Let the Kids Live.

Let the kids live, there will be plenty of time for this adult bullshit.  How many times have you wished for younger days?

We can teach, but not for anything other than to help our children.  Don't belittle them when they don't listen.

They just don't understand.  They have to learn it for themselves.

Be there with them as they learn these life lessons, instead of saying "I told you so."

There are the rare few that WANT to be 'taught' anything, most want to learn it for themselves.

Every Day

Every single day of life is an entire experience.  So many good things happens, so many bad things happen and so many, well... just things happen. 

Every single human on earth experiences life until they don't. Just like you. 

Every single living human on earth thinks, dreams, hopes, fears, loves, hates, tries, fails, succeeds, and dies.  Also just like you. 

Life isn't always easy, but that doesn't have to make you believe that it's impossible. 

I tell myself, every single day, that: 

"I am in complete control of how I feel. I decide what makes me happy. No one can affect my mood unless I allow them to."

Close your eyes and find yourself.  When you do, take your own hand and tell yourself, "It's going to be okay. This is our life. We cannot control what happens outside, but in here we are safe."

Then ask, "Where do you want to go from here?"
