My children are Modeling me, and their children will Model Them

I was tucking my son Nathan in a few days ago and before I was done he half smiled and said....

" Dad did you forget something??"

"Haha nope!". I said

"Nathan why are you strong?' I asked

"Because I did a pullup today!" He said with a huge satisfied grin.

His younger sister has been able to do pullups for a year now and she's up to 5.

Nathan has always struggled with these and got discouraged when he tried, couldn't do any, then Lauren would step up and knock them out. He would walk away and try something else.

But today he interrupted me outside and said "Dad lift me up to do a pullup"

He knocked out 2

He tried hard not to smile as big as he wanted to, but couldn't help it.

I showered him with praise and told him how proud I was of him.

Every night I ask my kids 1) Why they are strong. 2) Why they are smart and 3) Why they are friendly.

They have to tell me something they did that day that proves those are true.

Today Nathan couldn't wait to tell me why he is strong. Because now he KNOWS WITHOUT A DOUBT that he is strong because he proved it to himself.

My message to him every time he tries has been "It doesn't matter man! The only thing that matters is that you get up and try if you can do one great if you don't do it great it doesn't matter just keep getting up"

His pride and joy is huge right now but so is mine.

He's made a massive connection between failure, effort, success, inner joy, and self-love.

He doesn't realize the implications of what just happened, but he has a tangible memory linking failure to effort to success to feeling good.

This lesson will propel him in infinite situations throughout his life that he will then be able to share to an infinite amount of people.

Our impact is infinite.

Today matters.
