Childhood is the true phase of your life where you learn to be original, with
no sense of inhibition, shame or fear. You learn to articulate things as you
see without fabricating it or coloring it to make it look good. But slowly it
is the adults who taught you to limit your powers, shackle your genius and
betray the truths of your heart. Very soon you find yourself boxed in and
designed to operate at a very superficial level.
The lamp of your creativity,
your positivity and your intimacy with your greatness grew dim as you began to
worry about fitting in, having more than others and being popular. Well, here’s
what I say: participate not in the world of numbed-out grownups, with its
scarcity, apathy and limitation. Your surroundings really do shape your perceptions,
your inspirations and your implementations. The right values and ethics that
you hold on to, will give you the freedom to choose things that are worth and
edifying.
The Bible exhorts us by
these words, “Whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just,
whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable -if there are any
moral excellence and if there is anything praiseworthy-dwell on these
things". This is not a religious emphasis, but a divine way to
healthy living which has a capacity to impact our personal life as well as the
society we live in.
Why do people continuously
strive to fit in to find their significance? God has blessed each one of us
with unique gifts and potential to be a better human and live a life that can
bring happiness and peace to oneself and to others. Let us help our children
and the people in our influence to unleash the goodness and make them realize
that they are worth living to impact the community and nation.
