True Family
“The bond that links your true family is not one of blood, but of respect and joy in each other’s life. Rarely do members of one’s family grow up under the same roof. “
This is a quote from the book Illusions, The Adventures of a Reluctant Messiah by Richard Bach. My Aunt and Uncle loaned it to me and it was an amazing read. So many people, including myself, want their family to be there for them. And when this doesn’t happen, they are crushed. And they spend their lives wanting to be loved. The thought of knowing some or all of your family doesn’t agree with you, or respect you, or love you can be devistating. It’s the most basic of all desires. But odds are there is somebody in your life that fulfills this request, somebody that respects and fills you with joy. Somebody that is there for you.
I’ve seen friends and family longing for love and approval from their parents. Here is some news for you, all parents love their kids. They just have different ways of showing it. My Father shows it by providing financially, just as his Father taught him. For years I fought this, I wanted love on my terms. Well grab a pen and write this down, you can’t make people do anything. Sure you can physically force them. But I’m not talking about that. People do what they were taught over their lifetime. Change is difficult. Rewriting years of programming is extremely diffifcult, but it can be done ONLY IF YOU DESIRE TO.
Back to True Family, does some of your family drive you crazy? Well you are not alone. The term disfunctional family encompasses everybody now. And some or all of our family has their own agenda when it comes to our happiness. They do not respect our beliefs or wish true joy upon us. And that is fine, I just don’t recommend spending a lot of time with them. Just because they are blood does not give them the right to continually bring us down. We need people that lift us up and believe in our limitless potential. Who in your life fulfills this? Who are you close to that you respect and honor and who do you lecture and pull down? And who do you spend your valuable time with day after day?
