Teach These Truths to Your Children
Teach them that they need nothing exterior to themselves to be happy - no person, no place, or thing - and that true happiness is found within. Teach them that they are sufficient unto themselves. Teach them that failure is a fiction, that every trying is a success, and that every effort is what achieves the victory, with the first no less honorable then the last. Teach them that they are deeply connected to all of life, that they are one with all people, and that they are Never Separate from God. Teach them that they live in a world of magnificent abundance, that there is enough for everyone, and that it is in sharing the most, not in gathering the most, that the most is received. Teach them that there is nothing that they are required to be or do to be eligible for a life of dignity and fulfillment, that they need not compete with anyone for any thing, and that God's blessings are for everyone. Teach them that there are No Conditions to love, that they need not ever worry about losing your love, or God's, and that their own love unconditionally shared, is the greatest gift they can give the world. Teach them that being special does not mean being better, that claiming superiority over someone is not seeing them for who they Really Are, and that there is great healing in acknowledging "mine is not a better way, mine is merely another way." Teach them that they will never be judged, that they need not worry about always getting it right, and they do not have to change anything, or get better," to be seen as perfect and beautiful in the eyes of God. Teach them that consequences and punishment are not the same thing, that death does not exist, and that God does not condemn. Teach them that there is nothing that they cannot accomplish, that the illusion of ignorance can be eradicated, and that all anyone really need is to be given back to themselves by being reminded of Who They Really Are. Teach these things not with your words but with your actions; not with discussion but with demonstration. For its is what you do that your children will emulate, and how you are that they will become.
