You know how they say:
But since most of my life, I spent closely with my siblings; I came to a conclusion:
My siblings are a major part of who I am today.
They are the main reason why I operate the way I do, why I see the world the way it is, and why my values are the way they are.
Having a big family is a tricky business to maintain. Not to mention navigating all the relationships with its members.
If you turn off your ego and start observing and listening genuinely to yourself and others around you, you will be amazed at how much you can learn about yourself by reflecting upon your family dynamics.
As we fit into the dynamics of our household, the household dynamics fit within us.
We shaped each other based on our affinities and personalities.
Not many people had the opportunity to shape themselves from an early age. To be a blank page, tabula rasa.
Human beings are live organisms. Our concise is a sponge that absorbs everything.
Filter your mind ruthlessly. Choose your environment.
Select your surroundings carefully.
Mold yourself and pray daily.
The ego is the enemy and the best friend.
Do not be vassal to it but know when to use it as a source of energy and motivation.
I am most peaceful when I write.
What about you?
Sending hugs and kisses,
Your one and only,
Lovely Andela
