EP 25 | Want the world to teach our children about work ethic? No thank you.
As we look forward to our goals of the New Year, it’s important to reflect on the fact that everything doesn’t come with instant gratification as our world may falsely tell us. Sometimes we can think everything should come with ease, especially our prayers, hopes, and dreams. God surely offers us blessings, but we can’t forget what it requires of us: steadfastness, perseverance, sacrifice. Values that are not often highlighted in our society, but ones we must not neglect teaching and modeling.
Join me in this important conversation and leave with 5 meaningful prompts to take back to your family to continue the conversation.
What is required for us to get to the goal we want to achieve and what is required for us to maintain it? What steps do we need to take to get there? What values have to be seen and cultivate? What do we want to achieve as a family?
Discuss the values that we think must be achieved and displayed and practiced over and over to achieve our goal. How are they modeled in society over and over? Is the world nurturing them or do you fight upstream?
If we agree “getting to the top” comes with consequences, what are the positive and negative sides of this accomplishment? What consequences come with our decision to keep reaching for our goals?
What does the world around us say about “work” and work ethics? Compare and contrast what my family and the world say.
Let’s share what habits we need to put in place to overcome any limiting beliefs we have about ourselves or things that might hold us back.
