I haven't posted anything to my blog in a long time. That's probably because I was running around randomly, with no direction or purpose. I was just posting my ideas and experiences to try to see what other people had to say.
Therefore, I'm going to revolutionize the purpose of my blog and give it a direction. Instead, I'm going to blog about raising kids, and how I think it should be done. At a minimum, if no one else gets anything out of my posts, this will serve for me a means to log my ideas for when I do actually have kids. I have a long way to go in that department, but that's ok, you can't be too prepared for something like that.
In a way, my blog is still about leadership, as it will attempt to show how to raise children with the goal of turning them into leaders at a young age. Children are more capable of being guided and shown the right way, as they don't have nearly as many preconceived notions about the world. Also, one is most empowered to succeed (e.g. the parent in terms of raising their children) when something as important is put on the line as their children's futures. Only when you take it upon yourself to see others succeed will you learn the most and the fastest yourself.
From now on, I'll post Lessons, which will comprise of the lesson to be learned; why it is important to learn the lesson and how it may affect someone's job, family, or even society; personal experiences in how I learned the lesson; and finally some practical examples about how one could conduct excercises designed to assist teaching the lesson to someone, namely your children. Every practical excercise will include the goal of the child in terms of the tasks they should try to achieve and steps you should take as they progress through their tasks to ensure they understand the concepts and see the whole picture. Most importantly, it will be clear as to how to explain the why, where without it, the lesson may not be learned at all.
I will warn you though, that although most of my ideas are going to be derived out of my experiences from the Army, they will be toned down, but still difficult to accomplish. I believe the value of anything is nevery truly appreciated unless a lot of blood, sweat, and tears are sacrificed for it. In other words, it isn't worth it or there is something wrong with it if it was too easy.
That's the conclusion to how I'm going to Revolutionize my blog. I hope you all stay tuned and provide feedback, criticism, and even your own ideas and experiences.
