HOW
TO LEAVE A PEACEFUL FAMILY LIFE
As
the holy book says, if the foundation be destroyed, what can the righteous do?
The family is the basic unit of a Nation. A Nation is basically made up of
groups of families. The family is that foundations were people are nurtured and
taught the basic morals of life. A country of 200 million people with an
average of 5 people in the family is made of 40 million families, if a good
percentage of this families have the moral values to live in peace, the nation
will be a peaceful nation.
At
African Art of peace and excellence, we hold the opinion that it’s easier to
put up a light that to fight darkness. So with regards to this,we are focusing
our creative energy on how to make our families more
loving and peaceful.
Knowing what to
let go and what to hold on to: imagine that you have few days to
move, would you pack all your possession in that short period and clean out your
house completely. How about your mental baggage, if you have only few days left
to finish all the important project in your life, would you be able to do all
in that short period
A
lot of times if we are not able to let go of something,we keep dragging along
10, 20, 40 years of mental and physical baggage behind us. At some point that
baggage becomes so unbearable heavy that we just decide to stop moving forward
and start living in the past, for us to have a better family life, we should
know what we really have to let go at a particular point in life. As the years
goes by, there are somepast emotional and physical attachment we must let go,
to have a happy family life.
These
include forgiving those who have hurt us in the past. It is a proven fact that
most times, those who offended you do not really understand how bad you feel,
so its in your best interest to forgive them and drop the excess emotional
luggage and move on with your life.
Also,
we need to forgive ourselves for unachieved dream and goals. As years passes;
we grow,our goals and dreams should also change and grow with us. Can you
imagine if all of us held on to the dreams that we had when we were 6-7 years
old. At every point in life we must drop some good goals and dreams to go for
better ones.
Having
this in mind will help us not to feel like failures, for unachieved goals and dreams.
This will also help our self-esteem as we are happy with ourself and every
other member of our family.
People
who have lived through a disaster never say all I could thing about during the
earthquake was my bank account. They almost say, all I could think about was my
family, it shouldn’t require a disaster for us to know the truth. That truth is
that the peace of our families is the peace of our nation.
“No other
success can compensate for failure in the home” - David O. Mckay
