You are busy. I know. Working all of the time to provide for your loved ones. Trying to make ends meet and acquiring all of that stuff you would like. Just maintain in mind what you may be giving up in the process…the precious memories you fail to produce with your children.
You see, as you mature you begin to location less emphasis on acquiring and more on reflection where you begin to truly pay attention of all of your accomplishments as well as painful regrets.
Now take a moment and put yourself into the future when it gets this period of reflection. Imagine you in a time where your children have grown into reputable adults raising families of their own. Imagine the all the time that has passed of your children's lives that you'll never have a single chance to see again.
As you imagine yourself into this situation, start to believe all of the stuff you have acquired. You know the big home and the large screen TV, fancy cars, elaborate vacations, etc. Pay attention of all the feelings this stuff provides you with. Consider all of that stuff but with out a single memory of your children. How will you be able to feel? Would you feel as in the occasion you had regrets of NOT creating memories of your children? Wouldn't these regrets be a bit agonizing to have knowing there is nothing you are in a position to do to change the past?
Now imagine yourself without all of that that stuff. Just considering memories of your children in their early years and that is all. Believe of all of the easy things that moved you emotionally and also the time spent with them. Pay attention of all of the feelings these beautiful memories give you. Look at their faces, their smiles, and the actions as you see them growing via the years. Just how much stronger are your emotions now? Would you feel any regrets NOT having stuff? Wouldn't these regrets seem rather insignificant compared those warm memories you have made?
By imagining your self within the future reflecting on life you can acquired a glimpse of what really matters most. I am not saying it's evil to obtain possessions, rather I am saying to get too caught up into it that you loose sight of a few of the things that are more essential in life…memories. These memories are yours to maintain and will fulfill your life now and into the future more than any possession can. Consider all that stuff you acquired that ended up within the trash or you don't use? More than likely in the event you consider that stuff now you will realize that the emotional impact they once created no longer has the exact same effect. A memory of your child has just as much impact as it did when the memory was created. And it LASTS via your life as you look back upon them on occasion.
Take into account also that the memories you produce with your children are their memories also. They get to carry them through life. They get to reflect upon those times with you or the absence of. They will give them a try as references throughout life in which the will base their future actions upon. Maintain this in mind as you consider making changes inside your way of life to invest much more emphasis creating memories and less on acquiring short term stuff.
What I am saying is…
From time-to-time you ought to evaluate your situation in life. Numerous times we invest so a lot time in needless acquiring that we usually overdo it. Spending our money and dragging ourselves into needless debt to where we're FORCING ourselves to make ends meet. Keeping ourselves at our jobs late giving up the little time we do have here on earth for the things items that finish up being less important. Yes
, you do need to offer for your family. But when you have your self financially extended because of needless spending you might be ultimately losing the most essential thing inside your life also as your children's lives…memories.
