Have you ever paused in the middle of the busy day just to think what all your family gives? If this be so, you should be grateful to your family. Here are seven reasons.
1. They Heave You in a Cozy House
Picture coming back home after a long tiresome day to a warm home full of love and care. That is what family is all about.
They create an area of comfort that will allow you to let your guard down and be yourself. Your family, be it biological or adopted, has brought you up, provided you with the skills you need for life and success and created the entire sanctuary you call home.
They have given you that favorite corner where you like to sit with a book wrapped in a warm blanket or that mug from which you like to sip your morning coffee.
2. They Love You Anyway
Life is a journey on a rollercoaster and full of joy and sorrow. We all stumble, sin, and suffer. But guess what? All your family loves you. They are your consolers, your cleaners, and your protectors.
They offer you a shelter where you can recover, learn and become a stronger person. Their love is unrestrained, unfaltering, and unlimited.
3. They Make You Happy and Joyful
Recall the family game nights, Sunday brunches, or even movie marathons during the COVID-19 lockdown? Such times of collective laughter, joy, and togetherness are priceless in the company of your family.
The family is the foundation of your happiness, the cure against melancholy and boredom, therefore they must be your top priority. They are the ones who transform ordinary life situations into wonderful memories.
4. They Are There for You No Matter What
Starting a new business, switching jobs, or even moving to a new city, the family is always there for you.
They are your followers, your supporters, and your friends. They trust in your dreams, support pushing your limits, and guide your path through the minefield of life. These are the ones who lift you up when you are down, who brush you off and who urge you to start all over again.
5. They Offer You Direction
At a crossroads, where you are not sure what way to choose, your family is your map. They teach, advice, and guide you to right decisions. They are your restraints that keep you in the past and that inspire you to do right.
They are your teachers, your idols, and your shining lights.
6. They Give You the Opportunity to Be Yourself
In a world where everyone often tries to fit in, your family lets you be yourself. They accept you just as you are.
These are the people who love your imperfection perfect. Around them, you can relax and be yourself.
7. They Help You Understand Yourself Better
They help you to find your strengths, improve your weaknesses and learn more about yourself. They give you the opportunities to discover yourself, to learn first of all about your own personal development, and to improve your character. They are the individuals who make you become a better version of yourself.
Your family sees you with eyes that no one else can see. They were there with you when you were winning and losing, when you made and lost it. They have seen you laugh, cry, get angry and be a nice person. They have seen you naked, with no facade.
This changed perspective lets them see your strong and weak sides, your likes and dislikes, your joys and concerns. And when they share these reflections with you, it helps you learn more about yourself. You see yourself in the eyes of another person, and that is most often a discovery.
