We all want a great life, but once we get children or they are on their way everything changes. Instead of going for your carreer, financial goals and others you start focussing on your children. Rightfully so, you are bringing someone in this world that you love like nothing you have before and you try to set the path free for them to reach anything they want.
Firstly look at the goals you always wanted to complete yourself but haven’t been able to obtain due to circumstances or lack of support. Give your child the support it need and show that you believe in them to obtain everything that they set themselves to achieve. This goes from finishing that race, succeeding on that exam to achieving a great standard in their carreer.
Behind every young child who believes in himself is a parent who believed first. – Matthew Jacobson
Having goals and achieving is great, however the feeling when your children do it and make you proud gets you even more enjoyment. Your children are rarely listening to the advice you are giving them. So the best way to teach them is by living as an example. Show them how they can crush their objectives. Maybe even more important tell or show them how you didn’t succeed into reaching your own goals. Prove to them that setting limations on yourself is useless. You can only achieve great things if you believe in yourself no matter how difficult it will be.
Are you not a parent, but have a child that looks up to you? Maybe you are a teacher, an aunt, or even a brother or sister. When you have someone that looks up to you, you can share your passion and show how success can be obtained. You can help them out and shine a bright light towards the route they can follow to succeed in life. No matter if you are their parent or anything else to the child allow them to see your flaws and how they can improve to become better.
