Re: Do you believe in "The Father Factor"?
It's an influence yes, but you can choose to change. It's hard it takes more work and self determination, but you can change...if you want. It isn't just going to happen. You have to make the concious choice to change your habits. Some little things will probably always be there, but it's along the same lines of....an excuse.
Like....I didn't do well in school because I was dyslexic.
Okay.....so you just accept that and do nothing?
OR...Okay I'm dyslexic that mean I have a challenge I may have to work harder or find a new way to learn that works for me but I refuese to let this challenge limit the rest of my life I can will overcome it....
So to say....I'm this way because of my father (or mother) so I can't change..?
NOPE! Not going to accept it....manily because I refuse to live my parents life!!
And I love my parents by the way, I just don't want to live their life.
My two cents
