Sometimes they aren't interested

I want my kids to clean their rooms. I want them to work hard. I want them to be honest and caring and loving. And I want them to listen when I'm talking, but sometimes they just aren't interested in what I have to say. When we have a passion in life, something that we are determined to accomplish, we want everyone to be a part of it. We tell them our grand idea with the expectation that they will love it. But sometimes they just aren't interested and that leaves us feeling let down. The problem isn't in their reaction (mostly), but in our expectation. Share your passion. Encourage people to join you. Just don't get upset with them when they aren't interested. (Sidenote: This is especially tough with family.)
