What goals do we set for ourselves to be remarkable? And what do those milestones say about who we are and what we value? 

In this second part of Jaynee’s three-part series we talk about how the goals and values we aspire to has a direct impact on all our closest relationships, especially in communicating what we believe is important to our children. Consider this as you listen to today’s conversation – how do our choice of heroes and goals impact those around us who may have different aspirations or values? 

How well do we help those around us discover their own values and set their own, independent course?

This is one of the many areas where I did not do a good job as a parent. At the time, I was stuck in the binary thinking of one true path. I was beating myself up for falling short and wore blinders of exact obedience to the singular prescribed path. I certainly worked hard at instilling the same system in my kids.

In spite of my unskilled parenting, my kids eventually found their own beautiful path. I regret the many battles where I tried forcing them onto a foreign path. Even more, I feel that I robbed them of the wonderful gifts they could have given the world if I had been more supportive of helping them find their genuine path much sooner.
