You Chose Your Parents

At the moment we decide to be born into this life, we choose – yes, choose – who our parents will be. This is a concept that resonates with some, and seems totally ridiculous to others, but it benefits us to consider it as a possibility for a number of reasons.
Whatever problems we feel have happened through the intervention of our parents, the reality is that there’s not a soul among us who can say that our strength and character did not come, at least in some part, from our experiences with them. We need them to guide us though this maze of human existence, to learn and grow through the lessons we’ve chosen to study while in this life. We all have some unpleasant memories of our parents. It is because we are all human. Yes, even them! When we resent them or blame them for our lives, what we are doing is deciding that we are too weak to develop our own characters, doing the best we can by utilizing the information we’ve been given – the information we chose to use. This attitude taints the spirit, and attracts negative energy into every aspect of your life. You were born to your particular parents for a reason; you have inherited a collection of genes from them, but that’s it. Biologically, you have inherited their genes, but your spirit is completely yours. You are not them. To believe this is to suggest that you are not a person of completeness or free will. This is not the intention of the Universe.
For those of us who had a wonderful relationship with our parents, the blessings are obvious, and the reality is that we decided that family turmoil was not a lesson we needed to learn from in this life. Therefore our parents were chosen to guide us through other adventures toward our spiritual growth.

I always tell my clients that they not only chose their parents and family of origin, they have also chosen their name and birth date. From the perspective of numerology, everything about you is in the spelling of your name and your birth date and your soul chose your name because it knew who it needed to be, and what it needed to do in this lifetime. That name is channeled through the parents. In many instances there is a connection made quite early in the pregnancy, and in other cases the connection is not made until the moment of birth which brings about the situation in which the parents have chosen a name for the child and at the moment of being asked what that name might be, they provide a different one.
Thank you for posting this great article. I am also convinced we all need to exercise more our “responsibility muscles” in regards to many other aspects of our lives. We always have a choice, in all matters. It is our own perception that truly “shapes” our reality. And the perception is highly influenced by the system of beliefs and feelings we choose to harbor in ourselves daily. And for those who need to have “tangible proof” before considering new ideas, there is a movie and a movement (www.thehappymovie.com) that outlines new research in this direction, done by highly regarded psychologists and neuroscientists.
There are no things that just happen to us; we always have a chosen input in all that makes up our reality. And we are starting to understand that the weight that our input bares is actually so much more than we initially thought. It actually is liberating to know and understand this!
