True Intention

Every time we talk and he tells me about an action he has taken, I always ask one question:  "What was your intention?"  And every time, I think the answer he gives me is the answer he believes I want to hear.  And rarely the TRUE answer.  I want him to succeed beyond his wildest dreams.  My only hope is that he wants the same for himself.  Yes, I realize he's only 18 yrs old and has a lot of growing to do.  So, I'll sit back and allow Father Time to do what he does.  However, I'll always tell this youngun when he's doin' great.  And when he's totally out of line.  That's the responsibility of the older generation.  Young folks will always need us.  And WE must ALWAYS be there when they do!
