technology having a child or even cloning, a child is possible. But no one can bring in the soul that needs to reach you. I have heard ’The child is the father of man’, I haven’t believed it until I literally experienced it. The children have to bring us new experiences. A lot of times they make us face the part that we don’t want to visit. When you allow yourself to go and face it, you grow and heal. I have learnt the art of letting go only when I became a mother. It’s such a humbling experience. Instead of making the children become just like us, if we can watch them grow to their potential, it’s an awesome experience.

These are the relationship like I said we did not choose, all other relationship like the spouse, a friend, a neighbour is all that you get to choose. They are also blessings just that we get to choose.

As I always believe, being grateful for what you have can only be the way to have all that you want. So even if you are not in the next phase of life and have no children, that’s ok. I am sure you have two souls to be thankful for. Do make it a habit to send gratitude to them from your heart every day. I am sure this blessing when acknowledged will bring all other blessings to you.
