Moms and Dads, I know sometimes we question ourselves, are we being the best parent we could be? Did we make the right decision? Are we reacting the way we should with our children when they do something wrong. How about, when they do something right? How does the reward impact their thinking? Raising children is a gift and it is a big job, how we teach them and raise them will impact their lives. I believe children are born who they are but I also believe that they are shaped by their parents, role models and their environments. It is up to us to guide them the best way we can.
In a recent conversation I had about work, an interesting topic came up around how our actions are established by LOVE or FEAR? The correlation of doing things with LOVE or with FEAR made me think of life in general, it can apply to EVERYTHING, it applies to how we were raised and how we act based on that, our environments, our jobs and our passions and how we do things because of this, it applies to our relationships and our families and our life in LOVE or in FEAR.
After the conversation, in particular I thought about my children and how sometimes I unconsciously instill FEAR for small things that perhaps I should just should instill LOVE, DIRECTION and FAITH that they will do great. Believe that they can do it and overcome whatever it is that is in front of them. I wanted to share this because it is so important, how we do things affects everything; our life, our children, our family, our jobs and our motivation.
Sometimes you just have to PAUSE and ACT in the name of LOVE and put FEAR to the side, we mainly project what we think. Our little leaders need NO FEAR they just need LOVE and DIRECTION and the rest will be what it will be.
