You Are Not As Good As You Think

I try to encourage, but maybe today, you need a reminder that will bring out the best in you.

List what you think you are good at:

Marriage?
Parenting?
Communication?
Relationships?
Work Ethic?
Other?

Pick one of those areas. If you think you are pretty good, you have probably stopped growing. In spite of all of us needing: sniff, sniff, just a little word of encouragement, often a swift kick in the butt goes further.

What about the area of family relationships? Remember, you can buy your kids up to about age 11 or 12. You will be a hero, particularly if you can find Chuck E. Cheese. You can make your wife an action item on your to do list, and brag to others about your date nights. Take another look, those relationships need work. You are not doing as good as you think you are. I know I am not.
