For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. Something more to think about...
The statement means that in every interaction, there is a pair of forces acting on the two interacting objects. An 'object' in this case can be a person, of course. The size of the forces on the first object equals the size of the force on the second object. Forces always come in pairs - equal and opposite action-reaction force pairs. This law describes the relationship between the forces acting on a body and the motion of that body. They were first compiled by Sir Isaac Newton in his work Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica, first published on July 5, 1687.
So, other than the obvious, what does this mean to us? It may not seem like an equal reaction at the time, and most certainly it will be. I can think of so many examples where this law hit me hard, but never quite so important as in my role as a parent.
Here are a couple thoughts for today:
Why not choose a positive action? It is just as easy (okay, sometimes way more difficult) to be positive as it is to be negative. If your action or response is positive, the reaction will be positive as well. When my son was born, even though I thought I was already a pretty good person, I worked on learning to be the best parent I could. I read, listened and picked certain areas to really focus on myself. Every little action I took then, made a difference in his life. Parenthood is a huge thing, but the same goes true for other aspects of your life-or so it has for me.
**I prayed for strength
**I prayed for the ability to learn what I needed to
**I prayed for the guidance to be the best parent I could
**I forgave myself when I fell short
**I celebrated the successes

My son is a healthy, happy 22 year old now. I still try to be the best I can be. Afterall, I'll always be a Mom.
