One thing I have been thinking about is that as a parent, I am always telling my children to work hard...do your best... But you know what, do I do that? Am I presenting the best me there is? Probably not. I remember that growing up most classes in school came easily to me except math. So once it required me to extend myself...to work hard at it...I struggled. Aren't we all tempted to cut corners...find the easy way out...the most profitable way with the least amount of work.
Perhaps, I do push myself...sometimes....but is that my method of progression...to work hard...NOPE! Heck, I even cut corners on housework..(shhh, don't tell anyone...). I want to be an example to my kids....
I have a lot of nerve telling Miles and Layla they could be better... when I could be better myself!
