As humans we are designed to think of the worst of think negatively. It is coded in our head to think that things will not work out and eventually imply to negativity.
Successful people don’t think that way. They think of how to live life abundantly and how to capitalize and monetize every step they take.
They look at themselves as brand ambassadors to promote, advertise and create a legacy.
People like Kylie Jenner, Kim Kardashian, Justin Beiber the new age Internet Moguls are examples of such a legacy. Some are born with a silver spoon and hence their thinking is that abundance will always remain they just need to multiply it.
They function out of a mechanism that life is abundant we just need to multiply it where as the rest of us think to get through the day. The thinking and mindset is very different when such varied combinations of thought processes are compared.
People are often adept to the fact what are parents imprint on us. Like I remember being raised in a very modest middle class family. Clothes would only be bought once a year during the 10-day festivity of Navratri. I clearly remember it used to be 4 sets of clothes which had to be spread across 6 days since we had to go to a community gathering. Now as a young teenager I was wary of the fact that I did not want to repeat clothes but what can you do when you have so less.
Usually this festivity falls in the month of Sept-Oct of every year and even if you thought you could repeat some of the clothes from the beginning of the year there would have been multiple birthday’s and marriage where you would have worn the same attire.
Sigh! It used to be a nightmare and plight of what can you wear as to not hear “Oh you have repeated this dress again”. Apart from that driving to the community hall in your father’s scooter.
That would be another embarrassment because everyone had a car except my dad. Reason: We do not sufficient place to park. Now after having grown up that was the worst lies any parent could have told their children.
I understand if I were told that we cannot afford it but look at the defense mechanism of the parents that they would say since there is no place to park hence we are not buying a car.
Its like Kylie Jenner saying to Stormie our closet is full so instead of building a new closet within the house, let’s go but another multi million dollar house to accommodate your Louis Vuitton bag.
Isn’t it strange that a middle class girl would always have one rich friend who would not know the price of anything in the market because she is so busy looking good!!!
But good we have outgrown those days and become wiser. We obviously lie better to our children. Now we lie with logic.
Once my daughter asked how are babies born? She was 4 years old. I was obviously zapped. For a few minutes I was nervous of what do I respond. I had not been so nervous even during my Board exams!!! To that I replied that your Dad and I went to a doctor and told him we wanted a baby. The doctor showed some samples of bottles that were kept on his table, I chose the bottle. Then he took an injected the liquid from that bottle via an injection and in a few days, I become pregnant. This was the best answer I could come up with on the question asked of how babies are made. This is exactly what I had asked my Mom when I was 4.
My daughter took a few minutes to absorb and digest the answer. After sometime she walks up to me and says that what is the role of Dad? Why is he married to you and why is it that she calls him a father?
Thankfully she is grown up now and I do not have to face these questions anymore. No one really teaches you parenting. Every parenting style is unique.
