Have You Excepted Less in Your Life?
Many of you already know that I have a childcare center in my home. Back when I was a new mom and had given birth to our twin daughters I had decided I wanted to stay home. It was important to me to be there for my daughters and witness everything in their life. A career was not really my thing and at the time I had worked as a bank teller, not exactly your high paying career. My thought was my mom stayed home with me and I want to do the same.
But there was just a small problem in this equation. We couldn't afford to loose my income, and Robert was just starting out in accounting. Money was tight as is with many new families just starting out.
Pregnant with twins and working at the bank I had a discussion one day with a fellow bank teller. She explained to me how she ran a daycare in her home and did this for many years while raising her children. This conversation planted the seed for the future.
Six months later I was a new mom and had started my childcare center. I placed an ad in the local newspaper and one week later I had 3 children which replaced my income from the bank. And that's how it started 12 years ago this year.
Since then I have hired on an employee and have 8 children who come to my home daily. Robert and I own a ranch style house with a finished basement. In the basement is my daycare along with an office.
Childcare for us has been a wonderful business, one where I been able to afford the time and luxury of staying home and establishing a career that has allowed us vacations and some of the better things in life.
Childcare has also allowed me to see and understand how other people think about themselves and their children. Which at many times can be interesting, frustrating, and plain strange.
This morning is a perfect example of what I'm talking about, and you may be wondering what does this have to do with multiple sclerosis? Isn't that what I'm supposed to be reading about? Hold on partner we'll get to that part.
This morning I had one of my parents enter my home, he's the father of a 2 year old little boy named Tyler. The father announced to me, we are going to send Tyler to school next year; he'll be in a 3K program. My response was thank you for giving me so much notice of your impending change and decision.
Seems innocent enough, right? Lots of parents enroll their children in 3K or 4K programs. Besides, never leave any child behind'. Educate our children from a young age and they will become fine and productive citizens.
Folks, here is where I want to challenge you.
When did we (adults) stop educating ourselves the minute school was over with? Why are we choosing to accept television over books? Tabloid magazines over real life biographies of people who are achievers and have triumphed in their life.
At some point we become adults and stop nourishing our minds with positive educational information. We bombard ourselves with the nonsense we are spoon fed on T.V. on how we are supposed to live our lives and what we are supposed to believe.
Back to that question what does this have to do with multiple sclerosis? Everything.
Folks, never stop accepting what you have and that there is no hope for you, no improvements in your disability, no plans for the future. If you have decided to stop educating yourself and stop searching for answers and information than you'll get just what you have. No options, no solutions, and little hope.
You'll continue to be depressed, frustrated, and anxiety ridden. There are no excuses anymore there are only solutions, answers, and hope. Start educating yourself and realize that it doesn't have to stop and shouldn't stop at the high school level. Start reading and I suggest you start with: Healing Multiple Sclerosis
