Chasing Your Dreams, Will Inspire Your Kids To Chase Theirs Too!

I always had these big dreams and goals of what I wanted to do in life. I had life all planned out with a plan A and a plan B. I stuck to it for the most part and then I began having kids. My dreams then shifted and the focus became different because I was now a mother. But I had to learn, don’t stop chasing your dreams just because you are a mommy. Now is the time to run faster to achieve them because someone is watching you.

Our kids are watching a lot closer that we think they are.

Chasing our own dreams will teach the mom and the child something. First, it helps to give us something to work towards. Whatever goal we may have, it will require some type of work ethic. Working towards that goal produces responsibility as well as clarity on what the end goal is. When our kids see us working, they develop a desire to do the same. Our kids are watching every move we make and they are watching a lot closer than we think.

Showing your kids that you are more than just mom is important for them to see.

I believe this is especially important for girls. So many times girls and women are put into a box and their strength and abilities are under estimated. Showing your children that as a woman and a mom you are able to reach your goals is a great lesson that they can carry on and use throughout their life. Chasing your dreams helps to show your kids to never allow anyone to put you in a box.

Chasing your dreams helps kids to see the struggles that come when reaching them.

Having a dream is great! Reaching that dream is a journey. It will not come easy. There will be wins and there will be losses. Allowing your child to see the ups and downs will help to prepare them when it is their turn. Everything will not work out perfectly, but that doesn’t mean you stop chasing your dreams. You find out what didn’t work and you repeat what did. The faster the kids learn this lesson, the easier it will be for them to understand that everything will not always work out the first time. But it will teach them resilience and allow them to understand that giving up is not an option. The will see that Mom kept going, so I can too!

Moms lead by example and this gives our kids the opportunity to do the same.

Reaching goals gives you something to focus on and allows you to be held accountable. These are great things to instill into your children. So while you are chasing your dreams and bettering yourself, your kids will be able to do the same. As you grow and become successful, your children will learn to do the same. And that’s what you call leading by example.

So keep chasing your dreams Mommy, because your kids are definitely watching. As you inspire yourself, you will automatically inspire your children!!! 💖
