Parents: Don't Screw-up Your Kids

I was recently in Pacific Beach, California and was fortunate to have a great hotel room overlooking the ocean and boardwalk...I thought. Well, truly it was a blessing, but I was haunted by watching so many parents with their little children, who didn't seem to have mastered parenthood at all. So here is what I saw. A perfect looking Mom and Dad walking the expensive stroller down the boardwalk, crammed with toys, food, blankets, umbrellas etc. Their two-something year old little boy was throwing a tantrum wanting out of his straps holding him into the stroller. The frustrated Mom walks to the front of the stroller, puts her face about ten inches from the screaming little boy and she started screaming, "I said to stop this right now! You are going to sit there and like it! Do you hear me?!!" Dad, looking embarrassed on the boardwalk walks up to the stroller, unhooked the little kicking guy, places him on his shoulder, and begins to pat the little whimpering boy on the back. This infuriated Mom and she started yelling, "this is why he is so awful! You spoil him rotten and never support me!!" Oh my goodness!!! And we think we know how to get world peace?.... So here is the next seen. I was in Colorado for a family reunion. I watched my nephew notice, across the room, his little thirteen-month-old throwing a fit because she didn't want to be held by another relative. He calmly walked over and asked if the relative needed a little help. She willingly released the crying baby to her daddy. Dad pulled his phone from his pocket and showed the baby a picture of herself. She immediately smiled and within seconds a began laughing. I know you are smart enough to see the wisdom within these two stories and how they demonstrate StarShine Guiding Principle #8: Practice Connect versus Convince; Exercise Compassion versus Judgement, Love versus Fear Every parent needs parent training. We don't know what we are doing until we have already made a lifetime of mistakes. Little behavioral changes completely dissolves stress for everyone, including those watching! We only know what we know.. And that makes us act how we act. .....God blesses you. Trish McCarty

3rd Day In Studying Think and Grow Rich

Today's principle having to do with complete focus of your goals reminds me NOT to listen to news or other things that cause me to lose focus. I told the StarShine kids yesterday to stay focused on what you want, NOT on what you don't want--because either way, you just get more of that.

Think and Grow Rich: MasterMind

A few days ago I was invited to attend a CEO's MasterMind session by my friend Chuck Trautman of Gold Crown Marketing which is a part of Dan Kennedy's No BS Marketing of Phoenix. What a group of amazing individuals. I think that there are about ten people in the group and it reminded me of how powerful these MasterMind groups are for mutual support and helping people to achieve their individual dreams. I have been in one for over twenty years but we all became so busy that we stopped meeting. This reminded me again of how important they are.

They are all re-studying the great book, Napoleon Hill's, "Think and Grow Rich" so yesterday Jan and I went to Border's and bought the workbook so that we could do the same thing. That book was written over one hundred years ago and is still responsible for most millionaire's millions. Today's lesson for me, from the first chapter and thinking about StarShine and the teachers and kids, was a reminder to stay focused, no matter what. In my affirmation today in Science of Mind magazine it said "where I was blind, now I see." John 9:25

...Good messages to help the kids to believe what they are having a hard time seeing around them. So many of our kids have such awful lives, we just keep reminding them to believe that if they try hard enough and keep the vision, their lives will for sure change.
