Children are Projections of Yourself

This came to me in the shower today (which happens a lot as so many of you know now):  Your children come into this world as projections of the best of you...until they are taught and conditioned to be otherwise. 


Nothing earthshaking as far as new news, but yet it wouldn't have come through unless it was meant for someone to ponder on.  I feel there are some who are too hard on themselves looking back at their choices or at a current crossroads, and fearing that their kids will somehow suffer from decisions made in the past and future. 

Look at your children and see your true reflections of innocence and wholeness.  If you see something else, then look within and see where you need to create a better belief about yourself and where you need to take better care of yourself.  Your kids will follow suit naturally without forcing it.  It's the strangest thing how that works, but not a surprise since they look up to us for all their needs and follow our example, learning from us whether it's positive or negative. 

If your child is full of awe, wonder, innocence, and joy, remember that you still have that within you as well and you can always reclaim it no matter what you've been through in life.  In this case, let your child be your teacher and leader to follow the example of.  :)
