As a parent, I think this video has taught me something useful.
I recommend that you should try it on your kids, too.
I have also shared it with my wife.

Originally I was going to ignore this quote but I have a stronger nudge to make it a learning experience for you, Peter.
Read carefully.
Regardless of how long a way you think you have to go, there are people behind you.
Regardless of how far ahead a person eventually think they are, there are people ahead of them.
The mistake young people make today. The mistake you're currently making - is the misplacement of competition.
The only reason why "embarrassment" is your instant primal response is because you've subconsciously layered me as your "competition".
I am not your competition. No one should be your competition. YOU are YOUR competition.
Every single day you wake up, make efforts and improved yourself by 1% - you've won.
I started competing daily with myself over 15 years ago - I saw no other person and I was winning daily.
I share this as an intro because the most substantial redirect a man's life can take is dependent on his perspective.
- How you see things
- why you see things the way you see them.
If I leave a pair of scissors on the table.
A seamstress would instantly think about clothes & a surgeon would see a splicing instrument.
Both perspectives however relatively valid, are an expression of their individual inputs.
Inputs are shaped by who you listen to, who your fashion your life after, your repeated actions that have now become habits.
When you see others with edges you admire - instead of selfdevaluation, you ask yourself:
- how did they get there?
- what did they have to do to get there?
- how can I replicate?
- what is my first step?
When you admire a person's writing skills - your primal response shouldn't be embarrassment?
"How did they get there?"
- Read more
- Expand the range of books you consume
- Write more
- Spend time with high level podcasts
- Attend high level seminars
- Be intentional who you follow and listen to
- Watch what you give your mental space to.
You can acknowledge the mental, physical, financial superiority of others without necessarily feeling inferior. This is the ultimate litmus test of ESTEEM because you sef no small.
There are people more handsome, more academically sound, more intelligent than I am. I acknowledge it.
BUT I am not inferior to them. They wouldn't say anything, do anything, carry a task the way I would because in the world of competition, there's only one person I see.
You know what - fuck it, I'll do a space session this evening.
Apostle Mike was in a vision where he saw angels open his head literally & putting the pages of the Bible into his head…
That vision makes sense now, cos this his depth of revelation is no longer normal.
A church is a hospital, do not make the mistake of marrying someone because they “attend” a church, prostitutes attend church, yahoo boys attend church, drug barons attend church, ritualistic attend church, the right thing to do is to go through the leaders, and proper counseling

I woke up this morning with mixed feelings. Feelings that compelled me to make a thread. I withheld because I didn't want to communicate sadness but reality.
It is an inconvenient conversation but someone's boot needs to hit the door and trigger this conversation. 🧵
