What Do You Permit?

“What you permit, you promote. What you allow, you encourage. What you condone, you own. What you tolerate, you deserve.”

-Michelle Malkin

 

 

You can’t complain about that which you permit. When we create a culture in our homes it is created largely by the things we permit to happen. Most times we are conscious about the actions we intentionally take to create our culture. The flip side of this coin is our culture is created by things we permit to happen even if we don’t realize we are letting them happen.

If there is a behavior in your home or in your life it is up to you as a leader to be intentional about changing it. The first thing you should look to is what is the behavior you are permitting that is allowing the behavior you want to change? If you are on a diet and you can’t complain about all the junk food you are eating if you keep bringing junk food in the house. When you permit it in the house there is a very good chance it will be eaten.

When we try and drive a culture of love in our homes but our children are constantly fighting we need to look at what we permit that leads to the fighting. How are we teaching our children to respect one another? What language do we allow them to use toward one another? Remember you can’t complain about what you permit. It is up to you to lead your family, lead your home, and lead yourself.
