In its widest definition, family includes not only our parents but also our guardians and other relatives—those who have consistently supported and nurtured us throughout our lives. They are the rock solid foundations that we can rely on when things go tough.
Sadly, there are instances when we don't show our family the proper appreciation. Unknowingly, we could even treat them as though they are at our disposal, failing to recognise that they are a source of pride that should not be mistreated or taken advantage of. The support of your family is a priceless gift that cannot be purchased with money.
Just pause to think about people who put temporary friendships or romantic connections ahead of their own families. When you realise that your family is and always will be your source of unwavering love, this mistaken viewpoint can cause you to regret your actions later in life.
Supporting a family requires more than simply money. They require your presence, direction, and comfort. Being there for them when they need you most is more important than just giving them money. This is something I can personally connect to because, despite his own difficult circumstances, my careful father, a fisherman, has always been quick to assist me. His steadfast encouragement motivated me to put in a lot of effort and return the favour to the family that has always supported me.
It's important to understand that your family requires more than just financial support. Your time, understanding, and presence are just as important, if not more so. Regrettably, some people put the demands of others before those of their family, which can eventually cause difficulties and regrets.
Your family is more than simply a supporting cast in your life—they are the reason you were born. Take a moment to consider what life may be like if you were abandoned at birth or found yourself stranded as a young child. Just thinking about that should make you feel incredibly grateful for your family's constant support throughout your entire life.
In exchange, you have an obligation to make every effort to provide for your family. putting first your family is a fulfilling duty rather than a sacrifice. They have served as your pillar, your rock, and your source of affection and concern. No matter where life leads you, it is only fair to return the favour by making sure your family always comes first.
