Your sons will especially pick up on how you treat women. Here are 5 things you can teach your sons about how to treat girls.

Culture / 10 Ways To Cultivate A Savings Culture by ValourDigest(m): 3:02pm On Dec 03, 2019
Cultivating the habit of savings is a very important one; this habit can help you in many aspects of life. A good saver can save out funds for business, a good saver is debt free, a good saver has already made a right and bold step to financial freedom, a good saver can reach certain goals that can’t be ordinarily attained with the limited revenues he gets.

Cultivating a savings culture is always ideal, but is never easy. Savings entails starving yourself off certain wants and pleasures, and that takes a lot of discipline. Many people want to save, many people wish they could save, but just few save at the end of the day.

There are certain ways you can cultivate a savings culture.

1. ASSESS YOUR FINANCIAL HEALTH
Market your books

The first major step to savings is assessing your financial health; this would help you know the direction you’re headed and how to get there. You need to have a clear picture of your income and expenses, you need to know what takes the bulk of your money, and also try to ascertain whether you’re spending more than you earn. When you have this figured out then you can move to the next step.

2. HAVE A BUDGET

Family / 5 Ways To Find Meaning In Your Life by ValourDigest(m): 2:49pm On Nov 29, 2019
hat is the meaning of life?

A question that has been asked an infinite amount of times since conscious life began on this planet. I am not a particularly philosophical person, but if you are, biologist Jeremy Griffith presents the best explanation of the meaning of all things on this planet that I know of.

However this article is concerned with finding meaning in your life, which is basically the challenge set before all us humans, and something that we are all going to approach differently. That being said, below are my tips to help you figure out exactly why you are here, where your passions are hiding and what is going to be the spark to set your world alight with meaning.
Market your books

Of course, there is also the theory that simply searching for meaning in your life, is the meaning itself, so don’t worry if nothing is jumping out at you, because simply by participating in the search, you are doing something incredibly meaningful.
1. Stop Playing By The Rules

Some people find that the meaning of life is to have a career, get married, and raise a family. However, that doesn’t mean that everyone is meant to do that in their lives!

When you are living a life that is dictated by others it becomes hard to find the purpose of your own life. Children are often directed in one way or another by their parents. For instance, their parents want them to become doctors or lawyers, yet as they grow up, they have a strong desire to do something else. Many of these children ignore their own desires because the rules dictate that they can’t have what they want.
ALSO READ 5 Reasons You Should Teach Your Child Another Language

If that sounds like you, then it’s time to dump the rules and start living the life you want. Why would you want to live your life for someone else? You will only regret it in the end. Once you realize that no one has to live behind a set of rules and that everyone is unique in their desires, then you will be able to better find the meaning of your life and where you are headed.
2. Step Out of Your Comfort Zone

The term comfort zone is code for a place you live in yourself without fear.

Fear of the unknown, fear of failing, or fear of not being in control.

The definition of boredom and meaningless would have to have the word monotony in it somewhere—continual monotonous repetition creates boredom and certainly does not get you any closer to finding true meaning and excitement.

Family / Spending More Time With Your Kids When Life Is Busy! by ValourDigest(m): 1:33pm On Nov 28, 2019
Is one of your goal to spend more time connecting with your kids and family? Is it time to focus on your kids and family? Life is busy and days pass by so quickly. I know I often wonder if I am doing enough to help my kids grow and learn.

Family / Spending More Time With Your Kids When Life Is Busy! by ValourDigest(m): 2:47pm On Nov 26, 2019
Is one of your goal to spend more time connecting with your kids and family? Is it time to focus on your kids and family? Life is busy and days pass by so quickly. I know I often wonder if I am doing enough to help my kids grow and learn. I used to feel the anxiety and guilt when I saw other parents spending time working on projects and taking field trips with their kids, but I have found through recent studies and personal experiences that quality is more important than quantity.

Children need high-quality and truly “connected time” with their parents to feel supported and help develop those social and emotional skills that come with interactions and modeling. Remember it doesn’t have to be a lot of hours especially if you might only have a ½ hour before bedtime once you get all the other daily activities completed. Use the tips below to spend that ½ hour high-quality time with your children.
Tips for Busy Families

Here are tips for busy families from National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC):

Have a daily “connect” time with your child. Do this face-to-face, if possible; but if this isn’t an option, create a routine for doing so in other ways, such as leaving a note in your child’s lunch bag, posting a note by his toothbrush, or writing an encouraging saying on a shared whiteboard in the house.

Health / 7 Things You Do In The Morning That Make You Feel Tired All Day by ValourDigest(m): 3:54pm On Nov 22, 2019
If you’re dragging right now, don’t be so quick to blame last night.

While poor sleep is one of the biggest reasons many of us feel exhausted, there are actually several other culprits – and some of them start before you even leave your house.

But that’s a good thing, because you’re totally in control of these morning habits. Here’s how to overcome them so you feel alert all day.

