Taking a Lesson Learned in The Business World to Parenting
Posted by PatrickTalley
…i work in the energy sector…this year has been tough economically for that sector…
…it has caused many companies to shift attention from previous objectives…when the economy is going great guns and all is flush—companies have a tendancy to focus on what is urgent as opposed to what is most important…
…sort of a “make hay while the sun shines”…
…when things slow down these same companies often turn attention to what is most important…
…..they focus on what is most important as opposed to what is most urgent…
..there may certainly be a lesson to be learned here in parenting….how often do we focus on what is urgent and take our eye off what is most important…..
…we might do well to keep our eye on the important throughout all of the noise level of the urgent…
….this lesson from the business world could be taken to all of our relationships; not just with our children but with our spouses, significant others, family and friends….
…and obvioulsy with the relationship we have with SELF….
…happy parenting…
