“Being completely present at home has been one of my biggest challenges in life. Although the wise old man taught me many lessons about the importance of family, I struggled for many years to focus on this Tree of Life without distraction. I guess that sometimes it is only through personal experience that we learn to appreciate the fruit from this tree, that so many of us take for granted.
Often it is when we meet with failure and face obstacles in life that we are prompted to seek the support of our family. That’s when we truly appreciate the unconditional love that our family has for us – a love that is greater than any.” – Excerpt from Chapter 5, A Higher Branch, by Sam Makhoul
The team at A Higher Branch Success Academy list family as the third most important area of life, after health and love. Our family life is very important because, when it’s managed right, it gives each family member the courage to do and try anything without fearing failure.
Knowing that our family loves us unconditionally makes us fearless. This is critical to our sense of security and order.
The challenge of modern day living has brought dysfunction into family life. In some cases, family life has become toxic and a source of emotional stress and anxiety.
Parents are struggling with pressure at work, lack of sleep, poor nutrition, financial pressure from over-consumption, and too much exposure to digital and social media. The family unit is breaking down.
The emotional bond between parents and children was once prevalent but is now becoming rare. Children cannot wait to “grow up” and “leave home”.
Why do we need performance coaching in this area of life? As we said at the outset, every aspect of the eight areas of life is important because there is a symbiotic relationship between all of them.
Fail in one and you will upset the balance in others. Try being effective at work if you show up with family burdens on your shoulders.
Try focusing if your children are sick or out of control. Try being creative at work if you are constantly arguing at home.
Parenting it is such an important area of family life and a core focus by the team at A Higher Branch Success Academy.
Here Are Some Of The Challenges Of Family Life In The 21st Century:
- Feeling rushed with no time to communicate effectively.
- Confused about what parenting tools to use.
- Over-parenting to compensate. But we do so in the wrong way.
- Projecting what we want on our children instead of honouring their uniqueness.
