The privilege of bringing children into the world carries with it the responsibility of teaching them the fundamentals of sound character.
One of life’s greatest joy is the sense of wonder that accompanies the arrival of a tiny new human being into the world.
But this joy is accompanied with a tremendous responsibility that perfectly covers the need of personal initiative.
You can provide children with all the physical advantages of a good childhood, but unless you strive to set a good example to follow, you’ll know only dismay as they reach adulthood and blossom into purposeless drifters.
Your personal initiative, whatever or not you are raising a child, must always incorporate exemplary behaviour.
You can not take ethical shortcuts, big or small, without other people observing them and assuming that this kind of behaviour is something you wouldn’t mind having turned back on yourself.
Certainly you will make mistakes, like everyone else, but if you have always striven for the best course, others will remember it and treat you accordingly.
This message is very important one for me. Now having a 16 months old I have to remember every day that she is watching, observing and copying all the things I do or say. It is the most important part of patenting that showing good example and it’s never ‘finished’ process.
Think about what you’d want for your children to be.. I guess what you couldn’t be..
Then create an environment for them to be able to blossom.
Peace&Love
