Teaching Good Things, Practical Skills for Real Life

Equipping Families with Practical Skills for Real Life!

An Interest or a Commitment?

Emma (16), is learning all kinds of business skills with her Mary Kay endeavor.  I appreciate that MK gives such good training, because they want need you to be successful at business. Because she is technically too young to be a consultant it is all done in my name, so I go with her to these meetings, which means I am learning a lot too!

A statement made last night concerning success:

“The difference between

an interest

and

a commitment

is doing what you need to,

even when you don’t feel like it.”

This is so true and it applies to all of life! Whether you want to succeed at business, weight loss,  money management, relationships…anything, you have to be committed.

What do you have an interest in? Do you want to have a better marriage, a more peaceful home, better behaved children? Then what will you commit yourself to do, even if you don’t feel like it?

Do you want to learn how to do a skill? Do you want to be good at it? Do you want your children to learn practical skills? It is up to you to not just want it, but to commit to it!  No more excuses!

Failure is only a stepping stone to success if you are committed!

Titus 2:3 says that we are to be "...teachers of good things...". We believe that part of these good things are practical skills that we all need in every day life to care for our family and neighbors. One of our primary responsibilities as parents is equip our children with the skills and tools to one day be productive, well rounded adults. Children need to be exposed to many different areas of work. Not only should they know how to work, but they should want to work. May the favor of the Lord our God rest upon us; establish the work of our hands for us- yes, establish the work of our hands. Psalm 90:17

    Well said! So the question is – am I really committed to something – or just interested.
