I recently ran across a note regarding an email conversation that I had with my husband last year while he was away on military deployment. We had started asking each other daily questions to stay connected and one of them was:
What are 3 pieces of advice you would like our children to remember?
I was struck by how profound our answers were even in retrospect. In the hopes of initiating a valuable discussion I will bravely share:
Mine:
- Do the right thing even when nobody is looking.
- Life is not about the big moments; it’s how you live every day that counts.
- Live with respect, kindness, honesty and a sense a humor and surround yourself with others who do the same.
His:
- Learn to pick your battles wisely.
- Follow your dreams.
- Surround yourself with positivity.
I invite you to join in our discussion. If you have children – or are planning to in the future – what would your 3 pieces of sage advice be?
