Encouraging the Encouragers

111: Be the TRANSITIONAL CHARACTER for your family... and your generational line! (Whew! This concept got me thinking!!! So let's talk about it!)

Whew!

Have you ever come across a concept or a phrase and it just stuck with you???  As the author Robert Fulghum once described it as "An idea that sticks like a burr to your mental sock!"

Well... THAT happened to me recently when I came across the phrase: "A Transitional Character."

It was coined by the late Carlfred Broderick who was a well-respected marriage and family scholar at the University of Southern California.

Broderick described it this way: 

"A 'Transitional Character' is one who, in a single generation, changes the entire course of a lineage."

Now... he was quick to point out that those changes might be for good or ill.  BUT... as an example... he pointed to a number of scenarios where someone who grew up in an abusive and/or emotionally destructive environment but they were somehow able to find a way to shift things and not pass that on to THEIR children. 

As Broderick was know for saying, "They break the mold."

Yup... LOVE that.

How about YOU?

What if you were the TRANSITIONAL CHARACTER in YOUR line?

What if you broke off:

  • fear
  • limited thinking
  • lack
  • timidity
  • What if you were able to replace it with:

    • love
    • hope
    • strength
    • abundance
    • confidence
    • What if?

      Yeah... let's talk about THAT?
