Do you need to gain the approval
of others in order to be satisfied and content in life? Many people are still seeking the approval of
their parents. They long for them to say
they are okay, valued and respected.
Deep down we are all longing to be approved of, appreciated and
acknowledged so today, I ask you to think about it and if there is one or
several persons who need to hear those words, share them willingly now.
Some of us are walking around
feeling as though something is missing from our lives. We are still craving those soothing words, a
big hug, a warm smile from those who are closest to us no matter how old we
get. The blessings from a parent carry
so much more weight than the approval of other’s, yet too often we fail to
think that way. Many adults still
struggle today all because of the lack of validation from their mother or
father. It is never too late to offer
your blessings to your children or others.
You can be the difference maker for another, your children or
partner. People who feel insecure in
their adult lives discover that the root cause often comes from childhood. To be acknowledged of our successes all
through life actually helps build our self-confidence. However, for all those
who have never been validated, they feel a void in their lives. To be told that you are proud of your child
is important and it is never too late to let them know how much your validate
them. Those simple words can change a
person’s life.
Truth be known, we all crave to be
accepted by our parents. No matter what
the circumstances, those yearnings never lessen. It is like a healing balm that is released on
the inside of us. It is a strategic
piece to our need to feel whole and accepted.
It doesn’t matter how often some one can tell us to get over it, our
heart and soul still feels emptiness.
You may say, well, I have shown my
children in many different ways, but I am here to tell you, if you have not
expressed your feelings in words, your children have not received. Why you might ask! Because when you speak the words, you receive
the blessings and it is only in that way your children will hear those words
that will reverberate powerfully throughout their entire life. A blessing from a parent is vital for our
sense of worth and empowerment and it absolutely does help in reducing many of
our emotional struggles that we experience.
If you value and respect yourself,
it is equally important to express that value and respect to your children and
your partners. It all starts with
you! That sets the tone for what they
value all throughout their lives. That is the standard that you will set for
them to follow as they continue through their journey in life. Your values, your principles, what you
believe in are what you pass on to your children! Don’t take those attributes lightly!
Unfortunately in our times in the world, those character traits are not valued
today and look and see all the conflict in the world, all the confusion and
destruction. We, as a human race, are
seekers, so do your part and make sure that all those who have been placed in
your care are being taken care of by you. Even if you didn’t have a strong
parent, don’t use it as an excuse, instead learn and grow to be better than you
were taught, be wiser than you were shown and be more loving because you
believe with all your heart that you are more than capable to take that
responsibility to heart. Shouldn’t you want to be the model, the person whom
your children and partners will look up to and feel loved by them? Each one of us has a destiny to fulfill, make
sure you do your part to help your children fulfill their destiny for their highest
and best good.
