Always Protect Your Behind

 


When young people leave home for the first time, life can seem daunting or overwhelming. Becoming an active member of society today is fraught with so many rules and a lot of fine print. Most of our youth are faced with not having been taught so many of the skills necessary to move swiftly and successfully into the adult world. 

This book presents some of the common pitfalls experienced by so many on the road to becoming independent. It is based upon listening to what parents and young adults had to say about the trials and tribulations they faced along their paths. Throughout my hundreds of conversations with adults of all ages, I discovered so many identical descriptions of problematic situations each of them had encountered. These brave people provided valuable insight into some of the knowledge and coping skills that helped them through some of those unfamiliar and often costly experiences. 

Topics included in this life guide are the ones that were mentioned most frequently, covering some of the critical issues within the arenas of finance, education, organization, relationships, physical and mental wellbeing, and overall appropriate behavior. 

Success in everything we do is so dependent upon understanding how to do something, and pretty much everything involving the rules and regulations within both the fine print and the multitude of relationships we encounter. What are the facts concerning credit cards? How do I control spending and budgeting? What is involved in having roommates or even good relationships? What are the facts concerning birth control? How can I find physical and mental well-being? Knowledge empowers an individual in the pursuit of achieving their desired goals and facilitates in providing the tools to avoid many of the common mistakes.

Ironically, some of the same issues faced by generations of the past still persist today. The wisdom of sages throughout history can allow us to learn without having to go through the pain of the actual experiences themselves. Many of their famous quotes appear throughout the book as examples of their keen observations. 

There is an importance in knowing that options exist. Preliminary presentation of the book's material to individuals 18 through 80 has been enlightening. It was often met with an "I wish I had known that before" response. This book offers solid, straightforward, and interesting insights and alternatives to make the transition to adulthood closer to a triumphant journey.

This information has been much needed and frequently overlooked by parents and educators of our youth. We cannot resort to finger pointing or blaming, but rather to be available to provide assistance and answers when they are needed. Our ultimate responsibility is to help in the development of flourishing adults for the betterment of society as a whole.

Getting What You Want

Jeff Bezos has stated a few times that his success can be attributed to not letting anyone else tell him who he is. While this sounds like solid advice, this fixed idea fails to include the importance of   being flexible or open-minded, especially while building and maintaining a business. Just as the seasons change, so does a business and the social climate. Flexibility allows for growth. Maturity allows for change. People change and evolve in their thinking and who they are throughout their lives. A very over-simplified example is the child who receives an allowance. One child might spend it on candy or a toy. As a teenager, they may save it to build enough to buy something like a car that they want. As an adult, still saving, they may invest to make it grow larger and faster, planning out the larger picture. Who that person is today is very much the result of an ever-evolving time of growth and maturity. They are molded through the experiences they have. They stretch, grow, an...

Conservative Showers in Archaeology

One of the effects of my town’s current societal shutdown has been an increase in outdoor activities such as walking around the neighborhood development. Most of us end up in socially distanced packs as we wind our way around this way and that. I often pass the time listening to conversations of some of those talkative little groups. A valuable exchange at times. On one such walk a few days ago, I was listening to a woman exclaim how sad things are for so many disadvantaged people in other countries. I silently nodded in agreement to some of the things she espoused. But at one point she began to take this a bit too far in assigning her own expectations and values to other cultures.  Yes, we do take for granted the hot showers that we can take any time we want. Yes, we do not truly appreciate that we can pick up a wide selection of foods from our local grocer almost any time we chose. These actions are just the tip of the iceberg of our mainstream American experience. Yet at what ...

Defining Christianity: In Brevi

Image
  Are you experiencing conflicts trying to understand your parents’ or friends’ Christian beliefs? Are you having difficulty explaining your Christian beliefs to other people? Are you having trouble defining it for yourself? The goal of this book is to help provide some of the answers you seek, exactly as God intended—from his written Word. Ten essential areas basic to Christianity are presented to help you establish a foundation from which to grow and mature on your journey. While God is a mystery to all of us, the Holy Spirit has been placed inside each of us to help bridge the gap. Throughout the book, three things will become clear. First, God desires to reconcile with humankind, to have a personal relationship with every one of us. We merely need to reach out toward him in trust and to respond in faith to his call. Second, when you understand God’s free gift of grace, righteousness can become a tangible and significant attribute within your very being. You will mature an...
