As a single parent it can be difficult to find a balance and harmony for kids, work, business, play. When the kids are with you all the time it can get over whelming but when they go away for a day or 2 you miss them. It is important to remember that our children come to this earth through us not for us and we have to also remember to take time for ourselves. What I am trying to say is that it is our job to teach guide and mold but respect and recognize who they are, we are raising adults, future leaders, mothers, fathers, husbands, wives. Put your ego aside and realize that you kids can teach you things as well. Take time to know what your children think, want and feel, not just what you want for them. I know that I have learned a few things my kids once allowed myself to. Now go give em hug, send em a text, leave a note in their lunch or one of their school books and remember to first seek to understand before trying to be understood, this applies to whomever you deal with.

 

You can use the power of intention and the Law of attraction to get, do and be what ever you want.

Your desire will determine your success, never what someone else wants for you. All too many times we feel that we need the approval of others or for someone else to take our journey with us. You have to want it for you first, then for family, friends and others. We do need the help and motivation form others but not from people that you have to convince. When you want it bad enough for yourself, those that can and will help you will start to appear as you attract them to you.

I am Starting Get the edge today. We don’t know what we don’t know that is why we seek the advice and knowledge of those that may offer us a new perspective and insight so that we can grow. Do you have or are living the life that you desire? Why not? Regain that youthful curiosity for life and start asking why again and learn, learn, learn.

Yes the truth can set you free from guilt and remorse depending on the situation but the truth also seems to come with a price at times. You know the little truths that get you in trouble “Honey do I look fat”? ummmm, yes? OR perhaps sharing how you feel about someone even when done in a tactful way seems to backfire at times. We have been conditioned to hide the truth because (in a Jack Nicholson voice) we can’t handle the truth. Ask yourself, Self, do I really want to know the truth and how will I deal with this information when I receive it? This is oh so true when it comes to relationships and even with our kids. As a parent I knew that there would be times that my children would do things that I might not approve and I had to ask myself, self, do you really want to know and what would you do with the information. I know things that my kids don’t know that I know and sometimes that was because I had to protect my source. My whole point here is be honest even it hurts and start to condition yourself to be able to handle the truth. We can’t make good decisions if we don’t have honest, truthful facts. A simple example is if you cook something for me and I say that I like it but I really don’t then you are going to continue to cook it for me but if I am honest you have to be able to handle the fact that I don’t like and not take it personally. Of course I would appreciate the fact that you cooked it for me but for me personally I would rather know that you did not like something rather than lie to me. It’s not easy, I use to get upset after cooking for the kids and being told they didn’t like it, I mean how dare they. I work all day then come home and slave over a hot stove, well guess what, that still doesn’t make it taste good. The kids were always tactful about it and appreciated the meal but when I asked they were honest. Hitler comes to mind here because he would shoot the messenger if they brought him bad news so they stopped telling him the truth. Just think how many times we have desired to know the truth but were not prepared when we actually got it.
