After 40: Happiness is pursuing self fulfilment through material improvement, leisure and the art of living

Spoiling your kids now you'll end up taking care of your grand kids!
Teach your kids to be responsible and independent you'll end up spoiling your grand kids.
Too much of it ~ you'll end up with zero grandkids.
Look around, this is the reality.

As a child, you were a blank canvas. You were impressionable, happy, and accepting.

You had no reason to believe the external world was out to hurt you in any way. Gradually, you learned to function in the world based on what you were taught by your parents, family members, friends, teachers, and others with whom you came in contact.

Of course, many people were WELL INTENTIONED.
However, that DOESN'T mean what they taught you was ALWAYS RIGHT. The fact is, nobody is ever always right.

As a child, you accepted much of what you were told, right or wrong. Your identity became the good and the bad parts of how other people influenced you. The unfortunate thing is that you were defenseless. Your critical thinking skills did not exist to give you the tools you needed to survive in the world.

As you grew older, you began to confirm your identity. If someone said you weren’t a good student or a lousy athlete, that became a part of your identity. You still didn’t have the capacity to disavow what you were being told. You grew into adulthood, and you carried with you these beliefs about yourself. Your identity had taken root. Your limitations became a part of you, and because they were so ingrained, you weren’t even sure where they came from.

That’s a lot of baggage to lug around, isn’t it?

By the time you were old enough and able to question your identity, you were living with the identity you had adopted at a time when you didn’t have a choice. Of course, this assumes you’re even aware of how your identity impacts you. Many people simply go through life, screwed up and unsuccessful, and never quite knowing why.
