Looking at the me I'm becoming, I just want to keep being grateful to God for giving me the family that brought me to this world. I remember there were times when I wished I was born into a different family because of some challenges but then time and time again I've come to just be grateful. In all my years of living, I've come to realize that I've learnt quite some few things from my parents and they are building me up into who I'm becoming.
I didn't get the privilege to live with my both parents while growing up but then I was still very lucky to have gotten some of their amazing traits. I call them amazing traits because the blend of both traits in me produced an amazing trait in myself. I've never really thought of what traits I got from my parents until now and I'm really impressed.
Despite the fact that we didn't live together as a family, I was still fortunate enough to get some of the good traits from them. But I did get more of the traits from my dad because he was the one I lived with for most part of my life. For my Mom, I got a few things from her but for the sake of this writeup, I'd be focusing more on one trait each from both my mom and my dad.
From my dad, I got the trait of always trying to make everyone around me happy. And from my mom, I got the trait of being industrious.
My dad is someone that you just can't hate him, he's super jovial and he easily vibes with everyone and anyone around him. He doesn't miss the slightest opportunity to make those around him laugh and be happy. Even though he was not financially stable, he always made sure to be reason why someone wants to just be happy anyways. I got this from him and it has helped me in so many ways.
Due to that trait I got from my dad, I can live with almost anybody as long as I want to. I know how to adjust easily to whatever situation I find myself in. Once it comes to relating with people, I always love to believe that I can do my best to relate well with them. Because of this one trait, I've made more friends than enemies and that's something I'd forever be grateful to God for.
My mom is one person that always believes that she can do anything as long as she wants to and I totally got that from her. I love trying out things and finding solutions to every problem no matter how hard it is. Now I get to assist my family in my own little way thanks to how industrious I am. Not really so industrious though but I think it is just right and it's all thanks to my mom's trait in me.
And these traits are traits that I'd definitely love to pass on to my children if God wills because they are traits that made me who I am today. Living in peace with everyone around us is something that we all need but it's not easy to achieve it and I believe if my children can have that trait of being able to adapt to whatever comes, then life will be a lot easier for them. And likewise, if they can be more industrious, then I won't have to worry too much about them because I know they can always sort themselves out even without me.
