Welcome back to 31 Days of Servant Leadership.
Is it fun being a leader?
I should say not.
Often, I sit back and let others make the mistakes and pave the way while I sit back and observe.
Then do it right.
So, how do we teach our kids that it’s ok to have fun and have downtime sometimes?
All work and no play means a dull life.
Good leaders have a sense of humor and they know how to play hard and word hard. They know how and when to have fun. {Tweet That!}
I’m a poor example. I’m too serious, too stressed. Too responsible.
I often have to force myself to be all motherly – affectionate, fun, patient, kind.
Motherhood is not natural for me.
It’s easy to bark orders and check off the boxes on the list.
Not so easy to make everything fun.
But why can’t it be more fun?
It’s not about easy. It’s all about balance. Trying not to get overwhelmed in the responsibility of all the things, but to try to make time for fun too.
Being a Yes Mom to ice cream for lunch. Leaving the dishes to push a swing. Getting down on the floor to play cards for math time.
Doing art class and calling it a day.
I pray to be more fun. I want my kids to have fun memories.
Balance.
Should we focus on fun?
