This has been an age-old battle and it happens relentlessly throughout all stages of life.
I want to tell you one of the things that I think my parents did a wonderful job on. I didn't think so at first but once once I've gotten a little bit older I fully realized why my mom and dad took this approach when I turned 18 years old. I was still living at home and my mom came to me one day and she said. “Listen. starting today you're 18 years old. You're a young man, you're gonna start paying rent. We don't need the money but you need the experience you need to practice.” And I'm like man, “This is I don't like this like. This is a terrible thing.” But later in life I come to realize that there's a time to kind of cut the strings. There's a time that you go out on your own and you become the man that God called you to be.
Here's the thing that I see happening over and over and over. Parents today are enabling their adult children. When you are enabling your adult child, you're not doing them any favors.

The message is is that we've got to sacrifice things today for the greater good later.
Dads, listen up. If you're not taking the time that you need to to pour into your sons or your daughters, I want to encourage you today to take that time because later on when they're young men and young women they're gonna have this great aspiration to do good for themselves as well and then they're going to take the time to listen.

I created a document six years ago called “What do I want.” One of the things that I realized in dealing with clients each and every day is many of you don't know what you want and so I created an easy document that I'm going to give it to you. We've taken the price off. There's going to be no charge whatsoever. If you'll look below there's a link and you can go to - www.viewfromthetop.com/whatdoIwant
This helps you identify your goals and dreams. I mean, don't we all dream big? We have goals and we want to accomplish those things but sometimes we need a road map in order to get there.
