Among the many duties and challenges in a mom’s life, it can be hard to find time for “personal growth.” However, spiritual health and direction is absolutely necessary for fulfilling one of our role’s most important requirements – teaching our children how to live a Baha’i life.
As mothers, we are the first educators of our children. Therefore, when it comes to teaching goodly and virtuous behavior, this means that we actually have to sincerely work on modeling such a character ourselves. Prayer and meditation, daily reflection on the Writings, and keeping ourselves focused set the foundation for this.
Posts under Personal Growth are broken down into these subcategories:
From saying the Obligatory Prayer to trying musical prayers as a family, explore prayer and meditation during motherhood in this category.
Discovering your spiritual identity, finding time for spiritual self-care, and elevating conversation with friends are a few of the subjects discussed here.
This category is the place to get inspiration for the Fast, thoughts on self-awareness and more.
Whoso ariseth among you to teach the Cause of his Lord, let him, before all else, teach his own self, that his speech may attract the hearts of them that hear him. Unless he teacheth his own self, the words of his mouth will not influence the heart of the seeker. Take heed, O people, lest ye be of them that give good counsel to others but forget to follow it themselves.
(Baha’u’llah, Gleanings from the Writings of Baha’u’llah, p. 276)
