1) Do model the 100% Accountable Mindset at home by taking responsibility for your actions and the control you have over your destiny. How we use our time determines whether we get the most out of each day, which in turn affects our future. It is important to maximize our time by doing things that energize and fulfill us, because these activities will help take us toward our best possible lives.
2) Do realize the importance of growth in everyday life. It’s important to see that how we spend our time reflects what is important to us. Some of our routines and tasks are productive and make us stronger, while others have no benefit, weaken us and may be counter-productive to living a great life. How we use our time determines whether we get the most out of each day, which in turn affects our future.
3) Don’t blame others for what has happened to you. When you blame or resent others, you spend a lot of time thinking negatively. This prevents you from doing what you need to do to live your dreams.
4) Don’t harbor ill will toward others or allow your child to let the actions of others become obstacles for them. By holding onto anger, you cannot move forward to live your best life. Many of us have had very difficult circumstances, but it is important to recognize that we control our destinies from this moment forward.
5) Don’t make excuses. When your child sees you making excuses for why you can’t do something, they are likely to reflect that same mentality and find excuses for why they can’t do something as well. Our greatest limitations are those we place on ourselves. When you make excuses, you are beaten before you even try.
