Choose to be your child's best friend, than just a parent. If we view ourselves as mere catalysts__and not the cause__in the creation of these unique works of art, our children, we will stop being demanding of them. We must tell them what we believe is right and wrong but we must never impose our opinions. When we trust our children’s choices, they always respond responsibly!

You can’t live their Life for them and you can’t always solve their problems. Once they are ready to fly away, just let them go. Even if they struggle, stumble and fall, eventually, they will always find their way – discovering meaning, love and Happiness. Such is the process of Life; simply, trust the process!

It is never about memorizing and knowing the answers but it is all about asking more questions. True education does not come from being at school alone. It comes from seeking, travel, lived experiences, experiments – and it often comes from failing. And, without doubt, true education brings Happiness!!

Fear is the absence of Faith. Fear and Faith cannot co-exist. And when you are not in Fear, when you have Faith and trust the process of Life, then you won’t even need to lean on a crutch called God.

When an aircraft is flying through turbulence, the pilot advises that you fasten your seatbelt. Similarly, in Life too, when dealing with upheavals, you must learn to hold on to a great coping device – Faith. Keeping the Faith simply means trusting the process of Life; knowing that you will always be provided for, cared for and looked after!
