What’s the best gift one can give
to a child? I asked myself this question one day, many years ago…
Is it happiness, comforts of
life, a good education, a supporting family, or fulfilling every desire the
child has?
After much contemplation, I decided
that the best gift one can give a child is the self-confidence, and the
capability to raise their own self-belief when they need to.
In other words, if we are able to
create a positive and self-confident child, we have done a large part of our
work as parents.
Let me give you my reasoning for
this. There are 2 subjects I have studied deeply – happiness and success. Every
human needs to experience these 2 outcomes in their life, for their life to
feel fulfilled and worthy.
I have even written 2
best-selling books on these subjects – The Little Manual of Happiness and The
Little Manual of Success. They are available here http://www.soulcentre.org/shop.html
One of my great realizations
during my research was that for both success and happiness to manifest, one
needs to develop a strong and positive self-esteem and build the capability to
raise this self-confidence by choice when needed.
Life presents many challenges,
and these storms come when we least expect them; if we don’t have a strong self-belief,
we will be emotionally shaken and depressed and thus not able to tackle life
with the optimal actions we must. Since actions bring results, without a strong
self-confidence we are unable to create or enjoy an optimal life.
All successful children develop
high self-esteem, and this is what sees them through difficult times when
things and results are not what they expect.
Self-confidence builds
resilience.
All happy children also
demonstrate high and positive self-confidence. This allows them to protect
their own happiness when the world around them does not offer the approval we
seek.
Self-confidence builds an inner strength
that can easily sail through the external storms of life.
For a happy and successful life,
a high self-confidence is essential. The best gift you can give your child is
training which empowers them to become a positive and confident child, able to
handle whatever life throws at them.
You can start by sending your
child to a SoulKids class, and see the positive difference it makes in them.

you would have given them the best gift you possibly can as a parent.
