Indulge me for a moment.
Think back to the moment your child was born, the moment you held that little bundle of life in your arms, the moment you realised that you were a Father or Mother.
What were the thoughts running through your mind?
I remember being very happy and wishing that my little one would grow up to be healthy and happy.

Healthy and Happy.
So simple and yet we sometimes make it so hard. I must constantly remind myself that that's what I want for them.

Somewhere along the line, as our children grow up, we start tagging on labels or things to be - Hardworking, Smart, Successful, Clever, Responsible etc etc ...
I am not saying that those are bad things to be but we must not lose sight of that feeling we had as we first held them ...
