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.
”Listen earnestly to anything your children want to tell you, no matter what. If you don’t listen eagerly to the little stuff when they are little, they won’t tell you the big stuff when they are big, because to them all of it has always been big stuff.” – Catherine M. Wallace
It requires constant, continous, daily work. It’s small steps, sometimes minutes, that count. But as long as you keep moving, you can expect to reach your destination.
It can not be made with one huge shift. There is no quick fix for the problems. Nor can you expect to change one day and the world around will change. Rather than looking for quick solutions, devote each day time and effort to improve a tiny bit.
By building the strong foundation, not card towers, you can expect your family to be strong. With little actions you are creating the lasting change and laying a stepping stones for future success of your children.
Start small.
Keep going!
Expect miracles!
