Episode 46 – You & Your Whole Generation

Todays episode is about the challenges and misconceptions of breaking generational curses. And by any means money is not the answer, it can’t be. If a person gets off drugs or whatever the curse is for that generation. If you can remember the curse you are still part of it.

This is not downing any one’s’ accomplishments at all, conversely it’s just to call some people’s attention to the future you. In a word, breaking generational curses is huge responsibility. It will not be easy and it requires you to talk to people you may not like, but the future is the goal. Let’s be clear, this is really only for people that want to see the future with them in it. Meaning, if you pass knowledge in this world you are always here. In my family, they still talk about my great grandfather. Even after all of these years. A story of his exploits would make a very good western. Besides, if there is no family to tell about him we lose a hero, someone that we came from who was strong.

Lastly, engage with family now just to talk about. Everyone will not be on board. Do not ridicule those who chooses not to be part of this family thing, preferably celebrate those that show up. In spite of businesses failing or prospering, the children are watching. Take your time and explain to them the losses and wins, the decision making. You do not have to make money to WIN. Just know what you’re playing for and make that the priority. Find happiness in seeing your kids grow strong and never having to go through what you went through. Breaking generational curses.
