Here's the difference between manipulation and motivation: Manipulation influences others to do what makes me happy and in control. Motivation influences others to do what makes them healthy and in self-control.
Let us not be so desperate to maintain our sense of religious superiority that we turn a blind eye to the Greatest Commandments. It is impossible to be considered true Christ followers if we abandon this. #loveGod#loveothers
Epitome of a team player ⬇️
A referee wouldn't allow Andrew Johnson of Buena @brhschiefs to wrestle with a cover over his dreadlocks. It was either an impromptu haircut, or a forfeit. Johnson chose the haircut, then won by sudden victory in OT to help spark Buena to a win.
@ochosidaughter @MikeFrankelSNJ @brhschiefs Indeed. This further proves our society's underwhelming value of our youth. Anyone who sees this as a positive experience is completely out of touch with the social climate of our country.
It is astounding how productive a relationship with young people can be when they believe that they truly seen. Youth work requires acknowledgement of youth, as individuals, to be successful.
I wonder how quickly young people would pass through the "rebellion" phase if we adults focused as much on them as people as we do in their, generally, temporary, proclivities.
