From an amazing MasterMind Zoom call, to having my son’s ignite with excitement as we experience Discovery Cube for the second time, and then just having intimate time with the just three of us being present to each other, I knew that there were things happen. My life manifests success when I am present in preparation for work, being wiht Zyan and my wife, to giving time to friends, loved ones, potential clients, clients as well as family.
It’s a lesson that I continue to learn. When I multitask, scroll social media, answer emails and texts while walking into home, I don’t do myself favors. Becoming more and more disconnected is not the answer so now my new mantra is Be Present. That means putting the phone away as soon as I walk in the door. Being there with Zyan as he shows me his new vocabulary and games that he’s invented, going over letters, and words. It means kissing the wife as soon as I walk in so Zyan sees that as the norm not be on a phone.
It means just being there when he looks up and smiles and shares whatever comes to his fancy. And it also means that its not a task, its a privilege to be there. See him, like REALLY see him. It also relates to all other aspects of my life. Being mindful is a huge undertaking for me sometimes when I get distracted by the latest shiny thing but I feel now a pleasure of just being. And so thats my intention beginning this month.
