As Ashley and I were talking this afternoon, our little girl Naomi was walking and stumbling around gabbing and gabbing about who knows what, crawling up the stairs and gabbing some more. As Ashley and I were trying to finish our conversation regarding some actual important things regarding our life, Naomi's voice was getting louder and more abrupt as if she were leading a war cry. I kept going over to her and asking what she wanted, she would look at me in silence for a few seconds then say something at the top of her lungs, as if now she were getting her point across more clearly to me now.
As I sit here writing this I can't help but think how much she was actually contributing to the conversation that Ashley and I were "trying" to have. As she seemed to already obtain the skills that I am trying to get better at. So a little lesson I learned from my one year old daughter today was to get people's attention, make sure they are listening, and then tell them what you want. Be decisive in your decision making. Pull the trigger and make it happen. So whatever you are currently involved with in your lives, make some goals, be decisive, follow through, and make yourself accountable for those decisions.
