#2 - Be unselfish. I noticed a trend. When I get discouraged, it is usually
about me. "I'm so tired of the whining." "I'm so fed up with her
defiance." You never hear a policeman bellyachin' about lawbreakers. His
dealings with lawbreakers are very matter-of-fact. ("Here's the law,
here's the crime, here's the penalty.") You're just handling the
lawbreakers. That's your job! When we start to get discouraged and whine, lots
of times, it is because we're tired of the inconvenience of discipline and
character training. Believe me, I'm saying it to me. I have to check my heart
often and it is painful to realize that I'm pointing the finger at them and I
need to start with me.
