šŸŒ•It’s important to understand that conveying an idea or concept is not just about retelling words. Perception and understanding have profound significance. When I describe my family, it’s not just words—it’s part of my inner world and perception. Each person interprets information in their own way, based on their unique experience and worldview.

When I speak of my family, I include not only my blood relatives but also the close people with whom I’ve established deep connections. My family is my wife, children, mother, sister, my wife’s relatives, certain friends, and people dear to me. However, the concept of ā€œfamilyā€ for me is not limited solely to blood ties. It encompasses all those who are close to me spiritually and emotionally.

My upbringing undoubtedly influenced the formation of my character, but it’s important to understand that this influence is complex and not straightforward.Ā Every aspect of my upbringing—my relationships with my parents, interactions with teachers and friends, playing in the yard—all shaped me as a person. For example, my childhood fear of being alone in the house, despite external safety and comfort, played a significant role in my perception of the world and myself, just like many other circumstances and situations.

When it comes to family upbringing, it’s a question that cannot be answered definitively. Everything I bring into my family is the sum total of countless aspects, both positive and negative. The way I interact with my children differs significantly from how my parents interacted with me. I have a good relationship with my parents, but there are also unresolved issues that add depth to my perception of family.

The upbringing I received undoubtedly influenced my life decisions, but you can’t single out one specific event or moment that determined everything. For instance, my fear of being alone at home as a child played its part in my development. But that’s just one of a thousand things that had an impact.

For me, family is not just close relatives; it’s also those who are spiritually close to me.Ā This can include friends with whom I share a deep bond. I may not consider some relatives part of my family, while viewing someone else, bonded through the soul, as family.

One of the important concepts in my worldview is the uniqueness of each individual. We all differ greatly, and it’s necessary to acknowledge and respect that uniqueness.Ā This is not egoism, but an acknowledgment of one’s individuality. Comparing people in terms of spiritual development is meaningless; in the spiritual world, there’s no concept of ā€œbetterā€ or ā€œworse.ā€

In interacting with my children, I don’t seek to impose my perspectives on life. My wife and I don’t discuss what our children should become. For us, it’s not about worrying who they will turn into, but rather about giving them the freedom to choose and develop on their own.

Overall, my perspective on upbringing and education doesn’t focus on clear directives. I believe what’s important is not so much a specific direction but a general understanding of one’s own life and the freedom of choice. This is neither a good nor a bad approach—just my view on upbringing and education at the moment.

Each decision I make in life is a result of thoughtful choice, based on the current situation and the individual involved.Ā I have four completely different children, each with their own unique perceptions and needs. My communication and interaction with each of them vary, and I try to factor in their individuality when making decisions.

šŸŒ•How do I maintain a balance between family life and career? For me, there is no separation between these aspects of life. I see my life as a whole, where I, as a spiritual being, live in accordance with the laws of the universe and my personal values. This creates a stable internal foundation upon which I build my interactions with both my family and in my professional sphere.

For me, a feeling of inner freedom in all aspects of life is important.Ā I am free in making decisions, I recognize my responsibility, and I pay attention to the quality of time spent with family and at work. This freedom allows me to find harmony and effectively cope with various life challenges.

In conclusion, each person is unique, and acknowledging this helps me shape relationships both within my family and in the professional arena. Respecting individuality and engaging in conscious interaction are keys to a harmonious life.

In my family, there are no specific rules or parameters that guarantee strong relationships.Ā It all comes down to each of our inner worlds, our connection with ourselves, and living according to the laws of the universe. My relationships with my wife and children rest on this deep spiritual connection, and it’s not always possible to explain it through concrete actions or words.

My wife, for example, never took any special parenting training, yet her innate sense of motherhood and natural interaction with the children is what makes our family whole. We don’t discuss what our children will become or what education they should have. Our connection and communication transcend ordinary social expectations and norms.

The secret to our long and strong relationships lies not in external factors, but in a profound spiritual understanding and perception of one another. We are different, but these differences form the foundation of our strong union.Ā I understand that you cannot and should not try to change another person; the best thing we can do is work on ourselves.

It’s important to realize that each person is unique, and this must be taken into account in relationships. I value and respect each individual’s uniqueness, and that helps me maintain harmony and understanding with all family members.

When it comes to building strong family relationships or achieving harmony in life, the key is to have no expectations. This means acknowledging and respecting that your partner is evolving in their own unique way, and being prepared to accept their changes. You must be ready for your perceptions of your partner to shift, and that’s normal.Ā Having no expectations does not mean having no desires or goals, but rather understanding that your partner may follow their own path, which could differ from yours.

The second important aspect is honesty with oneself. Understanding your own path of development and refraining from creating unrealistic self-expectations helps build harmonious relationships. The main task in a partnership is to be willing to listen and understand the other person, even if their actions or opinions differ from your own.

It’s also important to recognize that even by following these principles, relationships may end, and that does not mean they failed.Ā It’s important to understand that relationships are a process where readiness for change and adaptation matters, rather than the pursuit of constant harmony or happiness. Building relationships without expectations allows both partners to grow and maintain authenticity and genuineness in their feelings and actions.
