Parenting?

I’ve been told.. …that the priority for parenting is creating memories for your kids…pretty good idea. I’ve always said, My job is not to be a good parent, but to raise a good child. In either case, once you have children, you no longer work for yourself. – Dr. Vik, The Culture King

Occasionally…

It’s OK…not to deal with unpleasant thoughts, people or things. They can be a real distraction. It’s not that we always must avoid challenges or confrontations.

We tend to get distracted with everything that is going on, and sometimes our energy and focus goes in the same direction…upon everything. What we really need to do is, occasionally call a time out, and see if our focus is on what really matters, or we get stuck on what really doesn’t. Yours in… Read more »

Some People Would Complain…
