You still have to do the work – Protecting your kids from dysfunction – The chain of thoughts

All this personal growth work is great and all, but you have to actually do the work in order for your life to get better.

The main reason for that is because you need feedback from your environment. You test, observe, test again, then take action. You learn through your results.

And in order to change your results, your desire has to overcome the results you’re getting now. If that happens, your life will change a lot easier.

Also in this episode, I read a letter from a mom who feels paralyzed by dysfunctional family members and is scared her child is going to pick up or become dysfunctional because of their bad behavior.

Family can sometimes be toxic, especially around children. Children know right from wrong, even when they’re exposed to toxic stuff, but as long as they have a healthy role model, sometimes the toxicity from others doesn’t rub off on them.

Be the best role model you can be and your child will do much better because of it.

In the last segment, I talk about how a subtle change in your thought can lead to a good outcome or a bad one.
