Pondering....

        We have become a society of me first! We have taught our kids that we owe them, that everyone is entitled to the same things, even if they do not work for it! I do not understand how the idea that we all have the right to work toward success has become the right to success, whether or not you work for it! How can our children learn to achieve if they never fail? Children have been taught they will be taken care of ,even as adults,even if they sit at home and do not even TRY to work or look after their selves! If something happens in our country, if we lose the success and wealth we have, how will they survive? A lot of people these days have no clue on how to make it in today's world,let's not even think about making it in a trying time! Everything is based on convenience, and quick fixes. If we lost our sources of power, if the government failed, how would your family make it? Could they cook with out power? Do they have things to cook? Could they have sources of heat? Do they know how to protect themselves? It is time to wake up! Learn to depend on ourselves not everyone else. To be responsible for our own actions, not blame everyone and everything else but ourselves! Do not get me wrong, I do believe in helping others, I do think we should help feed and clothe those who are less fortunate than we are, but I also believe you should TRY to help yourself too.It worries me that there are a large group of people with blinders on!We need to equip our children with the ability to succeed in all types of situations! To teach them not to take things for granted, to give a helping hand when needed and to accept help when they need it! To not blame everyone else for their issues! Let them realize that everyone has successes and everyone has failures, it is how we learn, and how we gain experience that we need, to lean ourselves and to help those who are going through similar things. Always be willing to learn, to help others, and to teach others to help themselves!
