Children are Apt to Live Up to What you Believe of them

“𝘊𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥𝘳𝘦𝘯 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘢𝘱𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘭𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘶𝘱 𝘵𝘰 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘣𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘦𝘷𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘮.”⁣
Parents, we know that our children have their own thoughts/feelings, but it’s also true that what we think about our children affects them as well. ⁣
Our children will either rise or sink to the standards we set for. There are exceptions where the child will do the opposite out of spite, but generally the rule is that they’ll strive to meet our expectations no matter what.⁣
Let’s set high expectations for our children as we have their best interest at heart. Remember, we are not who we once were as young adults and teens, and we must acknowledge that our children are growing and maturing every day just as we continue to grow as parents. 🙌
What expectations are you setting for your children? Leave your suggestions in the comments below! ⬇️ Who knows, maybe someone else will be inspired by your parenting mindset!

Never Forget Where Yah Has Brought You From

September 19, 2019

It’s deep how life comes full circle at times. I met this brother Sierra in 1991 when I was trying to get in shape. Little did I know that the Most High crossed our paths so that I could build my spiritual “muscles.” Sierra was not only a trainer at a national chain gym but a man of God—and later I discovered he was married to my good friend from high school, Youlanda. Sierra was a strong influence in my life and we became close friends.

Life is full of decisions, but life is not about decisions

September 15, 2019

I am so thankful I listened to wisdom instead of my emotions because another strong rain could have caused some potentially costly damage.
