Privilege

This last month has really been different, it is the first time in my life that I have really felt this way, so much has changed. My role as a mother has given me this new-ness feeling and how natural it all feels, like I have done this for a while now. It has been just a few days shy of 4 weeks since our baby girl joined our family and the emotions are still running high. It is a privilege being her carer her teacher and her guide in life.

When we grow we naturally give to others and this adds to our sense of self in such an unselfish way. We are serving others and we seek connection and contribution. I am sure many parents feel this way. You do not know how life changes until you have children. How true a statement. I had heard it so many times that I was waiting for the moment where I could say ‘yes that is when it happened’. For me it was right after birth. Our baby was real and here, and she needed protection, love, food and comfort. Children are a gift and we as parents are there to show them the way, letting them become independent and one day fly away from home.

When do you feel privileged? Are there moments that are etched in your memory that give you pride and fills you up with love?

As a life coach I also feel privileged, as I assist people on their journey. I’m part of this transition, being able to shed light on issues and be a guide for my clients attain that next level whatever it is for them. Yes this too is a privilege. It is an act of serving others, being authentic and seeking your own truth.
