Growing Up is a Personal Decision (The Choice)

Growing up is a choice! Some people decide not to take it, no matter how old they are, and they have their reasons. But some people know for a fact, to them, that it is a must decision no matter how young they are.

Hi, this is Alpha, and before I start  talking, if you are the head of your family, then this post is for you. Let me be completely honest with you. No one is perfect, we are humans, and are supposed to do mistakes, we are not angels. However we are supposed to control ourselves; because if we failed to do so, things will be a real mess up. Now, who wants to have mess up life anyway, I know I don't, and neither do you. believe me.

So here is the thing, I believe growing up is something that people have to comply with in certain point. There is no specific time or age for making up your mind for this step, however sometimes it might actually cost you a lot, if the decision was too late, as it's too late.

What you should do about it?

Set priorities in your life, and put in your mind that you Can Not have it all. Sacrifices must take place sooner or later; because you might lose it all my friend.

Some people in your life must go, they can not stick with you forever. They might be there for you when you need them for sure, but they can not stick around. Why? As I said, you can not have it all.

Sometimes, the only way to show people how we love them, is by giving them a bit of privacy, if we really care for them. Understanding this is hard sometimes, not only that, sometimes we want to stick with some people we know in our life, without noticing that we are hurting someone else.

When you start to set up priorities in your life, and moving on with your life with the ones who are important to you the most, then, and only then, you will figure out that, this is actually a part of growing up.

It is a big process indeed, and I am a part of it, and I am still growing up, I am still setting up priorities. Every phase in my life I change these priorities, depends on what is best for my family.

When things getting hard and confusing, I choose my family; because eventually, this is what matter, and anything else has to comply. It will be a big lie if I though that someone else will care about me more than my family.

Lifting your family up is your responsibility, and it also defines who you are. Don't get distracted with mixed emotions and start to be aware, before it is too late.

I have seen homes and families being destroyed; because the word "I", I want, I don't think, I don't care. Sometimes it is not bad at all to use "I", but not in all cases. Sometimes the word "We" is the right choice, specially when are addressing how our family feels about us.

For example and not limited, changing habits, of going our with your male/female friends every night, or playing games for hours without even sharing the fun with your family, or spending too much time on social media. Sharing your feelings about your family and family secrets with your friends, and leaving them literally naked in front of everyone's eyes to see their defects, this is not fair, and not only that, you are making them ugly in people eyes.

Some people are really sick and want to make sure you are not leaving them, even if the price for this is your family. They will always play the victim to you, and you will always feel weak in front of them, and you will buy it every single time my friend, and before you know it, your family is long time gone. Don't take your family for granted; they have feelings and they will react upon it, sooner or later.

I have seen families have been destroyed because of this, yet the man has now idea what went wrong.

So let me leave you with this. The more you create a gap between you and your family, the chance is big of losing them. And not seeing what went wrong is even worse than doing it.

Would you let your Daughter/Son do same mistakes you did? [About Regret]

Regret! This post is a about your expectation from your kids whether or not you want them to follow your steps. A message to parents, and what kind of society you want you children to be a part of?

Hi, this is Alpha again, I am back from my vacation in Cebu, wonderful place, we shall talk about it later in another topic.

In this topic we want to be honest with each other. Not for me, but for you!

So this week I was scrolling down in my Instagram, and I saw one of my friends has posted a new picture, I respect this person a lot and we worked together in the past, she has a very good personality, not only that, she is actually one of those employees that you want to keep, for their honesty and their attitude, specially when they are dealing with customers.

Here is the thing, my friend is a single mother. I know it is not easy by any chance to be a working single mother. It is just complicated just by saying it. Yet the society and your employer wants to see your beautiful smile on your face, all the time, no matter how much trouble you are going through and no matter how difficult your life is.

And I have been thinking, what kind of society you want your kid to live in? Would you let your daughter go through same struggles that you are going through? or you will teach your daughter different things about relationships. Are you going to tell her don't trust men, or you will tell her there is good men out there? will you tell her I wish you have better life and stable marriage, or you will tell her follow my steps blindly?

On the other hand, the father who run away, would you like your son to follow your steps, being not man enough? hurting women, and leave them to face life a lone in early age and take everything away from them? will you tell him, take from women the right to get graduate and to get a decent job; because they will be busy raising their baby, or you will tell him, don't be like me, and you will tell him to respect women? Will you tell him to be man is by touching as much woman as he can? Or you will teach him no to touch anyone before they marry them? Will you tell him to run away once a women is pregnant? Or you will tell him to be a man and be responsible for his actions?

So basically, my question is, would you like your daughter and your son to live in a society that has trust issues?

We have to understand that, Women not suppose to suffer and face the world alone, and Men not suppose to be irresponsible to their families.

I don't want you to answer me, I want you to answer yourself this question. Look at your kids, you will see in their eyes a great future waiting for them, waiting for you, to give them a proper education, teaching them to be better and to have better luck than you. We both know that our children can do better, and we need to admit it in ourselves.

Same goes for the cheater, would you like your daughter or your son to do same mistakes you have been doing? or you will try so hard to not make them be different person than who you are? Because sometimes I feel - And I know I am wrong - that  some parents don't deserve to the blessings of having kids, but if God decided for them to have them, then indeed there is a wisdom behind this, a wisdom that is bigger than my understanding.

Coldplay said it, "nobody said it was easy", and I agree!

Now is it is your move, and I hope that your children will have better life, and they will have a stable relationships when they grow up; because there is nothing to prove here. It is indeed there time now
