Are You Relevant?

Many of us talk the talk but thats where it ends. We go around speaking truth but are we exercise what we are preaching.

I recently was witness to a child whose mother is literally a community mentor admit that her mom was only nice to the public but in the house, the woman was a nightmare.

The children love having visitors around because that's the only time their mom speaks kindly to them or treats them nicely.

This got me thinking about parental sense of entitlement and it's impact on the society at large. As a parent, you expect ro bw favoured by tpur children but have you earned that right or you simply feel entitled because society would support your expectations.

The right to sit in the front seat of the car

The right to be rude to your children

The right to get served more than half of a dish that is meant for the family

The right to interrupt your child's relaxation activities

Are this truly your rights or a perception of rights?

What would happen of your child decides to ignore your asauned right or even transfer it ro someone like thwir spouse or children?

Most women do not appreciate thw effect of their speech and actions on society. Raising children who cannot express themselves emotionally from omw generation to another is one reason we have pur current dysfunction in governance and places of authority.

Those leaders were once children and instead of addressing theor traumas, drom generation to generation, it jaa become normalised almost becoming an unwritten rule of parenting.

As we celebrate women this month, let us re evaluate our roles from a leadership point of view, as leaders pf our our homes, schools, workplaces and society.

How many of us can truly still criticise our leaders knowing that we are probably raising more dysfunctional personalities except qe start changing the narrative and lifting the vulnerable around us.

We can do it, using woman power to remove assumed beliefs and perception to break through bottlenecks and letting everyone soar to a better tomorrow.

The world needs is now, so make sure you stay relevant!
