A newborn infant is born, begins holding its neck at 3 months, crawls at 6 to 8 months, and then begins to walk with help at 10 to 12 months. There is then no end to the baby's physical development, and I am not sure where it comes from. The same way that our surroundings and our parents feed our brains with information as it develops. Mental strength begins to develop when we begin to feel, cry out, and laugh while learning all the manifestations of life. Regardless of their economic situation, it is believed that each newborn kid who receives adequate stimulation may learn 20 languages between 0 and 5 years old and 30 million words. Just consider: Do we do anything specific to facilitate this progress, whether it be physical or mental? Do we identify our strengths and put them into action, or does it just happen? And what we do is feed this power with our greatest resources. Some parents make special efforts to help their children develop their strength, while for others it comes naturally. Do we only find our strengths as we begin to understand the environment around us?
Strength is an ongoing process, whether mental or physical. It is within us, but only our environment makes us feel strong enough to understand whether we have strength or not. There are parents who foster their kids' confidence, and there are other parents who are filled with doubt, anxiety, and questions, and their kids likewise develop in that way. We meet so many parents every day; they are so educated, but because of fear of whether the kids are taken care of or not, sometimes they just get lost. They don't know whether they have the inner strength to raise their kids or not, and as professionals, we need to help them discover their strength. Parents frequently claim that they will spend all of the money, but you should support the child in building strength. I often remind them that although a child only spends one hour in therapy with us, they spend the other 23 hours with their parents, and parents can only help them find their inner strengths.
I have read in one of my psychology books that those who are hardworking and competitive seek recognition and do multiple activities. Many times they function well and are alert, competent, and efficient, but when kept in stressful situations they cannot control themselves, they become hostile, impatient, anxious, or disorganized, while other people are easygoing, non-competitive, placid, and unflappable. Nice explanation: "They are like the tortoise in the tale of the tortoise and the hare." They are able to sustain themselves longer in any work they do. They are the real ones who believe in their own strength and only use it in the best possible manner when it is needed. Real workers are the ones who do their best if they get some result out of it, which feels like a bonus to live, and if they don't get results, they don't feel any loss as they believe at least they tried to do something, and that comes from discovering your own strength... haha... that's what I also believe. My strength is my writing.
While teachers teach their students, always observe their potential and try to work on it. If everyone had equal strength, everyone would have become a doctor, engineer, teacher, etc. We, as therapists who work on individuals with hearing impairments, mental challenges, autism, spastic disorders, or learning disabilities, also observe the kids and try to see what is good in them. If a child is good in math, language, or gross motor or fine motor skills, we try to enhance those skills to get faster results. To make a positive approach to life or to get satisfied and good results, the best formula is to discover an individual's strengths. In the corporate world, they also work on the SWAT formula, which says one should see what the best strength of the company is.
Recently, I met a person who says their life has been great; it has had a smooth path, but somewhere something is missing. I would say I have seen many people who have gone through difficult times, but having faith in God or doing prayers has helped them come out of difficult times very easily, so though I have never followed any rituals or spent time for prayers, I feel I should start doing it as it may work miracles for me in the future. Doing meditation or yoga and concentrating to connect with someone who is just there in whichever form doesn't matter, but just someone being there for you is the biggest discovery of strength in life. It doesn't matter if it's invisible or god-human! Your strength develops in multiple ways.
Recently, I also met a couple who say they believe in Krishna and follow Pushtimargiya dharma. The husband had a paralytic attack sometime ago. His balance in the body and his voice were affected. He also wears hearing aids. His listening was good. After seeing him, I suggested three months ago that he write every day and play the mouth organ to strengthen his speech muscles. Playing the mouth organ, his voice became absolutely normal, and when he wrote, he did not try, but his balance was still affected. The person was quite wealthy and had all the luxuries of life, but for his balance and walking, he needed support. Though his mental strength was good as well as his physical strength, his outer resources to get things in hand and have everything in life did not allow him to get back his strength. Sometimes we don't use our strength due to the help of external resources. Same thing we do nowadays.
With our children, we give them every amenity, we only show them an easy world or we teach them that only money works and that feelings have no value, we feed them and don't allow them to develop their physical skills or think for themselves, and parents even give them tutoring that provides them with pre-made answers. As a result, it's no wonder that soon, we'll see people as robots that only use electric or solar power. Individual strength or power will be worthless. Therefore let's take a moment to relax, reset, reconnect to our inner selves, and find our own strength as well as the strength of others so that our world can change more beautifully.
I Love this quote " You are given this life because you are strong enough to live it beautifully."
