In our society, we tend to put a very high value on striving.
And it’s baked into the system.
When we get to the end of kindergarten, we celebrate with a ‘moving up’ ceremony.
And every year, as the grade numbers get higher and higher, we’re constantly preparing for the next phase:
The career.
The spouse.
The home.
The family.
The bigger home.
The better job.
And it goes on and on until we look back on our lives and say: ‘How did my kids grow up so fast?’
There’s nothing wrong with having big goals and wanting these things for ourselves and our families.
But if we don’t balance our happiness now with our desire for the future, we miss out on so much.
Watch the video to learn how this mindset impacts the way we perceive the behavior of our kids. ❤️
