Never complain, criticize or condemn.
The "Three C's" !!! Think about it a minute, if you never ever complained or criticized your spouse or significant other again, how would this change the dynamic of your relationship? Would they feel more accepted and loved? Would it add a peace to your relationship that didn't exist before? What if your spouse/partner never criticized YOU ever again? What would that do for you? Your kids? Your family?
Give people a hand-up, not a hand-out. Many of us are guilty of trying to "rescue" people. And why? Beacause we think we're going to save them from a painful lesson. However, some lessons are meant to be learned and we ruin the experience a person can gain by interfering. We all know how curious kids can be and what it's like to want to keep them from danger. How many of us have stopped our own kids from touching the hot stove because we don't want them to get burned? If we repeatedly told our kids that they would get hurt if they touched the stove, and they never did do you think it has the same impact as when they touch the pstove and feel the hot on their hands for themselves? A lesson doesn't have to be painful, but sometimes that's where we gain the value of a personal experience. I'm not saying that you should let your kids suffer burns for the sake of a lesson about a hot stove, but you get my point. When my friend ,Tom Meredith, gave me this nugget of advice he gave it to me so that I would remember that there are alot of people out there who are going to need help, and it's important that I sort through the ones who need help I can give them that they can learn from versus those who are looking to get something from me by taking advantage of the situation. (Whatever the "situation"). It's important to help people but make sure that you aren't doing them a disservice by stealing the experience from them.
Treat EVER person you meet like GOLD ... dare to pull out the best in everyone!
To OUR Success!
I am KINGDOM!
