#13 Lie: If you have talent, you're bound to go far in life.
The Truth: Talent won't take anyone, anywhere, at any time....unless it's applied with purpose and perseverance.
How to teach our kids perseverance and purpose:
1. You model it.
2. You reward it.
#14 Lie: It doesn't matter what you do in life, as long as you're happy
The Truth: Happiness isn't a right. It's a by-product of chasing your dreams and living your purpose.
Chase happiness and you'll find emptiness. Chase purpose and you'll find happiness and so much more.
1. Something significant to do
2. Something significant to dream
#15 Lie: It's not your fault.
The Truth: Stuff happens. Sometimes it's not your fault - sometimes it is. When it is, take responsibility and expect consequences. When it isn't, offer compassion and extend grace.
