Am I Indispensable?

 Am I Indispensible?

I met with an accident. Got hit by a racing car which tried to jump the red signal.
Resulting in a Cast on my leg for 1 month.
My kids were small, and majority of housework especially cooking was done by me.
Left me perplexed and anxious.
How will things work out daily because of my inability to perform  household chores?

Initial 2 days,I agree,were difficult and disorganized.

But ,I saw the house and kids being managed with help of my parents a few days,helpers employed after they left.
My husband and kids learnt to manage everything without my help.

Before my accident, I felt everyone was dependent completely on me.

But I was in such an illusion.
Lesson learnt.
I am not Indispensable.
A neighbor lost her husband. She was not well educated to secure a job after his death.2 small children to be cared.House to be run.Old parents too dependent.
Everyone wondered,how things will work as her late husband was the sole earning person. Everyone else was dependent on him.
Initially, there were difficulties.
But the lady got things moving and somehow managed to run the household and care of kids as well as old parents.

Nobody is Indispensable.

Many times,we feel that after we leave, everything will collapse or disintegrate.
That's just an illusion.
We maybe an asset.As long as we are there,many tend to be dependent upon us.

But,once we cease to be part of the system,......
Dependent persons and place around does learn to work things out. Changes get made.Adjustments done..
System starts working.....even in our absence.

Am I Indispensable?
No,even if you are / were an asset.
Life went on before I was in the system.
Life will go on after I am no longer in the system.
