It was 18 May, 2015, I became MAMA . This was one of the most awaited & yes, probably one of the happiest moments of my life. Few days back the cute little angel turned 9 months. The day since we brought her home from hospital, I have started changing the way I look at things in life.
This made me share a few things which I learnt in past 9 months:
1) They can make us happy in just a second: I believe no one in this world can do this as quickly as they can.Their one smile can turn down all the anger, sadness, irritation in no time. So, probably babies are the best medicines in the world who can make us happy in just a fraction of a second. Don’t believe? Just try it out! In this journey of Entrepreneurship there are so many incidences when we get sad / irritated / angry & what not..but trust me, just look at a smiling baby face and their innocence will get back to you normal.
2) They trust us without fear: There are some relations in life for which we have to trust & just trust. A relation of brother & sister, a relation of parent with a child or relation with your loved one. We carry baby where we go, we feed them what’s healthy for them, we care for them more than ourselves. For this, babies trust us to take care of things, and they don’t have fear for their life. So, yes there are good people around you in life, just identify them and trust them.
3) They give power to fight: Now since my niece is 9 months old, she has just started crawling. She fights back every time when she tries to crawl & falls aside. Looking at this I feel so motivated towards life, no matter how many times you fall, you get up and find 10 other ways to move ahead.
4) They never hurt us: Babies never hurt us by their words or actions. Whatever they do is in pure innocence. They don’t have wrong intentions. So, big lesson for us is, try to have good intentions towards anyone in life. If you can’t do good to others, atleast try not to do bad with them.
So much to learn from a 9 month old ! Isn’t it? And yes, now she has just learned to murmur and not yet started speaking. What we do, even when we can walk & talk? We should make best use of our time and invest it wisely.
