The Extraordinary In The Ordinary

I serve without effort when I serve my children. Though I tend to over-serve, if that is possible, i.e. being available, sometimes anticipating their needs, I serve them unconditionally. I now see that my over-service could have been a brake in their growth, and independence, creating co-dependency and laziness. I now approach my responsibility as a father, being a guide, motivator, and mentor, bringing my life experience and insights to their requests and needs rather than personally fulfilling their tasks for them
