About this listen
Today, while coloring with my niece, I began outlining a monkey in brown—almost instinctively. She paused, looked at me, and said, “Big dadda, it’s your monkey. You don’t have to color it all brown. Use any color.”
That statement struck me hard.
How often do we live our lives coloring within lines drawn by others, bound by ideas that aren’t really rules—just norms we’ve silently accepted? I realized I was about to color that monkey “the right way” because somewhere along the way, I believed that was the only way. But the truth is - nothing is really set in stones.
And it’s my monkey.
My life.
My path.
My choices.
And sometimes, the most liberating thing we can do is allow ourselves to color it however we like—even if that means giving a monkey purple, red, green and orange fur. 😃#money #lesson #niece #coloringwithkids #LifeLessonsFromKids #UnlearnToGrow #MindfulParenting #ColorOutsideTheLines #AuthenticLiving #BigDaddaDiaries #InspiredByMyNiece #ParentingReflections #CreativeFreedom #LetThemTeachYou #breakthenorms #girldad #girl #girls #girldaddy
