I would like to share a self-help book Success on Your Own Terms: The Complete Workbook by James B. Rosseau I received a physical copy of for this review. Inside this post are my affiliate links if you click on the links and make a purchase I will make a small percentage from the products you purchase.
I am a firm believer that when you turn 16 you work or go to school. You will not spend all day sleeping and eating and its not my job to take care of you but to prepare you for the Word. With David’s son Travis he never wanted to work or follow the rules and ended up in Prison. I don’t want to see that happening with Charlie.
This Summer is driving me to want a drink more and more. Charlie is 15 and all he wants to do is stay in his room on his game or sleeping. Charlie doesn’t want to eat the way he should and most of the time lives on junk food. I hate to admit it but Charlie talks worse than a sailor. School is done sporadically, and I am at my wits end.
Charlie needs to be back in Public School or Boot Camp but neither David or Charlie thinks so. I’ve given Charlie a job on a silver platter than Charlie only does half-way. Every time I turn around, he is asking for money. I am don either things change, or I am gone. My heath means more to me than all of this stress.
To help me prepare for what I need to do I’ve been using the 6 steps you will find in Success on Your Own Terms: The Complete Workbook I plan on adding to our Homeschool Home Economics class this year which I plan on David teaching Charlie so I can get a break and work on me. Please PRAY for our family because if things don’t change soon, I don’t know what is going to happen.
About:
First and foremost, you will use this workbook within the context of being the very best you possible. I am a strong believer in my Christian faith and believe that we are all designed and called to fulfill a purpose. Not everyone is going to applaud you along the way as you fulfill that purpose. You have to create the expectation of success so that you have motivation to draw from as you move forward. Find comfort in committing to and fulfilling the promises you make to yourself. Others can’t run the race for you. You can only run it for yourself.
If that means turning around at the “Finish” line and being the only one there to pat your back, then go on and pat it! I encourage you to begin this workbook, and commit to making and keeping these habits, based on the six promises. I firmly believe that these tenets are universally applicable, regardless of your vocation, interests, or background.
This worksheet/journal is practical and easy to complete and will prevent you from going into a crisis state. These are proven ways to innovate your career. You have a monumental choice before you: how you will invest your time, energy, and, ultimately, your life. This is not about your education level or formal training. This is about your willingness to take action on this work and to make it a part of your daily routine.
Remember, it is not always the large, Hollywood ending or the “Rocky” moments that determine our success. Instead, it’s the small things we do daily, habitually, that make us successful. Based on my life experiences, I have created the game plan and road map I wish I had when I started out. I share it with you now. Let’s get started!
