Exactly!
Be the change you want to see happen, instead of trying to change others.
Our minds have to be the strongest energy force there is. I believe that whether or not we know it, how we deal with our children is a reflection of how we feel about ourselves.
Children are a product of their environment. If we want change for them, then we need to create that change consciously, rather than living as though we have no control over our life.
I'm a firm believer of the "power of suggestion". And whether or not we are aware of it, every single thought that we process, through every choice made, we are creating our own reality.
And with that, I believe that what we think and how we think it, delegates every outcome. Which, in turn directly effects our children. And although extremely difficult at times, I do my best to conduct self in positive thought by which, I'm confident my daughter benefits greatly.
There is nothing more rewarding than to have your child express to you their appreciation for your efforts. That acknowledgement alone makes it all worthwhile.
Communication is the key structure to all relationships. Patience to support that communication. Acceptance to support the patience.
Trust/faith upholds acceptance. Respect establishes trust/faith. Love is the foundation which supports all.
(I think I have that in the correct order.... ).
Thank you all so much for all the involvement in this post. I had no idea that by posting a few random thoughts it would result in such a vast enrichment of insight from so many.
