Becoming a parent,
Is not just losing oneself.
It's not that we no longer live for out own desires and needs alone anymore...
It's just that, we have become someone else's entire world.
But it's also important that that little human knows what it is to be a functional adult as they look up to us to learn about how to navigate this thing called life
We can't lose ourselves entirely and make them our whole world (although we are to them in their eyes). There's a much bigger world out there then ourselves or even themselves, and it's important that they know that...
The world doesn't revolve around them (after some point at a certain age.. of maybe say 3? Or later... ). And we need to role model that in a healthy way for them, for their little minds to pick up on in it's formative years. Cause it would be a life long thing after that as their subconcious inner child in their adulthood.
Don't want them to have to deal with unwrapping any trumas later on in life... there's so much more that can be done if one has the right platform.
That's why pointing them to God is a good thing. God gives purpose. He is .. after all the Way, the Truth and the Life.
