It takes a village to raise a child

Drive and work capacity feed each other but the connection is not assured.  Upwards progress depends on the ‘cold’ decisions we make: do I stick with what I am doing or do I choose a new challenge? (and continue to feed the upwards cycle) We all are guilty of making the easy choice, and that’s why we need others; to challenge and motivate us.  Sometimes it’s an energy thing – a constructive kick up the pants, while at other times is a matter of needing someone to instill some belief.  Whatever the need, the more support we have the more likely we are to keep moving

For parents you may be struggling with an unmotivated or unconfident child: check the connection between you.  Get closer and engage together on their level.  Once a connection has been reasserted, add some variety; you’re on your way!
