My All-Star Daughter – Keep Good Going
When you have kids, it makes you stop and think about what you’re doing in the world. It reminds you that they’re watching all the time, so it encourages you to be the kind of person you want them to be.
It’s that kind of support that leads to great kids who become fabulous leaders out in the real world once they leave your nest. But to get there, they made need a little extra help. The video above, My All-Star Daughter, shares the story of a set of parents who have gone the extra-mile to help her realize her dreams and follow her passion. As parents, my husband and I were happy to do the same. When our youngest child graduated from college we supported him financially so he could afford to take an internship that eventually led him to a full-time job in his chosen profession.
Without our support, he likely would have had to do what most new college graduates are forced to do; take a job with benefits and pay to support himself, even if it isn’t the job he spent four years of training to do. We continue to support his goals and dreams and those of his brother who travels the world, because it’s both our duty and privilege as their parents.
What Does it Mean to Keep Good Going?
Keep Good Going Life Lessons are little nuggets of wisdom or insights that can be profound truths that can be simple or weighty, but they’re created from life experiences. It’s the notion that supports the perpetuation of personal good. In doing so, it will positively affect everyone. New York Life encourages the importance of keeping good going by providing financial and life insurance products that will allow your children and spouse to flourish.
For me that means that because we have our future secured, it’s easier to help our children out now so that they can work to secure their own future as well. We have life insurance to make sure we don’t leave behind a financial burden for our children and investments to be sure we’re taken care of in our old age to prevent imposing on them during that time as well.

I try to encourage my family to follow their dreams and never give up.
Deb, that’s wonderful! Having dreams and goals help make life more satisfying for sure.
It’s nice to keep good going, I believe you should always support and encourage your kids to do what they want and to try aiding them in following their dreams. It’s always an amazing thing to see when your kids accomplish things.
So true! Every time I see my son in his uniform I feel so much pride and joy. He puts pictures of his “office” on Facebook which are pictures from inside a State Park and he shares how much he loves it. It brings a tear to my eye every sing time.
Loved this post, what a great message. It is amazing what kids can accomplish with a little help!
Thanks Debra! My sons are amazing, I couldn’t be more proud of the two of them.
What an awesome cause. I try to keep good going every day!
Thanks Krystal! It’s important to create fabulous human beings to send out into the world.
Its incredible because the good things you did for your children allowed them to put good things out into the world.
Exactly! When we help create healthy and happy young adults, we improve the world.
I actually keep good going in my home, with my kids. I did not have a supportive home when I was growing up and it affected me terribly as an adult. I vowed to do things differently with my kids by encouraging them and building them up so they will be successful adults.
I lead two Girl Scout troops and that is how I keep good going. Having the chance to mentor girls is an amazing thing.
Congratulations! What an awesome job, both mother and daughter! You must be so proud 🙂
I also keep going for my children! I love watching the video!
Security for your children is always such a weight lifter. It’s our ultimate goal. I keep going for my son. To make sure he gets the best and most out of life.
