My Mom Logic
I woke up one morning and realized my kids are growing up. I did not know, and still do not know, what I am going to do when all of my children are eighteen and out of the house.
I started my businesses because of my children and my growing family. I wanted to be at home with them and available for them 24/7. I encouraged myself to continue succeeding because they were my everything. Now, my mom logic, of 10 years past, has come to a halt. What do I do?
I think I will start crying once a day! Then I will start looking at life through foggy glasses. I mean, my entire adult life has been about my children. However good or bad they have been, however successful or failing at life, my days and nights have been about them. Logically, it is now my turn.
My purpose for being is not just about my children. It is about the morals they learn and share with their friends and the people they encounter. My purpose in life is to be a spiritual light to all that I encounter as well; it started with my children. It ends with me, but I need a formula; a plan to continue being successful after they all leave the nest.
The Mom Logical plan consists of being a finisher first. I am tying up the loose ends in establishing the 4, My Kids organization. These loose ends will able me to help others as I have been for so many years. The loose ends consist of finishing the business plan and obtaining a building. Once this is accomplished, I can hire my children as volunteers to provide the service to others that I provided them.
The next step in the growth of my mom logic is leaving the 9-5. The 9-5 is hindering my progress in the above and the other businesses I own. My faith should be so strong that I am walking away from this 9-5 in the next few months; my faith IS so strong that I am preparing the way first.
The last step in my mom logic is to let go and let them all BE! That means, cutting the purse strings and wiping the kids behind the ears, and walking away. I have shown my children in actions and in words that I will not always be there. There are going to be times when they have to figure it out for themselves. The purpose of growth is to learn and move on; I cannot hinder their growth or my own.
The logical steps of a mom like me is a compilation of faith and patience. Over the past 19 1/2 years (the age of my eldest child), I have been challenged with three different characters in my house. I have learned that, logically, I cannot change who they are (if I do not like them), I can only help lead the way. I believe, in my heart, that I have done the best I can. My mom logic says I can let them go knowing I have instilled faith, strong morals, individuality, and self-esteem.
Logically, I'm done!
