Daughters are so special. Post 3
Hello dear friend :)
This is my third post in this blog marathon. Those of you who are here because of my Instagram post do hit subscribe that you see on top of this page, and you will receive my posts in your inbox.
Writing this like a letter, feels very nice. It is as though I am pulling up a chair, sitting down in front of you and having a chat with you. I read all your comments in my last two posts, and I have replied too! I think that is the nice part about blogging--that we can connect one-on-one, through our words.
A picture of my daughter and me, in Singapore.
Today, I went out with my daughter, and we had an amazing time.When she and I go out, I always drive my car and she plays her choice of music. It's a girls trip, and we cherish this time that we spend together. (you can see stories of our day on my Instagram handle)
I come from a family and background, where women never worked or drove a car. My mother has never worked, neither had my grandmother nor had my great-grandmother. None of my aunts-- either on my mother's side or my father's side---are employed. None of them can drive. I am the in the first generation of women in my family to work and earn and drive. My background is very humble and very middle class. I was educated in Government schools (Kendriya Vidyalayas).
My father taught me to drive in an Ambassador car when I was sixteen! I love to drive, and have now been driving for over three decades. I have never had an accident. Touchwood.
Today, as we were driving back, I asked my daughter 'How does it feel to have a mother who drives a car?'
She said 'I guess I am used to it. I have always seen you drive!'
When I was growing up, I did not have any woman role model. I knew that I wanted to be financially independent and I also knew that I did not want the life that my mothers and my aunts led.
Today I am happy, that my daughter grows up seeing a very different scenario from what I did. I am happy to be where I am today. It hasn't come easy! I have worked hard for it.
I always tell people 'If you can dream it, you can achieve it.' I believe greatly in hard work, and the power of manifestation through positive thinking.
Work hard. Believe in your dreams.
And in case they do not come true, trust me, the universe has a different path--an even better path for you!
Another post tomorrow.
Leave me a comment, so I know I am not talking to myself, and that you are in the chair opposite me :)
Love
Preeti
