Attitudes and Feelings

Phil, I am so happy and proud of you for taking these classes. I can tell you first hand that the rewards of breaking the negative cycles of how we were raised reaps such positive rewards! I have such respect for people that really take parenting seriously and can leave their ego at the door and work towards successful parenting! Many years ago, I read (sorry I cannot remember where!?), but anyway I read that Good parenting requires 3 steps:
1. Protecting
2. Inspiring
3. Teaching

If these steps are carried through, we set our children up for a happy life and the base to achieving their goals as well as emotinal health! Of, course, there is a lot more to each step....but I believe if we read through just these three.....it is a good barometer to judge ourselves as to our parenting!

Through our parenting, and breaking the negative and even harmful childhood that we may have had, we also heal ourselves!

Peace and Love!

Attitudes and Feelings

A fantastic thread, thanks Phil

I really need to change my attitude towards life - I often look to the future with fear (not hope, like my signature quote says).. I am working hard to change this.. I really need to if I am to be happy and not turn to AL when things get tough.. I have read somewhere also, that reality is just perception; you will see something one way, but someone else may see it a completely different way; for example, a glass of water will be half empty, half full, the colour blue, silver or white, depending on who is looking at it.. I really want to change and become a positive person, I am tired of embracing misery and expecting the worse of people and situations - I would often do that so I would not get hurt at a later date.. I really need to change my attitudes and look at things in a more positive, loving light..