1. You spend an extra 20 minutes in bed on your phone
Market your books

For once, it’s not your phone that’s to blame – it’s spending the extra time in bed that’s the problem.

“The bed is meant for one main thing: sleeping,” says Raj Dasgupta, MD, a fellow of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine. “If you stay in bed, then it gives your mind the feeling that it’s time to sleep and not start your day.”

Even worse, he says, is if you fall back asleep. If your “just 10 more minutes” turns into an hour, then you’re waking up from REM sleep instead of the lighter stages of sleep that you would’ve woken up from had you gotten out of bed the first time.

Waking up from that deeper sleep can actually make you even more tired throughout the day than someone who got less shut-eye but woke up from a lighter stage of sleep.

Bottom line: When you wake up, get up.

2. You’re glued to your Fitbit

Fitbits and other fitness trackers are great at motivating you to get in a few (or a few thousand) more daily steps, but if you’re also using it to track your sleep, you might actually feel more tired, says Dr Dasgupta.

Giving in to Your Impulses? Here Are 3 Tips to Stay in Control of Your Negotiation

You are meeting with a client later this afternoon and your primary goal is to lock in the close to the deal before you get derailed. Your emotional reactions to comments made by the client in previous meetings caused you to lose focus and go off track. No matter what you tried you were unable to get back on track for the rest of the meeting. You are wondering what happened and why you impulsively gave away so many concessions. You felt your emotions ricocheting all over the place. Not a good feeling or way to engage a negotiation.

Today you are going to do something different because you know that doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results is a sign of insanity. You really want to close this deal because this success will cascade into other successes and you feel sure it will be the beginning of better things to come. But what can you do that will result in different more rewarding results? How can you be less impulsive in the moment and maintain your cool?

Family / 10 Ideas To Create Meaningful Family Moments by ValourDigest(m): 2:52pm On Nov 21, 2019
The word family, especially in a deeply rooted culture like ours, is more than just people you grow up with. This one word encompasses respect, values, togetherness and it is important to freshen this up every now and then. Participating in numerous fun-filled activities creates new opportunities for families to have an experience. Pat Tannerson, a Human Development Professor terms this “family glue”. When families spend time together they invest into the well being of their relationships and cut out insignificant animosities between individuals. There are a number of ways you can create these family moments:

1. A surprise vacation: An ideal escape from everyday routine tasks whether its work, household chores or school! A few days away from reality gives the family a chance to spend a lot of time together. What better way to make it interesting? Make………..

Career / 11 Simple Ways To Show Your Employees You Care by ValourDigest(m): 3:41pm On Nov 20, 2019
Perception is a very real issue for leaders. They must decide how they want employees to view them and act accordingly. Typically, leaders choose a combination of stoic, strong, closed-off, and loud-mouthed. Some even want to be seen as assholes. While this is a strategic decision — usually designed to maintain respect and avoid inappropriate situations — if you’re completely avoiding a personal connection with your employees, you’re making a big mistake.

Employees who feel valued and appreciated by their leaders are infinitely more likely to go above and beyond for the company and hold themselves accountable for their part of a project.

You’re the Boss—Now What? 7 To-Dos as a First-Time Manager

If you’ve been promoted to management for the first time, you’re probably stoked about your new gig, ready to take charge, and, let’s be honest, contemplating how to spend your first new paycheck.

But, if you’re like most, you’re also feeling pretty terrified. While graduating to management is a huge accomplishment, it’s also the beginning of a pretty huge challenge. Not quite sure where to start? Get off on the right foot with these steps for a smooth transition.
1. Get Smart

First off, make it your personal mission to learn everything you can—believe me, this is the big key to success as a new manager. Seek out the management tools, resources, and classes that your company offers. Some organizations have formal supervisor training, and nearly all have manuals and HR policies. Read them, digest them, and keep them on your bookshelf.

You should also do some digging and learn more about each of the people you’ll be managing. Review their personnel files, their resumes, and their past performance reviews and goals.
Market your books
2. Find a Mentor

Of course, many of the situations you’ll face as a manager aren’t outlined in any manual. How do you deal with a team member who’s underperforming? Or an overachiever who you’d love to promote but can’t because of budget cuts?

The good news is, someone else has probably dealt before with any situation you’ll face. So one of the most important things you can do is find a mentor, someone with whom you can confidentially discuss issues as they arise. If this is your boss, great. If not, find someone else in your company who can serve in this capacity.

Low self-esteem is unfortunately a self-fulling prophecy. The worse you feel about who you are and what you do, the less motivation you’ll have to do what it takes to build your self-esteem.

Family / 10 Tips For Solving Relationship Conflicts by ValourDigest(m): 2:45pm On Nov 08, 2019
As anyone who has been in a romantic relationship knows, disagreements and fights are inevitable. When two people spend a lot of time together, with their lives intertwined, they are bound to disagree from time to time. These disagreements can be big or small, ranging from what to eat for dinner or failing to complete a chore to arguments about whether the couple should move for one partner’s career or deciding on children’s religious upbringing.

