Good Morning Blogfam!
When a person is really interested in doing something they won't need much convincing for them to do it. Speaking from personal experience, I can say that I notice a difference in my excitement level when it comes to doing something that I really want to do and something I don't want to do. I feel that a lot of people have trouble being able to gage the interest level of people so they find themselves wasting valuable time trying to persuade them to do certain things. It's very important to be able to determine whether a person is truly interested or if they are doing it out of pressure or obligation.
The reason why this comes to mind is because I was thinking yesterday about how I always find myself trying to reach out to my children's fathers to basically invite them in their kids life on the level that would be sufficient for the children and others involved. Parenting is extremely hard work, especially when you want the best for your children. I'm not talking about material things because to me that's not necessarily what I classify as the "best". As a mother I feel proud when I can sit at a play and watch my daughter sing, I feel proud when I know every teacher and they know me, I feel proud when I see them wake up, I feel proud when I see the people they are becoming, and I feel proud to be their mother. Granted, parents learn lessons every day and there will be situations that take place that prevent us from doing all we can but there is always something you can do to remain relevant in your children's lives and contribute to their happiness.
CandyNote: In the battle of Contentment vs. Convincing, contentment will always win because no matter how much you talk people won't change if they are comfortable with their situation.
