Today at church I heard a sermon on a subject I would like to discuss here today in this blog.

Now this isn't going to be a religious blog so don't anyone turn me off just yet. Keep reading because I want to compare how what I heard applies to Wealthy Affiliate.

Fighting Family


First let me tell you about what was said that I will put in my words. The pastor was talking about the importance of the family and how you should fight for your family.

Let me explain what I mean by this. Let's say you feel that something is very important. His point of course was spiritual growth but you can make that anything.

He was saying how the family or their values should be fought for. For instance, if a person beliefs strong enough that something must or should take place. Then when this member of the family leads by example the rest of the family will follow suit.

The question I am sure you guys are asking, does the rest of the family follow suit right away?

How did I know you where asking this? Because, I was also thinking the same thing. And the answer is NO.

The change isn't over-night and sometimes it doesn't even come at all BUT you never know that UNLESS you TRY!!! AND isn't your FAMILY WORTH FIGHTING FOR!!!

How Is This Related

For example, in WA I feel internet marketing is important so I will show everyone around me I feel is SO important to me that eventually them MIGHT change.

We all want our families to change and some already have!!! What the counselor said is that it doesn't happen over-night and sometimes it may not even happen at all. But this is at least worth fighting for!!!

What Else

Also today, and this I thought was priceless, the pastor was interviewing his father who just happens to be a family counselor. His father was giving us advice on how to raise a child.



One of the many pieces of advice was Don't stand there and yell at your children because this confuses them and will send them into the fight/flight mode.

Later that afternoon I was walking across the parking lot when I saw a preteen that was running around in a parking lot while the parents stood there yelling at him to get back in the car.

I walked behind a building and could hear the parents yelling and calling him names that I won't repeat here. The preteen was yelling right back, so I agree that the counselor was right that this lack of disciple isn't working.

In Summary


To summarize, what you have read today this is an important concept!!!

Values are worth fighting for!!! Family is worth it!!!

If they are important to you, then you should fight for them!!!

Change can't happen over-night BUT FIGHT for important event!!!

Excellent Elaine!
I really appreciate this sentiment and I do believe that fighting for your family is absolutely right. In fact, the first person I referred to WA and follow up with daily is my daughter. I believe if she sees me make a success of WA, she will get as excited as I am.
God bless you and thanks for your encouragement in this endeavor.

I love it, Elaine! Family is definitely worth fighting for. My sister was diagnosed with a brain tumor a little over a year ago. It has been a battle for her—for all of us. I never much thought about my family as much as I have since she got sick. She is back in the hospital again. They think she had a stroke. She isn't even 50 yet! I would fight for that girl! She has shown me true dedication continued to be strong for her family throughout her illness. Made sure she was there for her son's wedding even though she was weak and had just had a brain surgery a few weeks prior. She made sure she was there for her daughter's high school graduation! She has proved herself a gallant fighter who puts others first before herself. We worry because our brother died when he was a young boy of cancer. But we keep fighting for each other because in the end, family comes first!

I feel this way about my WA family, too! I will defend you to the end!

Best wishes,
Karin :)

Hey Karin,
This is how it should be but it isn't always. Many family units are breaking down!!!
My daughter's boyfriend has no family, well he is been an outcast from his family so to him family isn't important. He is pulling my daughter away from our family a little but I think I have shown him family is important to me.

Its a science based solution in the field of mitochondrial biophysics. It 8s the worlds only Health restoration retreat for cancer remediation.

Sending prayers for your sister as she comes through this dark tunnel and live a healthy life dis-ease free life and bring hope to others!

I hope he can overcome his own feelings and come to "fall in love" with family!

Hi Elaine
So true all of what the pastor said
I have 2 gorgeous Adult children now and when they were young I recall one day, I raised my voice to my son and he looked at me with really sad eyes and said "Mum, would you like me to yell? It sounds so horrible and angry"

I remember getting tears in my eyes and I never raised my voice to anyone ever again. A big lesson from Dan and a great lesson learned.

I truly believe we should be leaders and always think before we speak or act and Yes, share what we are doing with our wonderful online business and one day, people we have shared with just might take up this awesome opportunity

Thanks so much, Elaine

I love these types of posts and feel encouraged to keep being me :)
Enjoy your new week ahead

Hey Vicki,
Yes I agree with you that our children are learning from us. If we as parents don't TEACH our children society will and I really don't want my granddaughter's peers to be her parents (no offense to her peers).

Hey Vicki,

love it:)

Family is our past, present and future. At times, we have to agree to disagree. However the coin is flipped, family remains constant in life's equation. And yes, not only for historical and social importance, but also spirituality, FAMILY ON ALL LEVELS IS WORTH FIGHTING FOR.
Happy Sunday!

As they say, family will always be family even if at times we do not see eye to eye on certain things. So yes, we should fight for our family because at the end of the day, our family are the only ones who will stick with us through thick and thin.

Cheers to family, cheers to the WA family!
