Lead Your Marriage and Family By Example:
Things I Work On
Personally & Live Every Day!

These
things teach the incredible lesson of humility. When I learned to appreciate
these lessons in life, I reached a new level of self-awareness, happiness and
appreciation for life.
- Take
responsibility.
Blame costs you your credibility, keeps others on the defensive and
ultimately sabotages real growth.
- Be truthful. Inaccurate representation
affects everyone you are close to...show that honesty really IS the best policy.
- Be courageous. Go first. Take calculated
risks that demonstrate commitment to a larger purpose.
- Acknowledge
failure.
Others will see it is okay to do the same. Failure is part of learning.
- Be persistent. Try, try again. Go over,
under or around any hurdles to show that obstacles don’t define your relationship or family.
- Create
solutions.
Don’t dwell on problems; instead offer solutions and then
ask your wife or other family members for more.
- Be attentive- Ask questions, it’s how to
learn, how to understand and how to let others showcase their knowledge. You’ll receive valuable insights and set a tone
that encourages healthy dialogue.
- Entrust others
where they will shine-
Encourage an atmosphere in which each family member can focus on their core strengths.
- Self Care- Exercise, don’t overwork,
take a break. A balanced marriage and family, mentally and physically, is a successful one. Model it, encourage it, support it!
- Be directly
involved with the processes- You’ll inspire
greatness in your household!
Walk the
walk, don’t just talk the talk. Work to banish shame (a useless, hurtful
emotion), fears of being embarrassed, or looking foolish (admit it, most of us
feel those feelings, to some degree or another). Become a person others want to
follow. One thing that, almost immediately, makes us lose trust in someone we
have esteem for, is hypocrisy.
