“Silver linings abound: I always knew I loved my son, but you certainly get a “perspective-check” when you go through a parting like that. His despair is tough to bear witness to, but reinforces how dearly he loves me. It strengthens my already tough resolve to remain as a positive influence in his life, despite the geographic distance between us.” SeparationParents And ChildrenParental LoveParental GuidanceFatherhood ParentingKeep In TouchPersonal ResolveSorrow In Parting Book:Finding Fatherhood Source: Finding Fatherhood
“ENJOY LIFE! Can’t go wrong with that motto, I think. No matter what activity one engages in, from the simple to the complex, from the mundane to the exciting, it is very worthwhile to keep a non-judgmental mindset. Enjoy every experience for what it is—do not compare it to prior experiences, nor set it up against your expectations, or the expectations of others. In this fashion, no matter what experience unfolds, it will be appreciated. The key as a parent is to encourage your offspring to adopt a like mindset. As well, as a parent, do not concern yourself whether your child is getting “full-value” for your money.” MindfulnessEnjoy LifeOpen MindednessKeep An Open MindAppreciating LifeGo With The FlowIn The MomentParental GuidanceExperience In The Moment Author:Rob Kozak
