Differences Matter…And Not All Are Ideal
I am a #BoyMom and while he is now married and creating a nice life for himself, he remains one of God’s greatest blessings to me. Thus, when I came across this brief article of the social experiment which monitored 10 boys and 10 girls alone in a house to track their behavior and interactions, my heart broke a little.*
The experiment reveals boys destructive and irresponsible nature while the girls exhibit team work and the ability to care for themselves and others at a level almost unheard of for their age. While the boys fight with each other and quickly break into factions, the girls work together to solve differences and remain a productive, cohesive, and joy-filled unit.
30 years ago, I had no idea my fight for gender equality would become a full-scale attack on the reason and purpose for our differences. While this article would lead one to believe “girls are better than boys,” as the carefully chosen comments highlight, this #BoyMom, #SuccessCoach, and #HappinessExpert hopes men and women will reflect upon our roles as SERVANTS to each other.
We are designed to shepherd others towards their excellence but that requires we have attained wisdom.
We are to raise our children so they can lead healthy, productive, societally purposeful lives and yet, how well are we doing?
What do you know and do now that you wish you had known and done then? Are you using your life story as a means to help others?
While we are products of our upbringing, at some point it is no longer our “parents’ fault.” As one progresses through his/her 20s and certainly as a 30-something, s/he MUST put in the long, hard work to honestly evaluate and adjust/change behaviours, attitudes, and beliefs to achieve a higher level of success – peace, freedom, happiness – in all areas of life. After all, you cannot give away what you do not have.
If you are not where you want to be, reach out as I have a plethora of resources to serve you as well as ideas to help. And, of course, I will always pray for you.
I encourage you to start by reading my book – The Happiness Formula.
I’m excited to walk this journey with you as we unveil the practical and research-based information on how to achieve that which we all desire for ourselves and others – to be “happy”. We discover that happiness is attainable and, better yet, sustainable, as long as one is willing to do the work. In my book “The Happiness Formula”, I dive into each element in detail.
