Learning the art of manifestation
If that is the case, don't you think you ought to learn it for ourselves and then teach our children. Hell, yeah! So here's a fabulous experience that I enjoyed recently. Talk about ask and you shall receive, it still astonishes me how the universe conspires to manifest what you desire...provided you take the correct steps.
About 6 weeks ago, I sent one text to several dozen people on my mobile phone directly. It was requesting help in promoting my newly launched Amazing Dads CD program. I was absolutely delighted at the positive response from them all.
However, there was one person who went much further, Errol, who just blew my socks off. Errol wanted to know what Amazing Dads was about. So I told him it's a audio program which is part of the Amazing Dads Weekend Workshop for dads who want to build an inspirational relationship with their child. Errol asked if I received an government funding for that. I dismissed the idea as I wasn't much of an expert, let alone have the patience, to apply for government funding. That's when Errol stepped in. That was his area of expertise.
Over the next few weeks, Errol managed to create a meeting between us and a national charity that works with young dads. The aim was to run one pilot program with them in London. The charity loved the whole concept that they want to take it nationwide as soon as possible. Here's the bizarre thing: that was the precise intention I had set myself: Amazing Dads Weekends be delivered throughout the country.
Instead of me gaining a few hundred pounds from the workshop, 2009 will bring in a six-figure sum of money from just one project. And how did I do that? By using the universal law of creation called 'intention'. How powerful is that when you can set yourself an intention so big and see it manifest before your eyes?
Will I be thanking my mentors and team for their teachings and support? Hell, yeah!
BTW If you would like to meet my favourite mentor for manifestation, Naomi Sesay, then you can do so this coming Tuesday evening on my ship, the HMS President, in London. Just make sure you register online to get your reduced ticket price of £10 (type in LP1786 as your VIP Code)

Do you have a story to tell?
However, there is a new breed of man who does want to know how to build better relationships with their child. How do I know? Because of the wonderful response I'm getting from the recently launched Amazing Dads audio program, which is helping so many dads to build an inspirational relationship with their child.
However, I need more help to get this message of hope out there to children across the world. And I need your help. I am currently writing a book on Amazing Dads. If you have a story you'd like to share about a father-child relationship in this book, then please drop me a line. You don't have to be a father. You can be a mother, a sister, brother, daughter, son, etc. What I'm looking for are stories of inspiration. Please contact me by email - thepersuader@harunrabbani.com.
Many thanks for your help!

Celebrating your Child's Success
The contrast between the relationship between my father and me and that between my children and myself is as stark as you can get. As a child, the communication between my father and I was on a 'need-to-know' basis. Therefore, he ended up knowing nothing of me and little about my life. That was not the kind of relationship I wanted with my children.
My children and I are the best of friends and we share so much joy together about all the little things as well as the bog ones. Yesterday, for example, my 8 year old and 6 year old sons ended a weeklong training at a local soccer school. Being the mad football fans that they are, this was pure bliss for them. Unfortunately, due to the distance they live from where they live and where I live, it wasn't possible for me to attend the training. Nonetheless, yesterday it was 'graduation day' from the school. Come hell or high water, I had to be there.
You should have seen the looks on their face when I turned up just before their graduation. It was priceless. Their sense of pride and accomplishment was so endearing...and they could show it all off to their dad. These are moments of inspiration that are irreplaceable. Your child will cherish this for life.
So think about how much you celebrate your child's success. Where and when do you give your attention? When they've done well or when they've done something that disappointed you? When your attention stays focused on the good stuff, they'll end up doing more of it. Today, make a list of 7 things you're going to celebrate with your child over the next 7 days. AND TAKE ACTION ON IT!
To your parenting success!

Honouring the mother as a single dad
Wow! That's a big one to answer. However, let me give you my take on it. Every woman (and man) has two basic needs - to experience love (give and receive) and to feel a sense of significance. This is no less different for your ex-wife/partner. No matter how much you get along or otherwise, you and your ex still have those foundational human needs.
If you have young, impressionable children, it's even more imperative to support your ex's needs. However, there comes a point when, perhaps you cannot support them directly because of unsurmountable pressure from your ex or unreasonable requests. Say, for example, she is demanding money far in excess of your ability to earn; and she threatens to use your children as pawn. In such circumstances, you have little power to help her.
Nonetheless, you can still support her remotely. We are all connected beings only separated by the limitations we hold in our heads. Bearing this in mind, set a positive intention for your ex with total conviction and unconditional love. If she's lashing out or being unreasonable, it's likely she is feeling insecure and afraid. Having a positive intention for her WILL ease some of the pain she's feeling. In turn, the need to lash out at you will be reduced.
This is precisely what I do when I drop my children off to their mother's house. The three of us set the intention that she will be pleasant to us and very caring when we arrive at her doorstep. Lo and behold! It works. A far cry from the reception we used to get.
So, you can still honour your ex-wife/partner even when she doesn't know it. It is your intentions that create your reality. The person who has the greatest certainty will always rule over the intentional field.

