Family is one of the most important values that we can have in our lives. It is the foundation upon which we build our relationships, our sense of self, and our place in the world. However, for many of us, our families can also be a source of stress and conflict.
Despite the challenges that we may face with our families, it is important to remember we cannot choose the family we were born into, but we can change the future of our family. This means honoring our parents by doing well in our lives, raising children who have good character, and building for them a better life than we had for ourselves.
One way to honor our parents is by doing well in our own lives. This means striving for success in our careers, being responsible and reliable, and making positive contributions to our communities. By doing well in our own lives, we are showing our parents that their sacrifices and hard work have paid off, and that we are grateful for all that they have done for us.
In coaching people, we have come to know that there is nothing, no government program or university course that helps society more than a strong family unit, parents and children who love and can rely on each other. If you haven’t been given that, it may seem difficult to create it for yourself, but the investments we make in ourselves, our family lives and our family members will always pay dividend.
