Your Presence is a Present to the World

We have all heard, “Your presence is a present to the world” and yet for many of us we may not see it that way. This thought process of finding positive in our minds and thinking that what we do and say does not only help others in the world but does begin to retrain and change the brain.

This can be a very hard struggle for some people because of prior life experiences or traumas and even current life experiences some are enduring. The awareness of being able to think positive before being negative is a gift, given to each of us.

This awareness comes from deep inside someone wanting change but may not know how to create the positive in their minds and life. It may come from our experiences and the life struggles of others that we witness, it may come from religious or spiritual guidance, or it may just come from within ourselves.

Reframing has been a tool I have been using for many years to help myself stay positive and see the glass half full. Although, I am not sure where this mindset came from and overall I had positive childhood experiences but somehow, I managed to remember my childhood negative experiences.

What I began to understand and became aware of as I grew older is that my presence is a present to my children and this might have been the original reason I stayed focused on the positive. Having children might have just been the reason for the conscious change in this thought process that allowed me to share this with not just my children but others.

It’s not just what I say but what I do, so I always try my best to show them this even in a world full of conflict. What I think and say reflects upon my children’s own developing inner sense of positive awareness. When they listen to my positive, supporting and inspiring words or thoughts, or even when they listen to me feeling angered and triggered, in the end I hope what they immediately think of is the positive and not the negative.

I hope they hear, You are unique, you are one of a kind, your life can be what you want it to be no matter how old you are, one day at a time, trust the process, be humble but confident, help others, forgive especially yourself, count your blessings not your troubles, you’ll make it through whatever comes along, within you are so many answers, be strong, be courageous, you can do it and most of all, I love you.
