I was reading various entries for this contest on who is the most inspirational person in your life, so far so good 80% of the prompts written has Mother as their most inspirational person or a particular family member be it an elder sister, husband, brother and son. This goes to show that family is very essential when it comes to navigating through Life, don't get me wrong family can be Blood related and friends who has more value than what families can offer. In other words, my parents are the most inspirational people in my life because of the experience and knowledge I have gained by growing with them.
For people that experienced the love of family will definitely choose their father and mother as inspirational vessels in their live. For me, all I have become so far is due to their love, care, support, encouragement, and the discipline they instilled in me. While growing up there are a lot I learned from both my Dad and Mom based on religious aspect, career wise, discipline, financial experience and so many more.
Sometimes with what we see on the internet of how people behave rashly just to earn money online, I would look at myself and wonder the kind of discipline I received that would never make me partake in such acts just to make money and these includes nudity, fake life, fighting over men, bbl, body shaming and so on.
My dad is someone I look up to because although he is strict but also someone that does not like trouble. This is why he is always taking family matters seriously and does not joke with them. Growing up I saw how he took care of the bills immediately he received his pay, he would sort out our school fees on time, buy foodstuffs in bulk that would last us, pay for the electricity bill, gas bill and so on. He was so prudent in spending and I learnt from him.
One thing I have realised is that when I become a parent I would try to do more in actions than in words because our kids these days sees everything we do and they tend to copy it. So when a mother and father are always cursing and fighting at themselves and think the children are oblivious of it, they are well aware and using what they see and hear against their peers. When a parent is smart and decent in their dressing, are financially prudent, minds their businesses, takes career seriously, the kids would learn a thing or two.
My mum as well, asides from how she puts the family first, I love the way she always carries herself when she dresses for work, church or any occasion, she is always smart and decent. I guess this is why I feel no matter how small you dress might seem, the ability to combine it properly would even be better than someone wearing an expensive dress. The way you dress is definitely how you will be addressed be it a formal or an informal gathering.
In conclusion, these are few of the reasons why my parents are the most inspiring people in my life.
