A while ago I encouraged my daughter Zara not to listen to a friend who wanted her to do something that she didn’t feel good about.
“Trust yourself and listen to yourself,” I said to her.
It made perfect sense.
Then recently Zara didn’t want to take part in a ski camp that I knew she’d love and would be great for her skiing.
“I don’t want to do it, you told me to listen to myself,” she said to me.
She’s a sharp thinker!
The reality is that we need to listen to ourselves, but we also at times need to listen to others.
I guess the filter then is trust; listen to those you trust have both your best interests at heart AND have the knowledge to know what’s best.
They need to have both.
It’s a good lesson for kids, and for us older kids too.
(Zara’s loved the ski camp BTW as I knew she would!)
A while ago we were at a horse show. Zara and I walked the course, and I read the jump off and told Zara what it was.
Observing many people and many businesses over time, I’ve observed two factors within your control that lead to much great returns.
Every morning, I meditate with Ernie resting his head on my lap. It’s a special time.
We should eat more leafy greens, go plant based, eat fish not red meat, don’t eat dairy…
