Chapter 3 - Your Future Family

Your future family will become THE MOST important thing in the world to you. Above everything
else. That’s why I’m presenting it to you before all other things. So it is all laid out for you and all
other chapters that follow will fall into place and unfold perfectly for you.

Everything you do NOW and all choices you make NOW will impact what kind of family you have
later on, or if you even have one. I'm not gonna ask you what KIND of family you want, because everyone basically wants the same kind of family life...

• Adoring Loving Spouse with a Great Sexlife.
• Great Jobs
• 2.5 Kids
• 1 Dog
• 1 Cat
• 2 Cars
• House in the burbs with a big backyard and some kind of a pool (Okay Kelly Ripa wants a Condo in
• the city, but that's HER)
• Nice Neighbors
• Good Schools
• Playdates for the kids
• Romantic Nights Out
• and
• Family Vacations to Disney World and Camping

Of course there are slight variations per your tastes, but you get the picture, right? Good!
Forget taping the picture of the girl in the hot body in the bikini on the fridge to give you the
willpower to stay on your diet before summer. Forget putting posters of Sports Stars, Rock Stars
or Teen TV Actors on your bedroom walls. Okay a few are okay, but don't overdo it!

I want you to keep your mind always on the kind of family you want and deserve. Go and get some
magazines and poster board and make a Future Family Poster instead if you want. But keep your
mind on that future family, okay?

This time of your life when you are young is so short. Even though it FEELS like everything you go
through now is so magnified and dramatic, it is such a teensy part of life... The time from age 20 on is REAL LIFE. And its the best part if you make decisions wisely and make good choices...

A STRONG family is so important, and will be important in your life for a myriad of reasons. A
STRONG family will sustain you thru EVERY obstacle that comes up, deaths, floods, the stillborn
birth of a baby, the diagnosis of juvenile cancer of one of your children. Or bearing a child who is diagnosed Autistic or Downs Syndrome.

A STRONG family will repel a spouse from CHEATING on the other or sustaining a job loss or health
issues.

The strength of your family relies on several things, but most of all it relies on the state of your
"Marriage" or Commitment to your Significant Other and how truly compatible you are.

I once called my favorite teacher on the phone and went to see her at home several years after I
had left school. She was now a School Principal at a local school. She told me that being a Principal
was always her goal, "I wanted that for myself...," she said. That always stuck in my head, and I
think I cried a little on the drive home but didn't understand why I was crying at the time. The fact
was that no one in my life had ever asked me what I wanted or what my goals were in life, struck a
chord in me. I was expected to do nothing, be nothing and no one at home cared or gave me a
voice or wanted to listen...

I am giving YOU a voice and although I'm not there to hear you personally, I still want to hear you
in spirit and I am asking YOU

"What do YOU want for you?"

Do you want the:

• Adoring Loving Spouse with a Great Sexlife.
• Great Jobs
• 2.5 Kids
• 1 Dog
• 1 Cat
• 2 Cars
• House in the burbs with a big backyard and some kind of a pool
• Nice Neighbors
• Good Schools
• Playdates for the kids
• Romantic Nights Out
• and
• Family Vacations to Disney World and Camping??????????

Is that what you really want?

Well lets talk about YOU first...
