“Believe in yourself and all that you are. Know that there is something inside you that is greater than any obstacle.” —Christian D. Larson

All of us have made mistakes in one form or another, each one of those mistakes comes with a different consequence, some good, some bad, and some that don’t show up until years later.

Don’t let the noise of others opinions drown out your own inner voice - steve jobs

How do I know what to believe?

It’s hard to say. We live in a day and age where we have access to multiple resources especially when it comes to online. Our information is just a click away. We are able to search for any type of information we want good or bad regardless of how factual or good the source is. 

• Do your own research
  • Pick a topic
  • Ask questions
  • Analyze what you find
• Have healthy conversations
  • Our society is awful at this, we don’t do this anymore
  • We believe that people who have different opinions, beliefs or views than us are evil, uninformed bigots who hate us
  • Sit down and have meaningful conversations with someone that has different views
    • Be willing to listen
    • Be willing to speak
    • Ask questions
    • Be honest 
    • Be polite
• Don’t believe everything you read or hear
  • Most of us depend on specific social media sites and influencers, news sources, and radio shows to get our information
  • First of all, social media is not a good source to get your information, most of the time.
  • Take a step back if you question something
  • We can’t believe everything, we are becoming too gullible
  • It’s ok to question things
• Check out more than one source
  • Use multiple sources, don’t just depend on one place
  • Believe it or not, people do lie
  • There’s a local news station in my state that I’ve noticed is very one-sided, so I’ve started going elsewhere to confirm their stories they lost credibility for me

Use these things to draw your own conclusions.

Society is ruining our children.

No one knows your children better than you do. 
 
We need to be the PLANTER of the lives of our children:

Protect and Prepare - I couldn’t choose just one. We need to protect our children to the best of our ability and prepare them for the future.  

Love -  Love our children unconditionally even when we don’t agree with their life choices or actions. Our children need to know that they are loved and will always be loved.

Assure - Positively dispel any doubts our children may have. Most of the time things work out in the end, even if it’s not the ending we are looking for. Even as adults we need a little reassurance here and there

Nurture - we need to always care for and encourage the growth of our children. We also need to make sure our children are taken care of by having food, shelter, and protection.

Teach - We need to teach our kids the best we can and give them the freedom to make their own choices as well. By doing so our kids will learn with every choice made there is a consequence whether it’s good or bad. 

Encourage - We need to support our children and show that we have confidence in them. I believe this can really help bring out their strengths.

Recognize - always acknowledge our children and make sure they are appreciated.
