Whether or not we have kids, we can encourage all kids to get excited about creating their lives…to be their most authentic selves by sharing our excitement for them, with them…yahoo!

The 6th Verse of The Tao Te Ching is called “Living Creatively”, (from “Change Your Thoughts Change yourLife” by Dr. Wayne Dyer). “Whatever you feel within you as your calling–whatever makes you feel alive–know in your heart that this excitement is all the evidence you need to have your inner passion become reality. Whatever you feel compelled to do–be it write music, design software, do floral arrangements, clean teeth or drive a taxi–do it with your unique flair. Being creative means trusting your inner calling, ignoring criticism or judgement, and releasing resistance to your natural talents.”

Creativity vs. Competitiveness: Creatively Achieving anything, feels good & is always fun!

A great book for parents of high school seniors is ”The Launching Years, Strategies For Parenting FromSenior Year To College Life”, by Laura S. Kastner, Ph.D., and Jennifer Wyatt, Ph.D.

They say, “Whether it’s college admission or career choice, families who stay rigidly attached to a narrow view of what’s good and what’s successful can make a child feel ‘less than’ when her path takes another course. Going for the gold can be great, but also find a positive way of rising to the occasion of what the options turn out to be.”

Mother’s day & Father’s day is Everyday…I think we serve our kids well by encouraging them to be theirbest authentic selves.

“There is no greater gift we can give others than that of unselfish assistance motivated by our pure desire to see all beings elevated and uplifted.”.

Being a part of the collective positive energy is ”the only way for us to evolve as a species” (Eckhart Tolle)…

“Our inner guidance will lead us, so that we will be drawn to the right doorway for us–a doorway that only we can recognize by the way it makes us feel inside. …Others may share what worked for them, but only we can decide what truly makes us feel inspired, awakened, connected, fully conscious, aware and alive. Whatever our path, it is perfect and is meant especially for us.”.

There are no limits on how good our lives can be…age is inconsequential & always will be!

Find & Feel joy then pass it on…

Namaste,
