Parenting – Being a role model
Good or Bad
Today as I sat on the rocks, at Short Point Merimbula, pondering about life and death I asked myself “what was I really doing with my life?”
You see, last night we got a message from home (Melbourne) that my Uncle Noel had passed away. He was a wonderful kind and gentle man who had been a part of my life for 40 years and he had lived a great life. So, as I sat there I couldn’t help but wonder about where I would be when I was in my eighties (I have no doubt that I will make it to 100).
I know where I want to be and what I want to be doing but what am I actually doing about it NOW?
I have made some big changes in my life over the past few years, some positive and some negative and I have an extremely postive outlook, but I have come to the realisation that I am a bit of a ‘Gunna-might’.
Gunna do this! -Might do that!
Although I have huge dreams and aspirations and totally believe that every will work out fantastic I seem to say a lot of things but never really take action. I get annoyed with my two children (Maddi & Riley) when they do the same thing but today it really struck me that I was their biggest role model. They are learning from me everyday and when I get annoyed with them it’s really myself that I am annoyed with.
I am very good at wasting time and looking busy and also letting fear get in my way. So today I made a promise to myself that I am going to take massive action everyday to ensure that I am extremely successful, a fantastic role model for my children and that I am able to leave a legacy when I die. I have so much knowledge and potential and I am letting self sabotage get in my way.
The Time Is Now
Everyday I now choose to take the necessary action to create the happy, successful life that I desire and to be an awesome role model to my children. I will share my knowledge and expertise with the world and give enormous value.
Are you creating the ideal life that you truly desire or are you too self sabotaging and teaching your children bad habits?
I would love to hear from you.
