I have the the deepest desire to write for others (I write for myself every day), but I really struggle. Therefore, I avoid. But not anymore! You've lit a fire under me, my friend!

We all need to evaluate our investment portfolios consistently to make sure they are performing as best they can and to make adjustments and different decisions as needed.

I pray with all my might that everyone who reads this will pause and examine whether scarcity or an abundant mental surrounds these two ideas in their own lives- not what we believe to be true but examining if what we believe is what we are living out day-by-day. I am constantly in battle with not taking on an ideology of scarcity. It is such a prevalent aspect of our society...think of advertising, college entrance, wealth, social media and how one person's success is judged or diminished by others. We have got to do better in our thinking if we want to live better. Our kids need us to have an abundant mentality, not a fearful, scarce one.DreaGreenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17117922187246538652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1373578337875164909.post-34503056124412692872019-03-18T16:28:39.759-07:002019-03-18T16:28:39.759-07:00Amen!Amen!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01633109015352388041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1373578337875164909.post-88513294470116738502019-03-18T16:05:39.690-07:002019-03-18T16:05:39.690-07:00I am fairly certain that each generation believes ...I am fairly certain that each generation believes the children of the next generation are less persistent, resilient and able to solve problems, and I am also certain that the observation is true. The more wealthy and educated ee become as a society, I think the more learned helplessness becomes a thing. I know I am not as strong and resilient as my mother and grandmothers, partly because I've not had to manage the things they had to across all the roles of their lives. And the truth is my children may not develop some of the characteristics that I have because their lives are "easier" than ours. Yet, to do for children what they can and ought to do for themselves contributes to this lack in ways unnecessary. I hope we will read this and look for the ways we can to help them grow without making life too easy or difficult for no reason.

Charles Swindoll said, "Everyday we are making deposits into the memory banks of our children," and Frederick Douglass knew "It is eaasier to build strong children than to repair broken men." Susan Hansen understands that what is happening on the outside with a child is indicative of what is going on inside...inside his heart or his head or his soul. And no matter what part is in need- love, patience and keen attention over time is what will be remembered. As I always say, they are not yet who they are going to be... and who they might be depends more on the things you wrote about here than we know! Well-written and much needed.
