Sometimes we have to do things we hate to do. Learn how to think differently about those things so you can find the motivation to push through it.
Talking Points:
- Perspective is key. Certain things need to be done, and if you don’t do them, others will suffer. That should be a huge motivator for doing things you don’t want to do.
- Don’t forget to remember that many kids in the world don’t have access to education or sports so be thankful for your life and stop complaining!
Discussion:
- Initial reactions to this topic? What jumped out at you?
- What are some chores or responsibilities you hate having to do? Why do these things rub you the wrong way?
- What are some time-wasting habits you have or some bad ruts you fall into?
- How does having empathy (caring about how your actions affect others) change the way you go about handling your responsibilities?
- What are some hobbies, extracurricular activities, or school subjects you really enjoy? Why?
- Think about the opportunities you have in comparison to other people in the world. How should your good fortune change the way you think about getting stuff done when it comes to studies, training, or even chores around the house?
- Why do you think perspective is so important when it comes to doing the things you don’t want to do?
- Is there a step you need to take based on today’s topic?
