We have all been taught that ‘Actions have Consequences’ and that has certainly proven true in my life. Most of the time these are negative, due to lack of consideration on my part and not thinking ahead of how my action may reflect on to another person. But, some times those consequences turn in to positives by creating a learning lesson. For example, my son chose not to do his homework and was forced to go to homework detention. He knew that his action would cause that end result, and apparently was willing to accept that consequence. What he didn’t know, was that I would refuse to pick him up and he would have to take the late bus home. My response to the situation changed his behavior as he now knows that I won’t readjust my schedule for his bad action. If we take action to remove negative actions that oppose our sense of well being we will be happier in our lives and able to continue with daily activities with positive and productive results. Take Action, Take Notice, Find your Inner Worth!

That’s awesome that it worked out so well for you! Man, Olivia is not so easily swayed. I was talking to her last night about her unwillingness to do all her chores as expected. She tells me matter of factly to go ahead and ground her because she can find plenty of other things to do than play with electronics. So I say, how about I just take your allowance away then? She tells me, ok that’s fine. And it was in this voice of really not caring at all! UGH!
