Lead by Example

In order for improvement to be made, we have to first become aware of what it is that is needing attention and then follow up with the actions needed to be taken to make the goal come to fruition. When we set a goal, we should have a true intention defined that will motivate the possibility into our reality. Success isn't something achieved overnight, it is something that is borne from compounding our efforts consistently a little at a time day in and day out. Some of our habits we have created for ourselves are no longer providing fruitful, and we need to cut them the fuck out of our lives for our own sake and health. We've allowed the excuses to overpower our true desire to hold on to the bad habits out of fear of making changes that can provide the real improvement we need. Each day though, we have a choice to take the action that makes the change happen for us that we need in our lives in order to grow. If you always put off doing something about it until tomorrow, it is never going to fucking happen until the day you choose for it to happen. Why not start today, just a little bit? Committing that little 1% effort daily to be a better human being than yesterday. Be the best example of yourself the day you leave this Earth, proud of your accomplishments and knowing you made them yours by your level of commitment each and every day you were alive and capable of taking action that made it really happen in your life.Remember that you have to be the greatest example and authority to your children first over being their best friend and giving in to their every whim. You should want to raise them to become a better person than you ever will be by being their best provider and teacher in their world. Rather than being their buddy, you have to be their role model they look up to, because they will be looking to you regardless of if you are setting good or bad examples of how they should act and react. Give them the gift of good habits, lessons, and attitudes they will carry with them for the rest of their lives. Lead them by example by being the person you want them to become.
