By engaging him or her toward
THEIR dream goal, EVERYTHING else falls into place:
Experience with MANY teenagers
has SHOWN that, when they’re pursuing THEIR dream goal:
·
Motivation increases
·
Focus improves
·
Discipline
strengthens
·
Homework becomes
more personally important.
The list could go on – but you
get the idea.
So the challenge becomes –
how to get them to identify and set their DREAM GOAL?
Despite your possible doubt,
it is A FACT that all human beings [including your teen] are inherently motivated.
Are there confounding factors?
Yes. Could be things like hormonal or body chemistry changes or shifts,
emotional swings due to interpersonal or dating issues – which may seem small, small, small to you or me – but to them, their world
hinges on it… And of course, the usual – past habits of minimal motivation, doing
too much for them, giving them too much, etc.
But even those can be overcome by the steps below.
I fully expect that many readers
will say – “yeah, that may be for those other teens – but mine is different.” BUNK. Open
your eyes and your mind.
Basic issue: an underachiever
is someone achieving below their potential.
THEY HAVE POTENTIAL – you simply may not have figured out how to tap it
yet.
To get them dreaming, we have
several tools we can share with you – just message me.
Lou Holtz - very
famous football coach, says, “If you’re bored with life [it’s because] – you
don’t get up every morning with a burning desire to do things – you don’t have
enough goals.”
Bottom line? NO GOAL, NO GLORY!
LAST THOUGHT: recognize, even
assume – that their dream goal may change.
THAT’S OK. In fact, it’s the
process that’s most important and valuable.
