Young Mother - The Journey to Freedom

Every young mother knows how the journey starts. It begins from bringing forth a rare gem from within. A being that is so beautiful and cuddling that makes a mother swell with love, tears and joy. A baby is wonderful and a blessing to humans.

Although she possesses something that is so precious, uncertainty lies in as to what will happen to herself and her treasure. She loves her baby and wants the best for him but mentally she knows that the task ahead is daunting and fear grips her but afterward love, a way to victory, sets in and then the journey to freedom begins.

Every Journey has obstacles set in its path and these obstacles are faced by the young mother. These obstacles are many but some of them include:

I. Financial Obstacles The young mother needs to sustain herself during the journey. She needs finance or what we call money as she has to sustain herself as well as her baby (her treasure). Her baby is going to grow during the journey and needs all the love and care he or she can get to grow into splendor. Moreover, the young mother has to think of ways to achieve this and it's not an easy task.

ii. Emotion Obstacle Man does not act on logic but emotion for we are emotional beings. As a young mother, her emotions are constantly in battle. She might realize as time goes on in the journey that she has to learn to control her emotion

For instance those she calls her friends might suddenly abandon her to thread this path alone and this might make her scared, lonely and disappointed. Furthermore, she might be supported by her parents with love and care but the reality soon dawns on her that only she is the captain.

She is aware that it takes hard hard work, diligence, perseverance and discipline to achieve the state of control.

Other obstacles come her way which she must face but one thing for sure is that she has to determine one thing and that's whether she will succeed or fail? She must answer the question for her sake and her child.

Many young mothers are on this journey, some have given up but others have achieved freedom.

For young mothers who are out there, I have but to tell you:

1. You can achieve anything if you believe in yourself and dream big.

2. Have mentors probably matured mothers who have gone through this journey to direct you so that you can be prepared mentally.

3. Have objectives and goals. This is very important for they let you know where you are going. Set objectives for yourself. I suggest you discuss with your parents or mentors to assist you in drafting your goals.

4. Read books on different areas of your life. You are on a journey and you need all the information you can get. Read books on finances, taking care of babies, health and everything that pertains to you. No one is too young to achieve success unless you think so. There are so many young people achieving tremendous success. 5. Read biographies on women who are great achievers like Hillary Clinton, Condoleezza Rice and a host of other women.

You can achieve freedom. It's all in your hands.
