Motherly Wisdom #16: Put the Bills on the Table

 Put the bills on the table,  OPEN, and see what they say. If they say NOTHING pack their bags and see what they say

Put those bills out there for your kids to see,  and say READ THIS, who is handling this? Are you paying for this? Are you helping pay any of this? 

Then SHUT UP! 

Yes, I said it. You don't have time to explain to CHILDREN, how things are being paid, OR NOT, unless they are doing something to help get it paid. 

Children must stay in a child's place. Let me share this to help some of you:

Even if my bills are late, if the lights are on, the heat is on, the roof is still over our heads, WE'RE MAKING IT, by what MAMA has put together or figured out! 

Children get of age and think they can say whatever, but HONEY, they better be ready to move if they don't have any cash to help MAKE IT WORK!! 

So, parents, put the bills on the table.

Getting on POINT!

Sometimes we so fast through life that our head spins. We move according to what  happened and what needs to happen later. NEVER, do we move in the right now. We are always preparing for more (or less) and thinking about the past.

It's time to get to the point.

The point of your life is to live right now and to accept today at its fullest. As a business and life coach, I tell my clients that tomorrow is not here for you, today is; yesterday is no longer your problem, ask for forgiveness and move on. Getting to the point is truly part of what is important in leaving legacies. What does that mean you ask? It means you have to consider you children and possibly your grand children and what values and concepts are you instilling them right now.

Getting to the point of your life, your business and your family starts with re-evaluating what you are doing; what works and what doesnt! You really must write things down and pick them apart piece by piece. Yes, write on paper, not on the IPAD. Yes, write and feel the frustrations you have as you do so. On your paper, at the very top, write GETTING TO THE POINT. Under that write what YOUR POINT is, not what everyone thinks it should be. Under that make a list of what you have been doing in the past year to get to the point. After you have it all written down, take a yellow and a pink highlighter; in yellow highlight the things that have worked in pink mark off the things that dont.

This project needs to be done! We are in the 2nd half of the year and you have to move forward and obtain the wealth that God has promised you. Get to the point of your life right now!
