Like mother, like son….
Most of all, I want my son to be kind, compassionate, generous, confident, and happy, and I want him to feel loved. I would be lying though if I said I didn’t hope that he likes to exercise like I do so we can share time together. Also, since I’ll have a 50-year head-start, it would be fun if I could teach him something! Even if his interests are ultimately different than mine, I trust that I’m overall a healthy role model for him. He sees the daily habits that contribute to my healthy body; my commitment to training; and how hard I work to keep myself strong. I hope one day he knows that I do it for him.
I did it for him a decade before he was even born.
Is there someone in your life who looks up to you? Are you the role model you want to be?
