Conversation with My Hair Stylist

Had an interesting conversation with my hair stylist. Something I wasn't expecting.

He talked about positive energy and how to manage our thinking which in turn will have an impact on our reaction to the happenings around us. He is not talking about any religion but just being self aware of our thoughts and how they will translate to behaviour that will influence our children. Somehow he sort of believes the way we think is hereditary, meaning when our kids reach the stage we were in, they will fall back to the same emotions we had before. It could mean having the same fears or depressions (being rebellious during teenage years) or it could go the other way of being courageous and optimistic. I think to put it simply is, kids see our behaviours, learning what can be done. They might not have seen us at our teenage years but the vibes they get from us will influence their behaviours at their teenage years.

He also reminded me of one thing, that do not live up to others expectations but just be true to ourselves. Be myself. I will be happier. He shared this when he was talking about his entrepreneurship. The perseverance could also be labelled as stubbornness. He definitely had doubts, unsure if he was persevering for the right reason. But I guess he pressed on for his passion and probably a vision he had.

Refreshing chat yet something to reflect on.
