What I Want My Children To Learn

=-=-= What I want my kids to learn =-=-=

1.) *Life is tough enough without you making it tougher.* Never lose faith in yourself – you’re wonderful hunan beings whose potential is limited solely by how you choose to view yourself. Sure, we all have our foibles…. but our greatness is always inside of us, waiting for us to give ourselves permission to shine.

2.) *Always keep your sense of magic.* It’s superEasy to become jaded because of all the idjuts in this world. But magic is all around us in the form of nature and our Inner Hero. Never grow too old so you lose sight of this fact.

3.) *Refuse to give idjuts rent-free space in your head.* It’s so easy to feel lessened because someone else decided to mock you or shun you. You know something? It’s their loss. Small people try to make others smaller by magnifying their own self-importance. Pity them and let them go.

4.) Before reacting, try understanding.v Everyone failed mind-reading 101… and there’s a good chance that misunderstandings happen because of what you *think* the other person meant (and vice versa). Always try to communicate first before jumping to conclusions.

You know, I read bunches of posts that talk about how you should inspire others. And that is a worthy goal… it’s enhanced when those others are the people you love.

Always remember the world would be a darker place without you in it. And share this with those who would benefit from it today.

Grow strong,
