Wisdom Wednesday

“If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.”

John Quincy Adams


As a parent, you are a leader!  Whether or not you aspired to be a leader within your chosen profession or you are quite content being an individual contributor to your employer - being a parent makes you a leader.

Do you consider yourself a leader to your children?  When you are in the midst of cleaning up an ultra messy diaper, doing the laundry, fixing dinner, and attempting to fix a boo boo, are you thinking of yourself as a leader?

When you are a parent, your children are watching, observing and learning from everything they see you doing.  Your children admire you, look up to you - in the eyes of your children you are the sun, the moon and the stars!

Embrace the words of former President Adams - go be the mom or dad that inspires your children to dream more, learn more, do more and become more.  You are their leader!
