TYHE FAMILY WHO TRAVELS WITH US


INSPIRAMIN

One Dosis of Inspiration a Day





As we go through life, we constantly reminded of things we learned when we were young from our parents, our siblings, our aunts, our uncles, and other family members. That is the reason why when we visit the places we grew up we are quickly reminded of our mental role models because this is where they first emerged. The first school we went to, the supermarket in the neighborhood, our first friends, the street where we grew up as children.

I would say our parents are usually the most influential members of our families.

Significantly integrated families gave us all the support we needed and tended to either produce a most healthy outcome in life or for those who were ignored or rejected as children they had to work harder in order to find themselves and have an empathetic contact to survive.

The strongest influence in our lifetime is the family we grew up in.  Not all the family influences are totally positive and the family is not the only place to look for how to behave with others.  In some cases, parents and siblings can create lots of complexes for children, making you feel inferior by criticizing everything you do. Some parents want to instill their ideas and beliefs by imposing them on us.

Even being away from home, our family and their influences are always in the back of our minds and travel with us forever.  We have to learn how to manage these influences, how to think for ourselves and set limits to feel free without having to always look back to the past.

As human beings, we have the capacity to reinvent ourselves by cleansing all the junk we have accumulated in our brains from others and start all over again after a bad period of our lives.   As I grew older, I learned how to manage and maintain my own convictions and ideas.  I am also surrounded with lots of love and support which is a very important element to helping me to look forward and never backward.
