Simply Marvelous And Right on Time
This is truly a great time to reclaim our relationship with our children. We hear people say that children are our future. I believe that children are their future… while being our present, and what we say and do with them today is what’s really important. When we surrender them to the media and negativity, we set them up to fulfill a prophecy of failure. When we tell a young boy he’s gonna be just like his no good daddy… we plant a seed. When we tell a young girl she’s so damn fast and is gonna grow up to be a tramp with that attitude… we plant a seed.
When we tell a young boy that he’s smart and handsome… we plant a seed. When we tell a young girl she’s smart and pretty… we plant a seed. Take notice that intelligence comes first.
Additionally, when we see little girls and tell them how we wish them to grow up to be sweet young ladies, what we must also be mindful of is telling them how smart they are and wish them to grow up to be happy.
If you haven’t told the little girls in your life how to enjoy life, other people will… and their formula may not be the best. Remind little girls (and boys) to be smart... and you will surely S.H.I.N.E.
Along with those words, we also have to live how we're telling them to live. It is challenging, but very necessary.
