We go through our days and think about what life is all about and what is our place in it. Why are we here and what am I doing with my life? There even time when we look back at the events of our own past ask, “What was I thinking when I…?”. Life is not about regrets for thing we could have done, should have done or would have done.
When you have children of your own, all you need to do is to look into their eyes and all those questions get answered. Well accept that one about, “What was I thinking when I…?”. We are here to teach our children to be the best people they can possibly be. We look around our world and wish girls had more freedom to explore every career.
We look at men and wish they were more sensitive and in touch with their feelings. The question is what are we doing about it? Are we giving our daughters toys that are traditionally boy toys or are we giving our sons toys that were traditionally girl toys? Or do just keep up the same old thing of wanting our daughters to be girly girls and our boys to act like a man?
When we raise our children we have a chance to instill in the next generation the qualities that we wanted in our generation. If we teach our children that girls cannot do this cause it is a man’s thing, we have betrayed our daughters. If we tell our sons that they must fight, be tough and hide their emotions we have betrayed them.
We condemn to live with the same sins we have had to live with and we have not moved anything forward. Reach changes comes in baby steps if it is to be meaningful change. We cannot expect to legislate what society views as normal, that is something that we teach our children.
If we teach our sons it’s ok to cook and our daughters it’s ok to work on cars, than we have made a change that matters. When I look back at what things and ideas of what was acceptable 20-30yrs ago. The things that we do today would not have flown in the least.
Our ideas and values have changed over the last 20-30 years. Men are now more sensitive than they were than and women are more masculine than they were. With it comes a change in mind sets that allow us to be us and not what others think we should be. Today you owe it to yourself to be true to who God made you to be. To be anything other than that is to live a lie.im-breaking-free.blogspot.com
