Bismillah.
It’s been a while….
Recently I’ve been having a lot of conversations about, building communities and putting yourself in position to give your future the best opportunity to prosper. So it got me to thinking about my own future and the possibility of having a family. And I came to the conclusion that, I’m slowly being placed in position to bring this into existence. I equate this experience to me gaining knowledge of self, as well as becoming more spiritually aware. Everything from my day to day thoughts to my mindset have totally changed directions. On top of a change in thought pattern, I’ve noticed the people I have around me have changed. More family oriented people versus more of the “for the moment” type of person. It felt weird as hell at first but I’m at a point where I’ve fully embraced it. Because at the end of the day, we should want that for ourselves anyway. But I think it takes some of us a little longer to fully understand it. And the more I think about it, the more dope it sounds. I think the illest part is, being able to pass down the knowledge that you’ve gained thus far to the next generation. And eventually learning about their world and how they see it.
One question I’m constantly asked is, “How come you don’t have any kids?”. I use to legit feel bad when people would ask me this. Mainly because I felt like there was something wrong with me or that I wasn’t good enough for it happen for me. But once I really started to understand how the universe worked and how things are ordered. The universe isn’t going to gift anything you aren’t ready for. Which brings me back what I was saying originally. If I’m not prepared for it, it won’t come. Now at the same time children can come into your life in various ways not necessarily biologically. And being someone who was raised around and pretty much by step parents, it’s not something I’d frown upon. For me the biggest thing I think I’d get from it is, the chance to be a direct inspiration to someone who could potentially change humanity. Like literally be able to plant and water the seed that changes the world. As you can probably tell, this is something I’ve become increasingly more passionate about recently.
It seems like this sudden passion came from recent events and noticing that a lot of my people don’t have knowledge of self. Me included at one point, I was raised by a generation that wasn’t really into having knowledge of self. Instead it was more about fitting in and just staying out of trouble. So, I learned about myself as an African(I’m dropping the American part) and my heritage later in life. My theory is, the sooner you learn who you are the easier life becomes to an extent. You’re able to navigate through certain situations that otherwise would trip someone else up. Plus it’s also said, that someone can’t fully come into their calling, until they know who they are and where they come from. So, with that being do your due diligence and gain knowledge of self for yourself…this way you give your children a head start on coming into their own.
Remind them daily, they’re Gods and Goddesses!!
Asalaamu Alaykum.
