Cultivating deep respect and discovering magic

Today, I shared with my son that the comfort zone can be a silent killer, limiting growth and personal development. I saw the light bulb go off in his head. It felt good to see something get through to him after talking for over an hour.

That’s the joy of parenthood.

I often reflect on what it means to be a good parent and realize it’s not a perfect formula. Instead, it’s about accepting, supporting, and offering guidance when needed.

Wisdom Unveiled

Through this journey, I’ve come to know that our children are the true teachers. They reveal profound lessons about life and ourselves, shaping our understanding in ways we could never anticipate.

As Kahlil Gibran eloquently puts it in his poem “On Children”:

“Your children are not your children.

They are the sons and daughters of Life’s longing for itself.

They come through you but not from you,

And though they are with you, yet they belong not to you.”

Gibran’s words remind us that while we guide and support our children, they are independent beings with their respective paths and destinies, representing the future.

Sacred Moments

This morning’s interaction with my son shed light on how precious each moment is.

Every interaction offers deep significance and mutual benefit, a gift of soulful enlightenment. Nothing is wasted and no moment is trivial.
