In order for the society to be strong or in order to lead the society in a steady direction, you need to encourage family culture. Great family values are the basic foundation of any healthy society. We need to keep and encourage family values in our kids to have better tomorrow. So, I decided to write a blog on family culture.
Just like building a house requires a concrete foundation the same thing goes for having great societies. I genuinely believe that, people who give their attention to their families are less anxious, less resentful and less nihilistic.
I believe that, there are certain things we can learn if we give importance to family culture.
1. You care more about others than yourself: I don’t have to give too much emphasis on this. It’s pretty much self-explanatory. The head of the family (generally male) protects and provides for the family. Mother takes care of the house and kids. Kids play with each other and drive each other crazy. I believe that, this is a wonderful description of any great family. Both parents take think and care about their kids. They do their best to give them great future!
2.When feeling low, talk to your family: I know that, it is sometimes hard to express your depressed thoughts to anyone because, we are too scared about what others will say about it. There’s something even more painful than keep storing negative thoughts in your mind and that is explosion of resentful thoughts like a volcano. If you feel that, something is bothering you, you need to talk to your loved ones in a positive manner. You take advice from your mom & dad because, they have more life experiences than you got. I’m sure that, if your intentions are pure, there’s always a way to fight with malevolence. All you need to have courage. Courage comes easily when you have focus on strong family values.
3. More fun with your siblings: i have been living in Canada for more than 5 years by myself. . I believe that, family is blessing. what I really miss is the fun that I used to have with my siblings. Driving them crazy. I miss the smile & I miss the laughter. Having fun really helps you to become stress free. I strongly encourage you that, if you got siblings make sure to drive them crazy. Have fun and laugh together a lot.
4. You learn discipline: when you stay with your family, you are assigned house chores. I know that, no one likes to do them but, it really shapes you. Your mom assigns you to clean your room, washroom. Making sure things are well organized. Your dad on the other hand asks you to help him to build/create something for the home. Sometimes asks you to bring something from the market. Doing All the small things helps you to become disciplined in your life. It’s way more better than reading hundreds of books on discipline.
5. Great values put spiritual needs first: if there’s a problem in the family, the whole family comes together to solve the problem. They come together and pray to the creator to give their family enough strength and courage to deal with the challenges. Kids are generally encouraged to pray to God before they go to sleep. I believe that, being grateful is one of the most important thing you can learn or embrace.
At the end, I would like to say that, if you don’t have really good relationships with your family. The best thing you can do is to fix them now! If you have your reasons why you hate your family, have the courage to think about one great reason why you like your family and why it is so important for you in your life?
Strong families create better society!
