Paying Attention to the Little Things



Yesterday, I told my son that he needs to pay careful attention to what he is doing and reading. I also told him that there are adults who do not pay attention to anything that they do. They do a mediocre job when asked to do something and even when they volunteer, it is still not up to par.

It is frustrating dealing with people who behave like that and unfortunately, in today's crazy world, there is a lot of mediocrity out there. We get in from the teachers, employees, students, churches etc. It is sad that no one prides themselves in a job well done anymore. Things will never be perfect, however, we have to strive do well when we say we will do something.

I look at our children today and it's a fight to get them to do the right thing. You have to fight with the adults to do the right thing. So the present is shady and the future really does not seem that bright if we maintain this stance. What makes it worse is that no one wants to be guided or disciplined. How can we put up with these behaviors? When you try to correct people, they take it personal. However, rules are meant to be followed otherwise it would be total chaos in the world.

Each one of us can take a step to make the right decision or to utter a positive word to someone going down the wrong path. Do what you can to inspire someone.
