1) Don’t complain that life happens to you. You have a choice in every situation – really every situation – if only it is a choice between dying screaming or dying silent.
2) Think things through. Anything is possible if you just create a strategy. Someone has to win Academy awards one day. Someone has to become a college professor one day. Why not get a step ahead by actually acting?
3) There’s no use in buying flowers for a grave. Buy flowers as long as your friends and family members can enjoy them – death happens far too soon anyway. Don’t save special words or deeds for a special occasion. Being alive is the special occasion.

A bit behind in reading posts, but really felt the need to comment. I am a mum of two children aged 10 and 12, my son has Austism and daughter Aspergers Syndrome,
the greatest gift I could teach/show my children is that of gratitude.
I have learnt some very big lessons in my life that I would not have done if I did not have to deal with their conditions, even though tough I would not change a thing.
I have learnt unconditional love, patience, tolerenace, not to stress over the small stuff, unpredictablity, to be non-judgemental, building relationships are of utmost importance,
to stand in my integrity for what I value and to to never give up on anyone. This is an endless journey of learning.
They are my teachers.

Three things I would teach my children...

Don't let fear stand in the way of doing what you want. You'll end up wondering what happened to all that time!

You ALWAYS have a choice of how to act in ANY given circumstance. That is your greatest power. Use it well- if you don't, someone else will use it for you.

It is okay to ask for help and support from others in achieving your goals. Sometimes you can't unlock the door from the inside.

...but not before I teach them how to play cricket!

I have a teenage daughter and I wish for her to understand that it is important to:

love herself - have good self image, independent of what others think

be kind to others, especially those in need

be happy! we only get one go at life, might as well enjoy it!

Have a great day, everyone!

1. Listen. Really listen, so you actually hear. Just because someone is older than you doesn't mean they haven't a clue (they have been there too)

2. Integrity. I cannot stress how important this is. Be honest to and about yourself, and towards others. It does matter.

3. Appreciate your friends and loved ones. We all know how fast accidents can happen and take away those we care for. Enjoy them while you can.

Hey Craig,

The three most important lessons I hope to pass on to my children (if they are listening and observing) are:

1. Who cares if I am proud of you? Are you proud of you? Don't spend your life pleasing me, spend your life living your life and I will spend my life loving you for fulfilling your own dreams and goals.
2. You can never love someone too much.
3. It's not my (or anyone else's) job to make you happy. Being happy is your responsibility... so just be happy - smile until you feel happy.

Enjoy.

Please sign me up for the blogging workshop webinar – it sounds great.
Three things I’d like to teach my boys:
1. Do you best at everything you do.
2. Life is a journey not a destination.
3. You get back as much as you put into something.
