Having Children: The Ultimate Training Opportunity

So many inspiring things in Life make you want to change your ways for the better, but not many do you the favor of sticking with you through it all, constantly reminding you that THEY LOVE YOU & WILL be there for you no matter what.
The Right Mental Preparation
It takes the right mentality in order to take full advantage of these opportunities. Mainly the fact that having kids is not a burden or hindrance on your achievements or progress. Too often we associate having children as such a negative endeavor that we ourselves start to believe it.
Also being able to recognize the value of your Time, Life Energy and How and Where you spend it. Rethinking that "job" if you "hate" going to work everyday. That hate becomes venom inside of you creating opportunities for more negative occurrences. I try to remember and you should too that "Nothing Positive will come out of Negativity". Plus it equals less time being with those you Love and/or Doing what you Love.
Enter The Heavy Weights
Then if you are fortunate enough as I have been to actually spend more than 4 hours a day with your offspring you'll feel the pressures of (for example in my situation): Anger or Annoyance, Countless Responsibilities and Tasks, Impatience, Low Energy, etc. Things we all naturally go through as we cycle Round & Round through Emotions, Chemical/Hormonal Reactions, but in this scenario you have an added incentive to continue Striving, marching forward Playfully, Optimistically and Enthusiastically. I have learned from my children to flex my brain muscles, emotional strength and energies. I continue working on and enjoying "Being" rather than "Doing" all the time, more "Listening" and less "Talking", "Understanding" rather than trying to be "Understood" and just as importantly Not just "Reacting" to Life, but applying a well thought out response to each situation, which goes along with Patience, Patience, Patience! The heaviest of my personal weights and most difficult to lift off of my chest. Check out my trainers below!
