Are you driven by a need to make your kids successful in life? Does helping them learn how to make a headway in life deeply interest you?
Any parent that says yes to these questions can be said to be living for his/her kids.
Diligently doing so will make you a successful parent in the long run.
Living for your kids is the key to giving them the support they need to succeed in llfe.
It means actively going out of your way to acquire useful information, education and experiences, that you can return to share with them, so they can get better.
If you’ve been reading my writing a while, you’ll know that I often mention the fact that I live for my kids.
Everything I’m doing today derives from my strong desire to coach my kids to do a better job of living as Independent adults.
Most of us know that the world we encountered after leaving school turned out to be different from what we expected.
And it was not just academically, but also in terms of how people in the world outside school (the real world) behave.
This cycle of “culture shock” needlessly experienced by young people inadequately prepared to succeed in larger society has persisted for years.
I’ve experienced the “culture shock” myself, and felt the pain – and humiliation – resulting from being unable to deal with it.
That’s why I resolved to always do my best to help others learn to intelligently adapt to unexpected situations they encounter in the real world.
The sight of my kids often boosts my determination to find solutions to such societal challenges.
Such efforts will help them learn how to handle themselves under such situations.
And that is very important to me as a parent.
If any of my kids demonstrates ineptitude in his/her attitude or interpersonal interactions, I would take it as a challenge to do more to help him/her improve.
That’s why I say I live for my kids. Their welfare – physical, emotional and psychological – matters greatly to me.
I want them to succeed in better ways than I am doing, or have done.
What about YOU?
Do you live for your kids?
If no, consider doing so from today, so you can succeed better as a parent.
