You don\u2019t give up. For me. I won\u2019t give up for you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

1st of all and most important. I love you! I will never stop loving you and I will always be here for you, no matter what you have done or what is on your mind, I will never stop loving you, I am here to support and guide you in life and make you into the capable and reliable Man you want to be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


This means:
Please always\u2026 ask me when you need help\u2026 when you need advice or even if you just want to be close to me for comfort, security and love. It was not my wish for us to sometimes live apart but emotionally, I am always here for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


In life, we can only play the cards we are dealt. Over time, I have learnt that both in good times and in bad times, \u2018this time too shall pass\u2019 and this means we need to play our cards to the best of our ability, even when we are angry, anxious or impatient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


To do this:
Try to be \u2018the calmest person in the storm\u2019 because you will learn that when you \u2018act in haste, you can repent in leisure\u2019 and making decisions triggered by emotions and feelings can have heavy fees in the school of life.
\u00a0Understand and embrace that \u2018no-one is perfect\u2019 and you do not need to be perfect for me, for yourself or anyone. Just be you, it is more than enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


\u2018Learn how to learn\u2019 and follow your curiosity. You are a bright boy and you will be a bright adult, never doubt your ability, just know that one day you will recognise that everything meaningful in your life requires hard work and some pain to achieve it or appreciate it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n


Never give up. When you want to give up, think of me. I am here with you and saying try again why not what do you have to lose? Sometimes you will be successful and other times you will fail and learn. In both scenarios you are a winner, so always try and never give up. I believe in you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you can dream it, visualise it, feel it emotionally and you show patience and tenacity\u00a0 to receive it, then you are going fly above your peers.
Fail and keep trying with everything in your heart and in your soul. The lessons from failing will make you the person you are meant to become. You will overcome all your challengers, \u2018don\u2019t wish it was easier, wish to be stronger\u2019.\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You stand tall.\u00a0 Be proud, you are unique, you are you and I love you ! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Be you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n
