Conversation With My Old Self Before Having A Baby
Conversation With My Old Self Before Having A Baby
In the privacy of our minds we constantly talk to ourselves about almost everything! Our inner monologue might seem pointless at times, but the truth is these invisible conversations in our heads do in fact help us learn, keep calm and maintain a positive act in many cases. Here, we have a loving mom talking to her young old self, way before marriage and kids. What would you tell your old self today? Look closely, can you relate?

New me
Hey you, it’s been a while.
Old me
Oh hiiii, how are you? I know right!
New me
I'm alright, drained though. Kids and house taking all my time.
Old me
Kids.. how did that happen (-_-)
New me
Never thought I’d say this, but it was the best ‘un-planned’ decision I ever took..
Old me
But you're drained and exhausted… where is this coming from?
New me
Yes, and I'm going crazy as well... but guess what, when you have kids, you discover a new meaning to life. You start asking yourself what you can do for the world, not what can the world do to you...
Old me
Go on… ʘ_ʘ
New me
This might seem odd, but kids make you unselfish, and they give you purpose. And purpose is the answer to having a long happy life. Many people don’t have a purpose and are still searching for it… my search has ended when my kids came.
Old me
You could have pursued your career you know.. wasn't that a purpose for you?
New me
It was at some point of time, but how rich would my life be if I had stayed in that office?
Old me
…..
New me
Yes, children are perceived as a backward step for a professional career. Yet again, making my life rich and filled with unconditional love goes beyond workplace. And let’s face it, I can always find another job. And I can make my career wherever my job is found, and if I lose my job, the odds are I will find another one. Family, friends, spouses and children are harder to come by, and much much harder to replace.
Old me
But I'm sure you miss your old life with no responsibilities to worry about, no?!
New me
I’d lie if I say no, but look at what I have now! I’m extremely grateful for what I have. My goals are framed. I'm teaching other human beings ‘life’ and beyond. I'm coaching them to become successful and achievers. My future has never been filled with so many plans, and I am focused on getting that done every single day. Even my fears in life are now channelled to fuel their spirits and passion. What more can I ask for?
Old me
OK.. now what..
New me
All I have to say to you is don’t let failure hold you back. There will be times ahead that you will fall and make mistakes, but with the strength in your heart, you will get up in no time and do the right thing, because your family needs you. Your children need you. You will succeed and you will excel.
My kid
I POOPED :P
New me
Time to go now..
