I have 3 boys and a girl. Well, let me rephrase that. I have a man, two boys and a little girl. As a father, my job is to raise these kids to be good men and women of society. And just yesterday, my first born, Heaven, turned 19. How time flies.
Heaven lives with me, here in Los Angeles. Yesterday, I asked him what he wanted to do for his birthday. He said he wanted to drive to his mom's house, which was about 45 miles/72 Kilometers away. And since he now drives his own car, he politely asked me if it was okay to celebrate his birthday with his mom's side of the family. I had no problems with that. And what made me even proud was the fact that he had made the decision for himself.
And that's what everything boiled down to... decision making. Was it good judgement on his part to spend his birthday with his mom? Absolutely. My son lives with me. He doesn't get to see his mom as often as he wants. Yesterday's plan was perfect.
I've read Tony Robbins say that "Good judgement comes from experience. Experience comes from bad judgement." And in order to come up with "judgement", one has to make a decision. And decision making comes with maturity. So get into the hang of it.
Make decisions on a regular basis. The more you do, the better you will become.
