One of the greatest blessings to live better

Nowadays, we have so much to do and so many things that we want to do. Consciously or unconsciously, as we aim for happiness and success we start to expect to have few things that may help us reach the goals in our lives.

Those expectations we have for ourselves can be like being social (both online and offline), work hard, play hard, travel, eat healthy, workout, dress up, write, draw and what not. There are hundreds of articles and videos out there which tell people to stop for a moment and think about their priorities or things they expect to or want to have in their lives. I am writing this for those for whom family is important and worth giving priority to.

We spent all our childhood with our family and when we grow up and move out, we start to discover ourselves more and more, we start to create new needs and desires. Slowly the need to be with our parents fades. It sounds sad but if we take care of this matter with a little bit of attention and empathy it can bring you nothing but more satsifactioon and happiness in your life.

Our parents or family are the one’s who gave the us the ‘brief’ of how to design a good life. Atleast in my case it’s like that. I dont mean to say my parents chose paths for me, but they gave me guidelines for my life. My parents really wanted me to be independent, decent and have a big heart for the poeple and the world. They told me so many valuable and wonderful things as I grew up. They have bigger and brighter dreams for me than what I have for myself. They see me growing up all independent, traveling around, being good at my career and doing ‘something’ even if it’s small to make the world a better place to live. That’s sounds like my dream, but they dreamed about it long before I saw it.

My dreams and plans don’t match exactly with my parents’ one, and its ok because I was never obliged to fullfill their ones. However, since i am closely bonded with my family, we do stay on the same page and they are happy for who I am and who I am becoming slowly. Fullfilling my dreams would probably make them happier than me. I dont ever stress over how to make them happy, i just do what makes me happy.

It sounds very beautiful and simple, and it is really like that. To have this peaceful bonding a person have to have the ‘bonding’ first. An adult has to count his or her parents when he or she are asked to list the people he or she thinks of and stay in touch to regularly. Those who live near or with their parents, they are lucky and I hope they realize it. For those who moved out far away, you still can be connected from the medias everyday you use to kill time. The blessings from family is very important to be happy and successful in life.
