Challenges are inevitable, they come even when we don't need them "It's more like they force their way into our lives".
It is the challenges we face every day that have made us who we are today, I feel like these challenges shape our lives. Difficult times are meant to happen, life isn't always as full of roses as we thought, the emotions we feel when we are faced with challenges can be " a healthy reaction" though some might not see it that way.
"If we had to decide" No one would ever choose to have problems in this life "If you know anyone that would love that, let me know now" so I can deliver the person with my holy cane "Nothing much". Every challenge you face in life has something to offer or give, there is always a reason behind every challenge, and thats why we are provided with the power to deal with them in the first place.
Every parent or potential parent's prayer is to watch their kids do better than them in all ramifications, like what my mom always says "She didn't get the best education so my sibling and I can have it" That's what being a parent does, it makes you look at your children with genuine love and give them the best life you didn't have.
Now back to the question of the day: Our dream is to make life easy for our unborn children, I've always developed this mindset of giving my unborn children the best life they could ever think or imagine. The reason behind my hard work today is targeted towards them. I told myself I'd give them the life I didn't have while growing up, I wouldn't want them to face any single form of challenge.
Deep down I want my unborn children to live a luxurious life (I want to spoil them with stuff) I want to provide for them and give them whatever they need, the best shelter, love, and affection, I wanna ensure they never regret being my offspring " That happens" I've had that feeling of regret before, growing up I've imagined being born into a wealthy home where whatever I need will be provided with ease, where money doesn't have to be a problem.
I wouldn't want my kids to develop such a mindset, I want to give them whatever their hearts desire that I'm capable of. Showing my kids love doesn't mean I won't allow them to face their challenges when they arise, like they say "Every man for him cross" There will be a stage where a child would have to stand firm and make certain decisions without the support of a parent.
I won't be overprotective so I won't regret anything later in the future, I'm gonna teach them to be strong as individuals, every child should be able to face their challenges to enable them to live life to the fullest. I've seen children who were overprotected and pampered by their parents who had ended up being fully dependent on their parents.
Love is good when it comes to children, and being protective is awesome but then being too overprotective has its consequences. I'm gonna give my children freedom when it comes to their personal life issues, I'm not gonna be fully involved in their personal life challenges, they should be able to navigate through certain challenges life throws at them just like I did while growing up.
