When Michael Jordan did not make his Varsity basketball team, his Mother did NOT:
1) complain to the school
2) call the Coach
3) demand a meeting with the AD
4) transfer schools
5) suggest MJ "take a year off" from the JV basketball team.
She simply told Michael, 'get in the gym and work harder'.
Now he's the greatest basketball player of all time. 🐐
Imagine what kids, and society, would become if more parents were like Deloris Jordan. Rather than making excuses and complaining under the guise of 'just being their kid's advocate, encouraging them to solve their own problems creates opportunities for learning and growth.
Be an advocate for your child, but also allow them to be their own advocate. Their work will speak for them.
When things aren't going your way, look for things within your control that can change it.
The world needs strong men 💪

God told Adam and Eve they could eat from all the trees of the garden except one. So what did the serpent do? Got them to focus on the one they couldn’t. God calls us to an abundance mindset to see all we have while evil tries to get us to focus on what we lack.
