We as parents are the primary influence on our children. Formal education and Life can teach many things but the power of teaching by example is the true foundation. A life lived with integrity rewards you with SELF-RESPECT. Each time we disregard what is right, we diminish ourselves.
“Live your life in the manner that you would like your children to live theirs”.
It is human nature to point out the wrong in others and therefore feel better about ourselves. If you want to be respected, you must first respect yourself. Self-respect is the fruit of discipline, the sense of dignity grows with the ability to say no, when you know what is right and what is wrong and behave accordingly.
Mahatma Ghandi said: In matters of style, swim with the current, in matter of principle, stand like a rock.
Currently there is an URGENCY for CHANGE. We know that all is not well – politically, economically and as individuals we are all suffering the consequences. Change will not fall out of the sky. We all need to contribute towards change. If we all light one candle and do what is right, we contribute towards adding LIGHT. It starts with us. Be the Change you want to see in the world – take responsibility for your part in your unhappiness – find out what is within your control to change.
Integrity is the seed of self-respect – be the person you would have wanted to have as a parent - face what you need to in order to feel happy to be alive.
Seeking help is not a weakness. It takes courage and strength of character to face yourself, let go of the past and choose to be happy.
