Power of Appreciation

I just want to share, i have changed.
I acknowledge the fact that i am not the ONLY one.

Although i did not put empathy as one of my values, i realise i do put myself into others' people shoes.

This morning, my mum is doing the "usual" sharing.
She started to talk about things that happened years ago(things that she felt is her LIFE experience). For the 1st time, i listen.

I have chose to listen to my mum more and more recently.
I did an experiment with my niece. And i am RIGHT!!
Babies does not understand language, they understood your meanings. Like your tone, your expressions, your bodylanguage. They cannot really understand the words at first, they learn what they can feel first.
As i listen to my mum, i start to omit out the words she used, i realise her expressions is slight agitated, her tonality is aggresive, her bodylanguage is illustrative. I started to see a mum that i failed to see for years. She is so perfect. I looked at students that we have, all complained about their parents this and that. I remembered clearly how i make my parents cried before because of things that i learnt outside and used against them. I understand how it feels to win them.

There's a saying," you win the arguement, you'll lose the fight"

Took me years to understand. I have been losing them for years. Now i want to bring back my parents. No matter how disappointed, how upset, how afraid they are of me, i would want to find them all back.

Learning to appreciate is one of the greatest gift of mankind. The reason why a child want to be rebellious is not because of outside influences, is their desire to have freedom. And the funny thing is, they often want to prove to their parents that they are smarter, they are better, they are big enough to handle themselves; Most importantly, they are never better than their parents until they learn how to appreciate them. Now I see alot of similarities between me and my parents. I ridicule my past. I have not even learnt my parents' strength, how can i complain my mum is nagging....etc..

Appreciation is the art of empowering yourself with strengths of your own and others. That is why people who know how to appreciate things, they don't complain, critisize or condemn.

To appreciate, we must first accept 100%, embrace what others have given us and empower ourselves to be free. This is true freedom!!
