From the mouth of babes

My child has an infection.Its minor, however she needed mediation so I got her some.They don't taste so well because it's medicine.This morning am giving her a dose and she is whispering something."I am brave, I am brave". I am marvelling at the way she is calm saying it and takes the medicine without cringing.In that moment I realize something really interesting about our existence.

She knew what it tasted like,she knew she didn't like it and so she was prepared.She found a way to calm herself through that. Reminded herself that she could do it and then she did.The power of the human mind.

I want to borrow this phenomenal way if dealing with everyday. Life changes everyday,we know it's not easy.We know that it's not predictable,we even know what is likely to be difficult.From this amazing tiny human we can learn to accept that we still have to live it.We can learn that we need to be ready for the tough times and so we speak power to our situation.Remind ourselves that we are brave,that we are strong enough to deal.Yes it's Monday,there's a bad taste in your mouth because it's not going exactly how you want.But you are brave and you can do this.

The ideology that you have done it before,got through worse, conquered tougher time is enough.Its enough for you to know that one more dose and you are closer to the goal.One more step of you being brave and you get closer to making it.

No man is an island and we all need someone in our lives.It can be a tiny human reminding us to brave our fears.Showing us in her small way that if she can get through a bad taste then we can get through adulting.

Happy week ahead,may your blessings locate you at the point of your need.
