My parents left out a few lessons that many other kids learned from theirs. Certain common habits that i just never developed. Over the past 5 years of my life, i have become more interested in people, just watching passers-by and watching how they react and the choices they make. But one thing that still blows my mind is how young guns (a.k.a toddlers hahah) can pick things up from parents that werent even taught to them. Just by the parents actions and words we lean so much, which you have probably been told before. Some people havent been so lucky with a set of parents who live a grateful life and didnt teach them anything or cared for them enough. fortunately, mine do.
Some people grow up in a self-destructive home, and they learn to explode to troubling circumstances. If i had been taught to approach life with more of an impulse i would have a self destructive life as well. So thank you mom and dad for not teaching me these things and allowing me to view the world how it actually is:
1.) to blame and complain:
My dad has always been a "do something about it person." if something went wrong you can bet your hard earned dollar that he was going to do soemthing about it.
This has recently showed me how many people in my past, present, and future will continue to blame and point fingers to other people as if it were there fault. I mean they will point out all the faults in that person rather than bring the best out in them. We see this in our culture today on the news you hear " Today (enter fiasco here) in Washington." Americans are always looking to find Who's to blame? who should fired? who should be charged?
2.) that i should not believe anything without question
My mom grew up a christian and i did as well, but not int he same way, because i didnt believe or understand the term "christianity till i was 14. So i went to make her happy. there were no absolute truths in my childhood. I was allowed to discover the world on my own adn make my own mistakes and my own choices. without having done that, i wouldnt have grown any stronger and became the person i am today or as close to god as i am now,
3.) who im supposed to be
never once has my mom or dad told me that i have to be an all-star, be a husband, get married, and have children. I mean yeah, who doesnt want that. But they always put my dreams ahead of theirs. there really was no master plan for my life for a long while. i didnt know what i wanted to do until the end of my freshmen year in college, adn my parents were ok with that. they supported me in everything i did.
Basically what im saying is that some of lifes greates lessons are the lessons we arent taught and figure out on our own....look closely into the world and try to find truth in your life :)
Love
Austin
