Open your eyes and look at where you’re standing……
We’re all standing on the brink
It’s the dawn of a NEW DAY…A NEW ERA
Inspiring the next generation is one of the most frustrating, most challenging
Yet most rewarding tasks of our times today
BUT NOW IS THE TIME
Not just any time but THE SET TIME to
Nurture them
Inspire them
Encourage them
Educate them
Empower them
Validate them
Motivate and build their confidence when their world is spinning out of control
Appreciate their efforts as they find their feet
Walk and talk with them when they struggle
Help them to stand tall when they fall
Teach them the positives and pitfall of screentime in their digital world
Help them to be victors instead of victims
Teach them how to practise and develop values of truth, integrity, contentment, perseverance, diligence, teamwork, patience, resilience and coping strategies along the way
Roll up our sleeves and create with them
Practical things like decent talk, taking their feet off a passenger seat, giving up their seat for the elderly, pulling up their trousers -knowing these are just as important as living and breathing
Help them explore, imagine & believe in their dreams
But most especially believe in themselves
In their God given identities, potential and self-worth
And not allow anyone or anything to crush it
Help them to see that if we can take action to build a future that we’re proud of with a solid foundation, then they too can have a HOPE & a FUTURE they can aspire to
The more values we pour into them, nurture them and steer them in the right direction
The more they will soar like eagles and roar like lions
Become better versions of themselves AND ourselves and
Be ready to change the world for good……..
YES IT’S TIME AND THE TIME IS NOW!
