How do we become a mentor for passion?
- Your children should bear witness to you embracing your passions. They need to see what that looks like, the sacrifices, the hard work, and the energy derived from a passionate existence.
- Your children should bear witness to your joy, to your open heart, to your honesty, and to your truth. These are evidence of passionate living and it is no private matter, with nothing to be embarrassed about.
- Reward your children for things they do well. Build on their strengths.
- Encourage them to explore options through conversation, actions, and opportunities.
- Bring your child to work. Devise ways for them to help you with your work.
- An internship or an opportunity to apprentice is never too early. Especially if they show a real talent in a particular area.
