Would you hit hard?

This last weekend I spent at the golf tournament. I don’t play golf yet, but I decided I will sometime soon (like next spring). My husband was photographing the event and we were driving around in the golf car. It was so much fun:)

Once, we stopped to wait for the players to hit their balls and I was observing their decisions. They were standing at one side of the small pond, while the hole was on the other side. And they were pondering the length, which clubs to take, how to hit…

But the distance was quite large and I was calculating:”If I would be playing… if I hit hard, it might not be enough and the ball might end in the pond, but if I play safe, the ball would stay on this side of the pond and I would need to hit again, losing points.”

And then it stroke me. It’s just like our decisions in life.

Think about it! How would you play? Would you play safe or would you go for it no matter what? Would you rather go slow or give everything and risk losing something?

And the Winner is…Me!

Picture yourself vividly as winning, and that alone will contribute immeasurably to success.

Harry Emerson Fosdick

I was working in our garden the other day and Tina was jumping and running around. The weeds were overgrowing our grass and I was thinking how our lives are much like the garden. You have to nurture it and constantly removing the weeds (negative thoughts), that are coming from our environment (neighbours, or even from air..lol).

But then when I stretched my back, I got alert to Tina’s playing. She was kicking the ball and trying to hit the goal. After some time watching, I realized she is pretending to be two teams playing against each other. “They” all ran around, hitting and kicking the ball, trying to score the goal. And the result was really tight all the time. But at the end of the game of course that Tina won and she was jumping around doing deep bows. It was really fun to watch.

I realized how kids are confident about themselves and how they think of themselves as invincible. They always win in their games. When do we loose this feeling of being the best? How come that we allow our fears and negative beliefs to overcome our winning attitude? We let the weeds overgrow our flowers?

And it happens that the same night we watched “Slovenia’s got Talent” (oh, yes, we have that one too). The winner was little 7-year old Lina. She really has beautiful voice and she is a little princess. But what I noticed the most was how easily she performed, not affected by all the buzz and fuzz around the competition. She was cute and sweet but she was doing what she loves doing most and she was also very confident and mature.

And I thought:
That’s what we owe to the children, to keep their confidence, self-esteem and faith untouched.

Think about it! Are you supporting or limiting your child? How do you do it?

I would really love to hear your ideas and opinions, so leave the comment below.

Introducing the Unknown and Forgotten

I always tell my daughters to go for their dreams, to reach for the impossible and to always try the unknown.

This last one is especially true for the food. I am really proud that they eat everything – they love vegetables, fruits, even fish and mussels. I met many parents and they were complaining how their children are picky. And then when we discussed it, it turns out that they were picky too. How could they expect from children to eat everything when they are not?

I guess I was lucky because my father was always bringing recipes home from his business trips and my mother was a great cook, so we ate all kind of things. And that’s why I love trying new tastes and foreign cuisines. And so are my daughters.

Do you set up your child’s future?

Do you have any predetermined ideas about your child’s ability and competence? Like he’s no good for math? Or he will never be good at sports?

I must admit when I saw my children grow, I created a picture in my head, that Anja (older daughter) will never be good at sports. She was fleshy. And clumsy. She dropped the ball even when thrown from close range. I was sure she would not even attend any sport. But then she started swimming and she is good at it. She excels at the school athletic competition, and she loves to run. I was also sure that she would never sacrifice anything of her comfort for the sport. But then she goes to practice every day, sometimes even in the morning at 6 a.m. And her competitions took her all weekends, but she enjoys them.

Following Your Dream… at any cost?

“There’s only one way to succeed in anything and that is to give everything.” Vince Lombardi

You probably followed the Olympics at least to some extent. If you have children, maybe you prepared the Games at home, celebrating the Olympic spirit with some crafts, games and food. And I’m sure you set the athletes as an example of the motivation and inspiration to your kids. Even of following the dreams no matter what. There were quite a few examples of courage and determination, that go beyond normal sports competition.

But could we give a wrong message? Do you agree that maybe some dreams are out of the reach? And that sometimes they just take more than they give?

Let me explain. I watched Petra Majdic (being from my country, I watched even closer) ski-running. She was well prepared for the medal and she expected to get at least one. But then she fell and broke 4 ribs. She decided to compete anyway and managed to reach bronze medal, but after reaching the finish line, she collapsed with not only broken ribs but also punctured lungs. She was transferred to the hospital immediately.

Now that everything turns out just fine (although the season is finished for her) it looks like a brave thing to do. And that it was worth to take the risk. But what if she died during the race?

Would you allow your child to risk his own life to achieve something? Not risk like an accident, they can happen everywhere, but knowing that he gambles with life?

I know there are a lot of people put in the situations (even unintentionally) that can harm them and that a lot of world discoveries and inventions would never be available to us if there were no men who risked their lives. I am not saying you should stop trying or doing something, but where do you draw the line between risk and “risk”?

This may sound just the opposite of encouraging the children to dream and reach for the imposible, but where is the limit? When do you stop?
