Just Do It!

Personal development is something we do for ourselves that benefits so many others. Kids learn more from what we do than what we say.

It seems strange that the best way to help our kids grow into great people is to focus on growing into great people ourselves, yet it is absolutely true. The way we behave, how we take care of ourselves and how we treat other people will influence our children more than anything we “tell” them to do.

When we push ourselves out of our comfort zone and force ourselves to grow beyond our current knowledge and abilities, we are role modeling for our kids the very behaviour we would like them to adopt. Their issues and areas of growth might not be the same, but the message is still picked up.

When Nike came up with the slogan “Just Do It!” they were describing far more than most of us imagined.
