THE PENNY PROMPT
The Three Words I Try to Embody
And want my children to remember as life lessons
If you asked my friends to describe me I think one of the things they would allude to is my smartness or intelligence. Perhaps it stems from a stereotype of being Indian, but I think it’s mostly their perception and partly the way I conduct myself.
There is something to be said about the words that we use that are a reflection of our thoughts, beliefs, and value system that is then expressed in our actions not only towards others but also to ourselves.
Be Kind
Be Thoughtful
Be Helpful
I didn’t know the word “empath” existed until recently. Although I wouldn’t categorize myself as an empath, I do have a high level of empathy towards others since I was a child.
I am attuned to the emotions and energies of others which is what drew me to my work with children with disabilities.
Like the Ten Commandments, I have these three commandments that I’ve tried to embody in my life and have shared with my children: lead by example — by being kind, helpful, and thoughtful.
