Having kids, I had to overcome my fears…or at least hide them well. I don’t want my boys scared of everything. I want them to live their lives as fearlessly as possible. Fearless…but not dangerous or stupid.
Now that my boys are getting older, some of my fears have crept out of hiding. They see that I’m a little scared or nervous and they encourage me! They want me to have fun with them! Also, there are times When I’m the only parent able to go with them. What I’m nervous about ends up being an amazing time spent with my Boys!
I don’t want my boys cowering in a corner or hiding in my arms, scared of trying something. I want them to take risks and to enjoy the thrill of the unknown. Just think, if people didn’t take themselves out of their comfort zones, technology wouldn’t be as advanced as it is and there would be nothing thrilling or fun to do!
No one would know who Steve Jobs was because he wouldn’t have done anything to know about. No one would have seen Evel Knievel do his amazing stunts if he just sat around and did nothing in his life. Life would be so boring!
I do want my boys to be safe, but I know that I can’t protect them from everything forever. I want them to work hard and to enjoy their lives! I want them to be able to do everything they want to do in life!
Sometimes, the best adventures are the ones that scare us the most.
