Well everyone knows that I'm passionate about creating positive change that directly affects our generation. Yesterday after work i and my fiance were discussing about the future of our baby as we are expecting a child soon. I wanted to open a child savings account for my baby and my fiance thought they were better things to do with the money now. Well that's not where I'm going to. I was concerned about my baby's future financial security as it relates to educational tuition funds I wanted to insure him/her before he's born (well as we awate the scan results I'll be sure about the gender but why do I want a boy?) Lol.

It then occured to me that outside the money and all what true legacy do I look to leave behind that my child can look up to? I became so concerned about how to become a better Dad to my unborn child then I realized that most people do not live their lives with this consciousness. The consciousness that every decision we make directly has am impact in the outcomes of tomorrow. That the choices we make can affects our family for generations, will they look back and thank you?

When a child is born, people often comment that the baby has his mom's eyes or her dad's nose. Much like DNA, parents and other progenitors can pass down other traits. Rarely do we hear phrases like, "Oh, look! He has his father's alcoholism." or "She has her mother's low self-esteem." But, these are very real possibilities. The decisions we make today will have an effect upon our children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and so on. It is up to you whether you want to leave a positive legacy or a negative one.

Children responds more quickly to what that see than what they hear. the way we parent, communicate, organize or handle stressful situations is how our children will do those same things throughout their lives. Example is the greatest teacher. theIf we yell, spank, are dishonest, overreact or waste money, our children will also. How would you like your children to behave in public or treat others? You must be the example of how you want your children to act or who you want them to be. Thus, if there are bad habits you don't wish your children to acquire, now is the time to stop.

How do we create a good legacy for our children?

Amid the terrible things to pass down
to our family, we can also share
wonderful gifts that our posterity will
thank us for. Leaving behind
journals or a spirit of service and
love can strengthen families for the
better. Some traditions of church
service, becoming an Eagle Scout,
community involvement, college
graduates or other successes are
admirable accomplishments for
others to see and follow. Putting
positive pressure on our families to
accomplish good can be a driving
force for good in the lives of our kin.
This also links back to being a good
example for our children to follow.

We are the mirror our children look at, when they look what reflection do they see?

Authors note

The legacy we leave for our children,
grandchildren and future generations is up to us. Regardless of what we inherit from the past, we can change and make the future better. The choice to become better, heal the past and to shun poor choices is ours. Make changes for the
better. Be the best you can be and trust in God at all times. Teach them to rely on God and in the powers of their kneels(prayers) above all the money, the riches, the inheritance this is the best legacy you can leave behind. There is hope. Your posterity
will thank you.

I'd like to leave you with the some lyrics from the late Whitney Houston's children are our future

I believe the children are our future
Teach them well and let them lead the way
Show them all the beauty they possess inside
Give them a sense of pride to make it easier
Let the children's laughter remind us how we used to be

Thanks for reading
