Do not ask your children to strive for extraordinary lives. Such striving may seem admirable, but it is the way of foolishness. Help them instead to find the wonder and the marvel of an ordinary life. Show them the joy of tasting tomatoes, apples and pears. Show them how to cry when pets and people die. Show them the infinite pleasure in the touch of a hand. And make the ordinary come alive for them. The extraordinary will take care of itself.
“Maybe it’s okay that you haven’t worked out every little detail just yet. Maybe it’s okay that you are feeling a little lost lately. Maybe you don’t need all the answers right now, maybe everything you need now, is right here. Maybe the only thing you’re missing is trust – believing that everything will work out the way it’s supposed to. Once you just let go of your fears and put your trust into yourself and into the universe, that’s when it all comes together. Maybe this is your sign to do it, whatever thing you’re thinking of when reading this. This is your sign to trust yourself. This is your sign it’s time to change.”
