The Family Pillar

The Family Pillar

The third pillar of the 10 pillars that I coach my clients on is the family pillar.

fam·i·ly: a group consisting of parents and children living together in a household.

Nothing can replace family. And when you have family you have something to live for. Walt Disney said that a man must never neglect his family for business. Who comes first in your life? If it’s work change it immediately and never look back.

The greatest investment in our lives is in our children. In our children are the future doctors, teachers, and entrepreneurs of our nation.

And at the present moment before they go off and do great things in the world our kids can be the source of our greatest joy. If we let them.

Take inventory 

If you have kids where are things at with them?

If you don’t what kind of mom or dad do you want to be to them?

What is the dynamic of your home? What order are the first 3 pillars of you life?

Consider this

When we take as much time to create family values and guidelines as some do getting ready for a night out or spec-ing out a dream car perhaps there would be more functional families in the world than dysfunctional families.

Ask yourself the following:

• Are you getting the most joy out of your family and children?
• What kind of parent are you to your kids?
• How do your kids view you?
• What kind of communication do you have established with you children?
• What would be the ideal relationship you want with your family?
• What do you need to do to have it?

Take action

Take 15 minutes to journal what your learned about your family and how you can improve your family dynamic. There is always a way to turn things around. As long are you are committed you will find a way.
