No man can live happily who regards himself alone; who turns everything to his own advantage. You must live for others if you wish to live for yourself. – Seneca
Children often reflect their Parents, Workers their Bosses, and the Mentored their Mentors. That kind of responsibility sometimes scares me, but then again, it’s not about me. I have to remember: It’s always about someone else.
All my life, I always knew that I wanted to help someone else, to make a positive impact on someone else. Over the years, the choices I’ve made to pursue (or not pursue) certain areas/things have led to the realization (finally!!) of where my gifts and strengths are, and where they are not. I’ve made changes as a result of learning the following things:
- I enjoy relationships with people
- I find my purpose in helping others and helping them meet their needs
- I am happy to invest in others and their lives
- It is in the doing that one begins to be fulfilled
We have chosen to invest in transforming people and their lives – helping them work towards better marriages, become men and women of character and strength, raise kids who make good choices, leave incredible legacies for the future. We can do this through our business – we believe that if the financials are taken care of, and people are taught the How-To, then people can focus on what’s truly important.
Parents, do you want your kids to be just like you – to do what you do, act the way you act, speak the way you speak? Do you want your kids’ (future) spouse to treat your child the way you treat yours?
Workers, do you want to be just like your Bosses, and to have their lifestyle in the next 5 or more years? Do you want your kids to do what you do and to live the way you do today? Do you want them to become the person like your Boss in the future?
The Mentored, are you getting enough direction, positive and good, to see transformation in all areas of your life?
I can offer suggestions if you email me. Again, I’m not the answer, but I can point you in the right direction.
