How are you doing? Is your stash of chocolate still holding
strong? How is your homeschool? I have
felt to share something that has come to my mind for my own improvement. I hope it may help you too.
Years ago I read a
game changer book called, “Leadership and Self Deception”. In it they introduce the Pyramid of Change:
There are two parts to this pyramid:
AND
2. How to help things go right.
How do you think the areas
are split? 50/50?
I mentioned before that
It’s like 5/95.
Early this morning I was up with our youngest who hasn’t yet
mastered the sleeping skill. I was
sitting in the rocking chair next to his bed thinking about this lesson. A line from one of President Eyring’s latest
talks came to mind. “She molds living
clay to the shape of her hopes”. You
guys! This is how we help things go
right.
What do you hope for in your home, for your family culture,
for your individual children, for yourself? We need to know this! Once we have
a blueprint for what we want to build, we can start building with purpose!
President Russell M. Nelson has told us this period of trial
won’t last. What will we say when this
is over?
We have been given a gift.
Will we open it or recognize years later that it spoiled in the box?
Here’s what I’m thinking for ways to improve myself:
I will take care of myself spiritually, really well. Then I will take care of myself physically,
the best that I can.
I will show up for my kids each day with a plan to build and
to fortify.
I will focus on what I CAN CONTROL: how I feel, how I act,
what I do with my time.
I will set clear expectations and rewards for my kids that
are suited to their age, skills and how they are handling this situation.
I will structure our time so they have the opportunity to
earn the privileges that come with doing what is expected.
We have the power to help things go right. Do you know what you hope for? How will you mold to the shape of your hopes?
