Your children are not your children.
They may come from you but they are not you.
They are not here to fulfill your dream, hopes and aspirations.
Nor are their lives an opportunity to revamp yours.
You may attempt to control, manipulate or shame them to conform to your life’s dance,
but it will end in ultimate loss.
Love and encourage them to grow beyond their fears and insecurities.
Teach them by example how to be compassionate, respectful, honest and kind.
Help and support them to discover their purpose without interfering
with your agenda and ideas,
then allow them to grow a sense of self-worth, live independently and
celebrate their happiness where ever they may find it!
