How Personal Growth Helped a Mother Trapped in a Little Girl’s Mind.

Mother Trapped in Little Girl's Mind

This is a true story of a mother grappling with personal growth. She knew that her current situation required she grew beyond her current view of life which was still very much through that of an innocent little girl’s mind.

While raising her children (which began when her children were going to kindergarten and elementary school) she was secretly going to school herself. This was not a regular school. There was no curriculum or agenda.

A School of Her Own

While her children were being cultured, nurtured and taught by the teachers, this mother searched for answers that seemed out of this world. She could not see where she would be going. But she must take it upon herself to fulfil this much needed journey of self-growth. Decades of emotional turmoil and pain followed. In fact, her social circle was apt to condemn her for doing so.

She questioned some of her own ways of raising her children, which appeared normal to the outside world. She knew the negative emotions that slipped through, the thoughts, the voices in her head and the language she used was not appropriate for raising her children. She sought books and teachers to help her with better methods of dealing with people and life than as conditioned by her tribe or social circle.

Battling within herself the emotions that arose while going through her lessons, she had no one to turn to. No professional places she could go to for the help, the learning she desired. And we’re not considering the medical or psychological ones either. She appeared to be a normal if super active mum nurturing her 3 children, going to work, always helping others, taking part in the community. Who would believe her desires? Who will understand her need?

School of Hard Knocks

When she began re-educating herself, her lifestyle was developing her. No one taught her nor told her that life itself was another but bigger issue. There was a whole world that she never knew existed. But this is what the desire for demanding progress gives you. Her living conditions changed. Her world view started to widen. The in laws, the spouse, her friends and other relationships to people were viewed with a much different understanding. In fact, she started to realize she was being used. She gave and they demanded more and took but not giving. That became a great lesson in itself.

Mother in Meditation

She no longer felt satisfied with the daily physical living. The visual became real but no longer acceptable. She wanted what only her soul could guide her to provide. This mum now felt enslaved by her own outlook in life. And the realization came one day that she had power. The power to remain enslaved or to make a difference and become someone her burning desire demands.

This incredible, all-knowing universe we live within points you the way when you demand and expect of it. Reading great books one day like Road Less Travelled by Scott Peck, Celestial Prophecy by James Redfield began her journey. First, she attributed her personal growth to god. Then many costly gurus came and went. However, she realized that it was because of her great hunger for knowledge and growth that made her world of personal development move so fast. Her realizations reached expanded to include those “teachers” who taught erroneous principles, which became useful knowledge in itself. Those that taught wonderful knowledge grew her development exponentially.

Little Girl Graduated

Graduation

Looking back, she had grown so much, overcome emotional challenges, habits reform, outlook on life. Without the personal self-development is like she was only a child raising her children. Most of us haven’t even learnt to deal with our tribal issues we plunge into another relationship with all the past development. Often the new relationship is just as bad, or worse than the previous one. Another obvious one is when we still seek approval from our parents whether they are alive or deceased. Seeking approval continues with our present partners.

This mother can now say that she has become her own grown up self. She started the journey of personal self-development with 3 main desires.

1) Burning desire inside of her to find answers. She was not satisfied just by living in the physical realm.

2) Better mum in raising her children. She knew how she was brought up was neither healthy nor happy.

3) What set out for her children and herself, with her vast knowledge, experience and ability she is focused on helping people. Any journey is possible and made clearer with a guiding light.

Today, she stands with great love and pride beside her once little girl as she attends her graduation ceremony from university. In fact her 3 children have graduated from school.

This mother has evolved many different levels of awareness and consciousness. This is what keeps her alive. By knowing, practicing, learning and experiencing the truth of the universe, of existence, of purpose, of potential. This is the Personal Mastery of Life.
