Focus on What, How do I do Something!

Focus!

I will admit to you as I do to them it is possible for any of us to lose focus, even Mom.  The big question from them is what do we focus on or the bigger question, WHY?  Good questions, the first or second time ask, right?  No, we should remind ourselves or those we are responsible for many times ; how long you wonder, well as long as it takes until the person can encourage or remind themselves to do the job, project, paper or event!  Share the knowledge.  Train them on how to do as much as possible.

Many young people don't know where to start.  This is frustrating, but the conveniences of today are making us reliant on things or technology, instead of ourselves.  Most people do an internet search to find an answer.  Yahoo has 19,200,000 searches for Survival Guides, Barnes and Noble"s website has over 9,000 items for Survival guides.  Its a growing market for surviving anything; school, wilderness, pregnancy, nursing, hiking, zombies; I think you get the idea.  What are we as parents, grandparents, or guardians passing down to our children. 

If we have skills let's share and teach the children these skills to help them be confidant in the right areas, sports are great for learning skills, but if they aren't in the top 10 percent or they get injured, what else do they have; they will need knowledge in something.  Teach them to cook, teach them to repair cars, or how about sewing, carpentry, even ten basics skills in carpentry or home repair can make a difference in their lives.  

Don't have a trade or skill to teach, then sign up for a class, there a one day classes, to a whole semester.  Many Mom's are in a group, trade skills; you teach her children to bake, and she could teach sewing.  Same with Dads, share the knowledge.  Find a way to teach ourselves and our children skills to survive in this world.  We need to survive, not just against zombies and the wilderness, but with communicating with people, getting a job, taking good care of ourselves.  

Focus!  Focus on what we need to do today the best way possible.  Set them up for success, if they get a new task, train them on it, and give them other resources to use if possible.  Focus on the overall picture, surviving life together with the greatest success possible.  Focus on right now.
