THE GREATEST AWARD ...
We spend more than half of our lives working for an organization or building our business and we tend to forget that the power, apart from GOD, is the love and presence of our family especially the children that we bring into this world. Recently I got awarded the greatest Dad in the world by my son and daughter and I should say that in light of all the achievements and accolades in life , there is nothing like this award, nothing ever can replace it , nor be better than it.
I am sure I don't deserve this with the amount time I spend on other things than family, however this made me realize and rethink how I do in this area. So here is the main theme of this message , a reminder to me and everyone who take our kids for granted - :
1. Cherish every moment we have with them , let us be completely focussed with them in every way.
2. Create teachable moments through how you live your life , remember they watch our every move.
3. Convert failures or obstacles in their lives to a process of finding victory and joy through paths untravelled.
4. Converse on everyday subjects and deep ideas, allow them to grow as unique individuals, knowing themselves and growing to who they are supposed to.
5. Forgive often (we have all made mistakes) , love unconditionally, live to serve and give the best we can.
Hope all of you will spend some time on this and looking forward that all of you Dads and Moms getting one of these awards. I am putting it up on my wall.
Let's all strive to be deserving of our children.
