Sometimes Life Takes Our Wings

Even if we have lost the innocence and illusion of our childhood, our wings grow anew with every new project and help us to be free again.

We all have wings when we are born. The eyes of children and a heart full of illusions create innumerable dreams in the mind, wishes that one would like to fulfill as an adult.

Whether you can actually implement this or not depends on many things: your own behavior, strength and motivation, support and a pinch of luck, plus a social context and outside help.

We know it is not easy. Coming into the world with wings and keeping them for a lifetime is a difficult endeavor, because with every disappointment, every stone in the way and every betrayal, we lose feathers.

And with it the encouragement that gave us strength to make our dreams come true.

It should not be forgotten  that children should never lose their wings .  Childhood should be a wonderful phase of life in which you can believe that everything you want to achieve is really possible.

Today we invite you to think about it with us.

To be born with wings to achieve our goals

A child’s brain has an extraordinary gift that should be nurtured during childhood and adolescence.

The power of learning, neuroplasticity, a stage of life that should be promoted as best as possible in order to give the children roots and at the same time enable them to use their wings to fly.

One often hears that the families themselves and also the educational system take the wings off the children.

Let’s take a closer look at this problem.

Families who encourage dreams and families who make them impossible

You have probably heard of a democratic upbringing that is opposed to a dictatorial one.

There are two different styles of parenting. In which children are taught a number of values ​​that can affect their later development in adulthood.

• Democratic families respect children’s dreams and affective needs.
• They offer them roots, the security that is based on respect and opens doors to make wishes come true – always with the help of an adult, of course.
• Families clipping their children’s wings already have a  life plan for their children. To which they have to be forced to adapt in order to fit into the pattern of adults.

Thoughts, personality and the need to enjoy childhood are not taken into account. Children’s wings are torn off at a young age. Their dreams are dismissed as “nonsense” and the children are trained towards specific goals.

Those who were restricted in their dreams in childhood and adolescence often feel unable to achieve goals and desires as adults.

Find the lost wings again

The wings are not suddenly lost. After a complicated childhood and adolescence, there are always new opportunities to trust in yourself and become happy.

• The wings grow again when new illusions arise. With every safe step in which you remember that you deserve better.
• In order to heal the injured wings in order to be able to start the daily flight, you must first be aware of whether the people around you are taking or giving your breath.

• A complicated affective relationship, a family that continues to control you or your friends, that is more focused on your interests than your general wellbeing, destroys your self-esteem.
• Put yourself in the foreground. Every day, convince yourself  that the effort will be worth it to achieve what makes you happy.
• If loved ones are pulling out springs of personal growth, consider whether or not this situation is worthwhile. Maybe it’s time to make a decision.

Find wings again

Perhaps you should remind yourself of something very important. Sometimes it is necessary  to fly to regain the wings,  and this flight must be done by everyone alone.

• By flight, we mean that it is time to change something: the environment, people or even your own attitude.
• As soon as you take this step and changes come into your life, you will feel more free, without toxic loads hanging like stones on your shoes.
• The inner well-being is so pleasant and invigorating that you can regain your wings almost without even realizing it.

The wings with which you can fly and make your dreams come true.
