Winner and Loser

Posted by dailytots | 11:42 PM | | 0 comments »

We have met a person who is success in everything he does. And there are others - never seem to be able to get started now matter how much help they have. Why is it that some people grab them with both hands, while others let them drop through their fingers?

One reason perhaps is our own lack of confidence. We can be our own worst enemy and put huge obstacles in the way of our own progress. Often time it our brains that start telling us :

  • You are a loser - you can't win

  • You can't do it

  • Cannot be done

  • Too late - too early

  • Too young - too old
  • Too rich - too poo

  • Nobody will listen to you

We are born with a winning chance, but often times we are faced with disappointments and they get recorded in our brains preventing us from taking the chances and limiting our initiative causing dissatifaction. In every situation it is our choice as to whether we wish to become a winner or loser. The more we talk and act like a winner, the more we winner oriented we will become.

BE A WINNER AND NOT A LOSER

The Most Valuable Moments in Your Child's Day by Rod Robison

With the demands of daily life and parenthood comes the challenge of setting priorities. By zeroing in on the essentials and not being overly concerned with the non-essentials we not only avoid unnecessary conflict with our kids, we avoid needless stress in our lives as well. And, as a result, we make it easier for everyone in the family to concentrate their efforts on the issues that really count for eternity. Sometimes the most important things we do are the simplest. One of the most effective times of day for parent-child relationships is bedtime. During "tuck in time" there are fewer distractions, especially if lights are out. And your time with them in those moments will be the last thing they experience before they drift off to sleep. Some child development specialists tell us that whatever a child is thinking about just before sleep will tend to stay with him subconsciously during the night. Why not make those special moments a time of bonding with your child? And, better yet, why not make it a three-way bonding between you, your child, and God? First, if there are any unresolved conflicts between you and you child they should be resolved before bedtime. God tells us in His word that we should not let the "sun go down on [our] anger." Try to avoid resurrecting an old argument. Be loving in your attempt to bring whatever issue it is to a point of resolution. And, most importantly, don't be afraid to say "I'm sorry" (and mean it) if you are at fault. Finally, take a few moments to pray for your child. Try to avoid using your prayer as an opportunity to "preach" to your child, but don't hesitate to mention issues you and your child are working on to your Heavenly Father. He wants your relationship to be the best it can be, so bring Him in on the issue. Pray specifically for your child rather than try to "pray around the world." Here are a few ideas of what you can pray for: Thank God for giving her to you. Ask Him for guidance for you as you try to be an example to her. Pray for her future husband that he will grow to be a godly man. Pray that your relationship with each other will be loving and kind. Pray that she will "hate the things that God hates and love the things that He loves." Pray that she will grow each day to be more and more like Jesus. I personally believe that no child (even into the teen years) is too old for prayer before bedtime. It's easy to miss these very precious opportunities God gives us parents each night. But they slip away all too soon, never to return. So grasp those moments while they're here. And, more than likely, when your child is an adult he or she will look back at bedtime with Mom and Dad with longing nostalgia.
