Are You A Parent?

Today Isn’t Parent’s Day. Here’s Why It Should Be.

Life Coach Darryl L. Mobley

I was recently speaking to a group of adults about some of the key elements of my very popular “Enjoy and Grow Rich” program. During the Q&A portion of my presentation, an audience member took the microphone and asked me, “What were your parents like?”

I responded (Thanks to my crack staff for recording this portion. Thanks to the audience member for the question.):

“My parents were great! They taught me:

1. not to be afraid to think & act independently;

2. to value and focus on my character;

3. to work hard;

4. to feel good about myself;

5. not to quit a worthy goal;

6. not to consume or engage negativity;

7. to dream big;

8. to believe in myself; and

9. to keep moving forward.

The world they grew up in was a much more challenging place than the one that I inherited. Their world did not stop them from parenting me to the best of their abilities.

Looking back on it, they raised me to create the world that I wanted — not the world that was.

I now understand that these teachings are an everyday thing. My parents did not take a day off. They were filling my cup every single day. As the Book of Life says, “My cup runneth over.” My parents have passed on, but their teachings remain and my cup & saucer are forever full.”

I think that was a full answer. I know that it was a truthful one.

Every day that comes shows that being a parent is no joke. As my mother-in-law would say, “It’s more than a notion.” For all these reasons (and more that you can add), today and every single day should be Parent’s Day.

Are you a parent? If so, fill your child’s cup every single day. No days off. (No matter their age.)
