The Magic Of Love
The Secret of Overnight Success (and How it Applies to Your Family)
When we see the headlines in newspapers and magazines or read the articles on the internet, we are often times forced to believe that success is over-night thing. The models and actors are found on the streets, writers and musicians miraculously hit #1 on the charts. And businesses earn millions instantly, with one product.
Even in biographies, the persons and their endevours are described shortly, with one sentence, and with words, that imply quick and easy shift.
But in reality the path to success often takes several, even tens of years, demanding much effort, overcoming many obstacles and sufferings.
You’ve probably heard of Edison’s 10.000 attempts. Colonel Sanders opened his first KFC in age of 62 after years of trying and perfecting his recipe. Famous book Chicken Soup for Soul was rejected 140 times before published. Twitter was growing in the mind of its inventor for almost 20 years. And you’ve probably heard the story of Steve Jobs.
It’s not so much about magical over-night change, but continuous day-to-day effort to reach the dreams.
It’s the same with parenting.
What is Really Important?
This year I already attended two funerals, both of family friends in their 60′s. Although both suffered heavy illnesses for some time, it was still very sad. But very eye-opening. It got me thinking about important things in our lives.
One of the funerals was especially touching. I think I never saw so many people attending before.
After the ceremony at the cemetery we were invited to lunch, together with some 100 others. And all of them was talking about deceased. How he helped them at one point of their lives or another, one way or the other. How often times he didn’t asked for payment or anything in return. How he was always prepared to offer helping hand. How he was always ready to have fun.
A Creed to Live By
Don’t undermine your worth by comparing yourself with others,
It is because we are different that each of us is special.
Don’t set your goals by what other people deem important,
Only you know what is best for you.
Don’t take for granted the things closest to your heart
Cling to that as you would your life, for without them life is meaningless.
Create Opportunities to Connect

How are you connecting with your kids? Are you always too busy to really devote time to them? Are you listening with just one ear, while doing something “more important”? Are you planning time to be with them? Not as a driver or care-taker or teacher or whatever role you are playing… But really BE with them – listening, talking, engaging…
Let me first share my story.
We have a puppy, and each day I go for a long walk. At first it was something I felt I needed to do and I was pretty upset all the time, thinking how should I spent this time more efficiently. But when I thought again it is perfect opportunity to go out, to breathe some fresh air, to clear my head and to think of my next moves. Lately I do some tapping as well, although sometimes it still feels awkward when people are watching.
Now I enjoy my walks and I love meeting and interacting with people. Usually I’m not the person to start the conversation.
