When the adult world inspires children...
Words won't do much....as children tend to hear with their eyes and heart.
Actions matter...so, shall we want to be responsible parents/teachers/educators, we first are obliged to be responsible and true to ourselves.
Children are extra pure and sensitive to "catch" real emotions....telling them that all is right, when actually it's not for us, will only create confusion.
To say the truth is an art and it all starts from telling the truth to ourselves...about ourselves....we are not only wonderful..we are human...we hurt...we have done things wrong...we have possibly hurt others...but all this is part of life.
Happiness is not about being happy all the time....rather it's about accepting the fact that there'll be some unhappy moments in life and learning to deal with them.
Achieving some balance inside is happiness..then we need not talk about it, we need not shout it...people simply have to look at us...and they know...and that's enough.
Children need not be taught how to be happy...
Children need to learn to accept and the best way to that is by accepting them.
We've all been children once...we know that the most intense emotional experiences were formed then...and all our adult life depends on curing ourselves from all possible harm that was done then...by accepting that nobody is perfect, neither our parents....but they must have done the best they could....
So let's try to be the best parents that we can, when parenthood knocks on our door, keeping in mind, that first we have to be the best we can for ourselves.
And please, let this not be confused with being selfish.
Actually, life is showing that the more we accept who we are, the more space and understanding we have for others.
