It all starts with awareness

The Facilitators' Project

We were descending a flight of steps with a kiddo at one of the train stations when he shared his sentiments.


"So many steps, makes me angry."


"Hmm, it can get quite frustrating and tiring."


"Yes, very angry."


"Nothing wrong in feeling angry. May I just ask if you would like to continue feeling angry at the stairs for much longer?"


"No."


"Do you know anyone who gets angry easily?"


He didn't answer. Kids naturally want to protect the people they love.


I tried to hint with some sensitivity.


"Do you want to be like the angry person you know?"


"No."


"Alright :)"


In so many ways, we may not wish to be like our parents.


However, a lot are learnt through observation and imprinted within us.


It takes a lot to undo what we've absorbed.


It all starts with awareness.


What did you inherit that you no longer want?

PS This photo of rainbow steps is captured some time back at Batu Caves, a serene temple in an amazing natural setting. Definitely not angry there! :)