The mere fact that you fight with your partner isn’t a sign there is real trouble in your relationship. In fact, when handled properly, fighting can improve your relationship. If you never fight and never talk about your problems, you will never solve them. By dealing with conflicts constructively, you can gain a better understanding of your partner and arrive at a solution that works for both of you. On the other hand, it is also possible for conflicts to escalate and create ill will without resolving anything. How can you improve the odds of a successful resolution to the conflicts in your relationship? Here are 10 research-backed tips:

1. Be direct.

Sometimes people don’t just come out and plainly state what is bothering them, and instead choose more indirect ways of expressing their displeasure. One partner may speak to the other in a way that is condescending and implies underlying hostility. Other times, partners may mope and pout without really addressing an issue. Partners may also simply avoid discussing a problem by quickly switching topics when the issue comes up or by being evasive. Such indirect ways of expressing anger are not constructive, because they don’t give the person who is the target of the behaviors a clear idea of how to respond. They know their partner is irritated, but the lack of directness leaves them without guidance about what they can do to solve the problem

Learn about the job responsibilities, employment opportunities, and training or education requirements prior to pursuing a specific career. Follow these steps to narrow potential career options:

1. Assess yourself – Each individual has different goals, talents, interests, and values. In other words, there are certain careers each individual should not pursue and others where they’d excel and be satisfied. Determine what you would enjoy and excel at by taking career assessments, receiving career counseling, and conducting thorough self-evaluation.

It has never been more important for families to pray together. Prayer is the foundation of the Christian home and is one of the best ways to help your family thrive. We are living in a time where we are experiencing an unprecedented cultural attack on biblical values and the structure of the home. Busy schedules, technology distractions and a general lack of enthusiasm also make this vital goal difficult. It’s important that we change the focus of our families from the world to the Lord, and the mood of our households from one of frustration to one of peace and joy

Too many couples today decide that if their marriage isn’t working, they should get out. But the Scriptures point to a God who can bring healing.
In our culture today many see divorce as a positive solution to a troubled marriage. But Harvard sociologist Armand Nicholi III concluded, “Divorce is not a solution, but an exchange of problems.”

In a more personal way, novelist Pat Conroy said of his own marriage break-up, “Each divorce is the death of a small civilization.”

Sadness is something we often experience in our lives whether short-term or long-term. Negative emotions can be difficult to deal with especially in a society that has deemed such emotions as something we shouldn’t dwell on. However, it’s important to acknowledge that the negative emotions are just as important as the positive ones.

Negative emotions are crucial for our overall happiness and well-being. They are there to tell us something, help us make sense of life’s ups and downs and evaluate our experiences. When they do come up, they are not to be judged or suppressed but rather should be seen as a tool for getting yourself back onto the right track.

When we encounter negativity, it is important that we focus on……………..

Business / Hard Work Won’t Make You Successful — But Doing This Will by ValourDigest(m): 1:53pm On Oct 02, 2019
By Liz Ryan

I don’t blame anyone who has become frustrated and disillusioned with the working world. It is a huge disappointment to grow up and realize that most of what we’ve been taught about how to be successful is bad advice.

We were taught “Just work hard at whatever job you get, and things will work out.” That’s false. Working hard at your job does not get you much. When you work hard at a job where the boss doesn’t value your efforts, all your hard work gets you is taken for granted. Just working hard by itself will exhaust you and shorten your lifespan without any benefits to you.

There has to be more to success than merely working hard, or millions of people around the world would be a lot more successful than they are……..

Religion / 4 Reasons Why We Need Biblical Theology by ValourDigest(m): 2:07pm On Sep 23, 2019
To read the Bible faithfully, we need the proper tools. The discipline of biblical theology is one of those helpful tools.

1. Biblical theology helps clarify the Bible’s main purpose.

Some people approach God’s Word as if it were a collection of independent stories, or an assortment of advice and counsel, or even a universal cookbook with recipes for “the good life” scattered across its sixty-six books. But these approaches fail to bring to light the central purpose of Scripture.

In the Bible, the triune God explains who he is and what he is like and how he’s at work throughout history by his Spirit and in his Son, Jesus Christ the King, and how we ought to glorify him in this world. Biblical theology helps us to grasp this main purpose by looking at each passage of Scripture in………………….

She asks what I would do in her situation, and my answer comes as a surprise. Find a local ladies’ Bible study to join. With those few words, I sense her skepticism. Because committing to a weekly Bible study group is the last thing on her mind right now.

Dr. David Kyle Foster

This article is adapted from Dr. David Kyle Foster’s book, Sexual Healing Reference Edition.
One often wonders why the Bible doesn’t directly address masturbation. It is the cause of so much guilt and speculation in the Body of Christ.