What an exciting development!
There were two things that all my work have in common. Results and fun. Many of my former students became champions and high acheivers in their respective fields. However, there is also another common theme that's not so admirable. 85% of the children with the behavioural challenges have a poor relationship or even no relationship with their dads. No matter how much work an inspirational speaker/trainer or teachers do with young people, one of the most powerful influencers in a child's life is their dad. There is no substitute.
That's exactly why I've been working away at creating an education program that will encourage dads and help them to evolve themselves as inspirational role models for their children. The first program that is available to all dads (and mums, too) is the new 'Amazing Dads' audio CD program. As it's so difficult to get everything into one 60-minute CD, I've bundled a whole lot of other free bonus gifts to help dads all over the world.
The message is loud and clear. If you want to make a difference to the future of the world you're living in, begin with creating better leaders of the world - the children...your children. If you want to transform the lives of your children, begin the transformation of your life first. Children do as you do...not as you say.
Keep shining!

Dads at Birthday Parties
There was one thing though that stuck out like a sore thumb for me. All the mums (14 in total) of the children were present at the party, but other than my brother-in-law and me, not one of the children were accompanied by their dads.
Could it be that all the dads were at work? (The party was from 4.30pm till 7pm.) Are birthday parties not so important enough for dads to attend? Would children prefer to not have their dads around at parties?
To be honest, I don't have an answer. But I do know this much: Every experience your child has involves an overflow of emotions and feelings. During peak events (positive or negative ones), permanent emotions are created which become part of a child's physiological make-up. Those molecules of emotion are spread throughout different parts of the body and are part of, what we call, the 'mind'.
In other words, when your child is experiencing a peak state, they will subconsciously associate those 'happy' moments with all that is going on in their environment and the activities they're doing with the people they're doing it with. As a dad, even if you were doing no more than being present when your child is enjoying the fun with their friends, they will associate the feelings of 'fun' with you.
And the more often you're present when they're having a fun time (especially when they're below the age of 7 or 8), the more he/she will associate fun with you throughout their life. What a powerful way to build an inspirational relationship with your child!!!

Sunday, 8 June 2008
Earlier this afternoon, I was at Euston train station in London with my friend, Naomi, returning from Watford. As we crossed the ticket barriers, there was a lot of noise and scuffles around one man. He was bleeding profusely from his nose. We managed to make out that somebody had head-butted this guy and ran off to get on the train.
A few minutes later, after the police finally managed to arrive, they escorted a man in his early-mid thirties from the train back into the station. Walking on either side of him were two young children - a boy aged about 4 and a girl of 6 years. The father of the two children was shouting and swearing profanities and was demanding to be released because he was with his children.
As he was resisting so much, the police cuffed the man who started shouting and swearing even more. At this point, his daughter and son started screaming for the police to let him go. In that instant, almost every onlooker stopped to find out what was going on. Both Naomi and I felt our hearts jump out at the children's screaming and anguish. Finally, more police arrived, including one woman officer. They managed to calm the man down and she eventually got the children to calm down too.
It transpired that the father of the children was rushing to get to his train when a passenger going the opposite way got in his way. They both tried squeezing through a ticket barrier - one with a big suitcase and the other with two children. Rather than let the other through, the father head-butted the other passenger, probably breaking his nose in the process.
What's going on that:
1. People are so rushed that they do not notice other children and give way?
2. A father cares not in the least about gross violence and anger towards another fellow human being?
3. A father has so little consciousness that he thinks nothing of the impact his profanities and physical actions will have on his children.
Given the nature of his daughter's scream, I have no doubt that this poor girl was traumatised and will be so from this horrid experience.This just reinforces my observation in the work that I do with teens and young adults. One of the prime reason so many young people have behavioural issues is because of the kind of relationship they have with their dads.
There are far too many dads playing a deadbeat role instead of a conscious role in their children's lives. I truly hope the work we're doing through the likes of my 'Amazing Dads' CD programme and Naomi Sesay's Conscious Parenting (both released this week) and workshops reaches the likes of the father we witnessed at Euston Station.
As dads, we are responsible for not just the well-being of our children today, but also the impact they have as future leaders. Perhaps we should be mindful of the way we think and behave.
