The Truth Behind Success

4/15/2017

An education is not a thing one gets, but a lifelong process.

– Gloria Steinem
Lately my mind has been extremely focused on the process of learning. Wednesday night, I was scrolling through my Facebook feed and came across a picture about success and the work we put into being successful.

Now people define success many different ways. But to me, success means stepping out and trying something new. Accomplishing a goal that you set for yourself.  

For young kids, tying your shoes is a big accomplishment - but it is also very challenging. Michelle, from Full House, got extremely frustrated trying to learn.  She had given up and decided to throw all her shoes with laces out….until her uncle stopped her. They had discussion about the process of learning and how we don’t just stop – we persist! After that, her mindset shifted and she kept trying.

Have you had conversations with your kids about success?

​It's important we talk to kids about the work we put into being successful. Success doesn't happen without hard work, mistakes and - well the list is endless. 
If we don’t have conversations with our kids about the process of learning, they won’t know that success comes from hard work. It’s easy for anyone to see the end result of something and never think about all the work that goes into it beforehand.

To promote life long learners, we need to have those conversations and empower our kids to take risks and learn new things. It’s through the whole learning process, good and bad, that we expand our minds and grow.

Until next time,
Jackie
