PARENTING
Why Do You Think Parenting Is Known to Be the Most Difficult Job in the World?
Parents are either creating servant leaders or insecure future adults unlikely to give back to the world!

What are we? Yes, you and me! The mammals' species we call “human beings”. The most simplistic definition I can think of is:
- Spirit: aka the source, the light, the conscience, the principles,
- Mind,
- Soul: who we are as a person; originally a servant leader,
- Special talents.
It brings us to an essential operation that makes the extinction of species unlikely to occur. We call it reproduction. Maybe we need to specify that it didn’t prevent some other living creatures from disappearing because of the greed of our species, though.
So, now that the offspring are born, does it mean that we are done? Okay… I might need to be more accurate here. I am not talking about providing a roof, feeding or buying clothes for the kids, and keeping them safe from any danger threatening their life.
Those are basics that even the most unaware caregiver should unquestionably offer, it seems to me.
More to the point, it seems to me that the main job of parents is:
- “Replicate” the granted spirit (a common part to all human beings) in our subconscious mind dictating our behavior. What would the outcome be? No room for limiting beliefs either about ourselves or the world.
The result? We’d remain connected to the true self and develop our Spiritual Intelligence (SQ) — the most important one of the 4 types we were gifted.
If we are all originally servant leaders, then who are we going to lead, you’re asking? Ourselves and the world that we’d design when each one of us would do our part!
- Encourage our inner tendency to explore, our imagination and curiosity so that we can rapidly and exponentially develop our intellectual capacities — the foundation of developing our Emotional Intelligence (EQ) and Physical Intelligence (PQ), while always being fueled by our principled legacy, aka the manifestation of our SQ.
- Help us discover and honor the gifted talents that we’d use as a contribution to our interconnected and interdependent world. An incredible result of such a wondrous configuration is that we’d be able to reach the highest level of our emotional maturity*** sooner than we would ever expect it.
***Emotional maturity is the balance between being compassionate enough to understand and validate others’ feelings and being brave enough to confront them when required.
Simply put, we’d have never lost the synergy between the left intellectual brain and the right emotional one. We would merely need enough time to train our analytical/critical thinking skills.
Also, to get to know and honor the whole range of our authentic emotions. The ‘authentic’ qualifier is intentional here since our emotions could be ‘perceived’ when our subconscious program is not our friend, I suppose.
For such a privilege and job to be done the right way, it goes without saying that parents need to first “be” what they need to model, be ready for messing up, owning their mistakes, and sincerely apologize to their kids!
