Week 16: My Talks to my Son…

My daughter
Those of you who have been reading my blog know that I have twins!
Even though they are twins, they are so different from each other!
My daughter is a young beautiful woman, who is finishing her Bachelor’s Degree at Iowa State University and will continue her career to complete a Juris Doctor (JD) Degree. (Seems like sometimes the apple doesn’t fall too far from the tree, since I’m also an attorney at law) 🙂

My son
My son, one of the smartest, intelligent, well-versed, young adults I have ever met in my entire life. But in terms of his future career, let’s just say that we had a very interesting conversation this last weekend…
He is planning to quit Notre Dame University, in Indiana, to join the U.S. Air-force. Yes, don’t ask me, it is not my decision. I only can be grateful for his future service (and being worried about his immediate future).
At one moment of our conversation I told him: Son, it is very important in life to:
- Have a clear vision of what you want in life. In short, how can you get where you want to be if you don’t have a clear picture of where is that place and how to get there?
- Finish what you start: Needless to say. That goes directly to the point of him not finishing whatever he started.
- Be persistent and consistent: Both are essential pillars of being responsible in life, and it’s what help us to finish what we start.(And I have to confess that I have issues dealing with the consistency part).
- Have Balance in life: Respect the essentials: eat, sleep, and move well. Nurture your spirit and mind.
While talking to him, I realised:
- Gosh, how much I miss my daily conversations with my dad!
- How much the MKMM has affected my own life. How important have been all the lessons I’ve been learning during this process. And how grateful I am with Mark, Devine, Don, and all the marvelous group who mastermind with me every single week.
Hopefully, my son will make the best decision for himself.

My kids! 🙂
Hopefully, everything is going to be alright…
In the meantime, I keep promising to myself:
- To bring a gift to wherever I go, and give something to every person I encounter.
- To be a grateful receiver.
- To give the hope for joy, regardless of the brevity.
- To give without expectation of reciprocity, because I finally know that I am in the dynamic flow of giving a receiving.
And, if there is a feature that characterizes me is that I always keep my promises!
PS. Tell me, How has been your week so far?
