Four Pillars for Kids

My thought of the day:

The four pillars I wish to engrain in the kids I hope God will bless me and my future husband with,are: 

#1: The ‪#‎GoldenRule‬ - Doing unto others what they would want to be done unto them. In other words, I would love to have them learn how to be aware of other people around them, how to be loving, encouraging, kind and giving. 

#2: ‪#‎AUTHENTICITY‬ ; Being true to oneself. I hope they can experience with life; question themselves, question life, be awake and be aware of life; and discover themselves, their passion, their purpose in the process. But through it all, I hope they remain free to express their thoughts, feelings, emotions ...to me (at the very least. lol) 

#3: How to gracefully ‪#‎DealWithRejection‬ , setbacks, failures and challenges in life. The tough times will come, the challenges will come, the hard times will definitely come. I just hope I could teach my future-kids ways to learn from each setback; to build from each error; to transform their tests into testimonies, to see the glass half full; to let their emotions out and cry out for a day or two, but pick themselves up and try again. I hope my future-husband and myself will teach them sooner rather than later, ways to deal gracefully with rejection and failures.

#4:  To ‪#‎TrustGod‬ _ Through out the above three processes, I wish to help my future-kids build a solid and intimate relationship with God (independent of religious practices). So that in whatever they do, they may always be assured of, and rely on His unfailing love and plans for their lives. Because with #4 all the other 3 points are achievable.
