Are You Teaching Children Well?

Affirmations:
I am a powerful and positive role model.
I live what I teach and teach what I live.
I know every thought, word and deed teaches others.
Because there are no secrets, everything I think, say and do makes a difference.
  
Every child learns by watching and listening to their parents, teachers and grandparents.
If we don’t like the behavior of our children, we must take responsibility.
If we don’t like what our kids do or say, it is time to forgive and change our own words and action.
If we think we are good role models, look to what they want on media or peer influences.

Adults must clean up their behavior, language and habits.
It is time to stop swearing in public and in private.
It is time to speak and act and dress respectfully.
It is time to eat well and work hard and live clean and sober.

We must recognize that kids pay attention and learn by observation.
We must take full responsibility for the world we live in.
We must decide if what we say on the phone or in private is appropriate for our kids.
We must choose what kind of friends, media and work we want to engage in.

Everything we do models for children what they want to do.
To grow up means acting like the grownups in our lives.
Children begin playing dress=up and copy their elders from a very young age.
Eating and sleeping habits, the tone of voice, the body posture, the work we do at home all are copied.

The biggest mistake we make is when we forget and neglect to Love.
Whatever we do from anger, teaches and creates more anger.
Whatever we do and teach with fear, creates more fear.
When we remember to forgive ourselves and return to Love, we teach loving kindness.

Our actions creation reactions.
Our love begets more love.
When we judge, criticize and punish, we teach others to judge, criticize and punish.
When we want  a more compassionate and helpful world, we must learn to be ourselves.

When we learn what we really want for our children, we will remember to give it.
When we learn to be what we want to see, we will have what we want.
It takes only the willingness to clean up our own thoughts, words and behavior.
Let us stop judging the world we see and begin to demonstrate with who we “be”.

I am creating a new Resource Center in Middletown, specifically designed to serve youth and families.
It is time for us to give what we know is missing and help where it is needed.
Join me wherever you see the need.
Don’t let their behavior or language fool you, everyone wants respect, kindness and a little love.

Our children are our future.
They must learn the basics from the growups.
They need to learn values and ethics, work, thoughtfulness, creativity and fundamentals from life experience.
You are their teachers.

Let us honor our investment  with our respect, responsibility and cooperation.
Begin today with yourself and your own family and associations.

Can You Maintain What You Have?

Affirmations:
My life is balanced with work and play, creativity and rest.
I take impeccable care of myself with loving thoughts, grateful words, and helpful deeds.
I do what is mine to do.
I honor my inner voice and respect myself.
  
You have too much, when you cannot maintain is well.
You have too much, when it overwhelms you.
You have too much, when things are messy, dirty or broken.
You have too much, when it causes conflict or concern.

Life is easily maintained when we are clear about what works.
Life is easily managed when we have what we are able to care for it all well.
Life is in balance when we take impeccable care of ourselves.
Life is working when everything is in good working order.

If we are not taking care of what we have, we must let go.
If we are not taking care of ourselves, we have too much.
If we are not honoring our agreements, we have made too many.
If we are not living in integrity with our values, we are off purpose.

Much of our lives is about letting go and not accumulating more.
Much of our purpose in life is about finding what is true for us.
Much of our problems in life comes from have too many worries.
Much of our upsets, fears and worries is trying to control too many pieces.

It is valuable to clarify what is ours to do.
It is worthwhile to let go of the pettiness and focus on our highest values.
When we are doing our own calling and living in integrity, what we have takes care of itself.
When we are living with trust and freedom, non judgment and open-mindedness, life simply works.

I stop, listen and look again when it seems there may be a problem.
Every upset is a wakeup call.
Every worry is a lack of trust.
Every unhappiness is a speed bump.

Life plays its part as a clear reflection of where we have gotten off course.
When we pay attention we can see what is not “right” for us and choose again.
When we listen to our inner voice, our intuition or gut feelings, we know ahead of time.
When we neglect to pay attention or honor our inner sense, we experience an upset or block.

Maintaining your home allows you to receive any guest with honor.
Maintaining your car allows you to be available to any need or request.
Maintaining you family allows you to feel safe and secure in their love.
Maintaining your health allows you to trust in your body’s ability to support your life.

Maintain your job with dependable and responsible work.
Maintain your finances with adequate savings and responsible expenditures.
Maintain your relationships with respectful communication and kindness.
Maintain your freedom and trust with keeping your agreements with yourself and others.

 A Good Life requires that we be awake and responsible for all we have and who we are.

Loving us all together, co-creating a better world for everyone.
