Our characters are influenced each day by our thoughts, feelings and actions. In this section, we will focus on the ideas that help us to shape who we are.

Perspectives on Becoming

1. Patience is a virtue: how do you develop it during the daily difficult situations?

2. How do you avoid the trappings of want? Someone always has cuter clothes, a fancier house, newer cars, and things, things, things. How do you learn to be content with what you've been given?

3. How do you keep from feeling inferior around the “super moms” that seem to be everywhere? What makes them real? Do they struggle with anything?

4. What do you wish you had known as a teenager that would have prepared you for motherhood?

5. I would like to be perceived as an educated person, but I have not had some of the formal educational opportunities (e.g. graduate school) that would allow me to do this. Is it possible for the work I do as a SAHM to match a graduate level education? What would I need to do?
