I don’t think most folks think about how they will be remembered by their closest family and friends a few hundred years from now but it’s worth meditating on.

It’s interesting to know that the things that kids most remember are extremely rarely anything having to do with what their parents did for a living what kind of achievements they had anything having to do with their financial security or their sense of accomplishment professionally.

It seems like you that you can google is not you that anyone is going to remember.  It begs the question as to why are we consumed with our stature or our titles or are accumulation when those are really things to feed our ego in the short term?.

The interesting thing is that kids remember very much positive affirmations encouragement, any sort of statements around being proud or being very happy about the child’s behavior activities those memories stick, and are very impactful and lasting.

Conversely, memories of criticism negative energy around capabilities. Those are very long, lasting as well, and also very difficult to unwind from a trauma standpoint.

Message is to make sure that we’re finding a balance between what we need to do professionally pursuing opportunities and advancement yet staying very rooted to the things that our family and friends need from us emotionally spiritually and electrically that makes huge differences in their lives in the long run.

I love this video to encourage parents to spend more quality time with their kids and more importantly, to really be present in the moment when they are spending time with them so that those memories are positive in their impact and long lasting as a result.
