076: Appreciating Your Family
SHOW DESCRIPTION
When we are a kid, we are so embarrassed by our “weird” family, that we pretend we don’t know them when we are at the mall, or we constantly apologize for them when our friends are over. Friends are defiantly more important than family.
As we grow older, and our friends come and go, we realize that being friends forever was a phrase that rarely came true. Our family though, through thick and thin, was always there.
All those weird things that used to embarrass us, are now the traditions we look forward to. We realize the true value of family when something unfortunate happens. The unconditional love and support we see open our eyes, and we see the love that has always been there.
In this episode, we share the 4 positive characteristics of a family:
- Celebrate your happiness: Friends are there to congratulate you, but family is there to celebrate you.
- Help you grow: From crawling to walking, diapers to toilet, and right from wrong, they are there to help you grow from an infant to an adult.
- In it for the long haul: As painful as it is to hear, friends come and grow. In fact, only about 2% of all the people that you meet in school do you ever end up being lifelong friends with. But your family won’t give up on you.
- Develop your programs (characteristics): Good or bad, right or wrong, all those strange things that you do, the thoughts that you have about money and life, you learned 97% of it from your family.
Also, Amit and Rohit share how their family dynamic has changed since both of their mothers have passed. This is a powerful episode that will make you want to call your family, and just say, “I love you, and thanks for putting up with me.”
