Proverbs 22:6 says, train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.
We as parents have a big responsibility in training and disciplining our own kids. Train and discipline them in order for them to have the necessary tools when facing the real world. Grit, persistence, stamina, consistency, perseverance - these are just a few of the tools that I am talking about. If your child does not want to abide to the things you'd like him to do, it is your fault!
Listen, people tell me all the time, "Big A, I do not know what to do with my kids, I can't make them off from the video games. I cannot make them do a task" and so and so forth. All I got to say to them is - It's your fault!

Stop shutting down someone else's story/moment. I just want to encourage to let people's story be their story. Be genuinely interested to their story. Listen to their story. Doing so, you will become a real friend.

It's not accidental that I am a positive person, it is a choice. I choose my friends wisely. It is easier said than done, I know. But I am careful and intentional in choosing who I surround myself with.

I want to tell you something. I hear guys every single day because I coach, talk about the things that they do for six weeks or 90 days and it's not working and they abandoned.
I met an an old lady the other day in the YMCA. As I observe her, she kept going back and forth. I don't know how old she was and I waited until she got finished and then I went up to her and I said, "Man! You are so inspirational to me and I want to talk to you for a minute?" She said, "I can't hear you that well speak up." So started speaking up to her and she was just a sweetest old lady I've ever seen in my life and I said, "How long have you been exercising?" She said, "I exercise six days a week." I said, "Man, that is amazing you've been doing that very long as she says every day for 17 years. It was so inspirational to me since she said that and I said, Man, I hope when I'm your age I'm able to do the same thing!" She said, "You don't want to know how old I am." I said, "Would you tell me", and she said, "I'm 87".
This lady does her exercise every single day except Sunday. I thought, that's discipline! Where are we missing it in regards to our business career not implementing some strategies like the senior adult lady does at 87 years old. Six days a week she goes to the YMCA and works out! I'll tell you looking at her I think she's a better shape than I am and the reason is because she's disciplined! We can't let things get in the way. We can't let obstacles get in the way. I want to encourage you guys to be disciplined. If it's important, you'll do it!

We all heard and know about this saying. But are you taking the necessary preventive measures to protect the things and people you care the most about? Where is it that you need to be proactive so you won't have to worry about a bigger problem in the future?
