Loving Parenting

I have spent some time thinking today about what it's all about. As a parent it has always been important to me to make sure I bring my son up to become a peaceful person and to have respect for himself and others. It hasn't always been easy. It has been incredibly rewarding though. I've just finished reading The Buddha in Daily Life, a book by Richard Causton which is an introduction to Nichiren Daishonin Buddhism. While I was reading the book, I experienced some illuminating realisations. I wished I had made some notes. However, what was most important for me was to read the book and absorb the material.
During the time I spent reading, I realised more and more that I have a really great relationship with my teenage son. I notice each day how parents interact with their children and I believe that one of the ways to lasting peace is for parents to develop a greater understanding of who their child is, to encourage them to be who they are and to support them to be true to themselves.
Like I mentioend earlier, it hasn't always been easy bringing up a young man in today's anti young people society. I have often gone against the grain because I have given him the opportunity to find his own way and to make decisions and choices based on the information he has available to him. I see today a young adult who has a strong sense of who he is and what he wants from life. We have our moments of conflict, however, we resolve things in a way that shows respect and one that mostly nurtures a self who is valued and loved. This, I wholeheartedly believe, is a way towards lasting global peace.

Finding your soul mate

If you have been in and out of relationships and are wondering how on Earth you are ever going to find the love of your life here's something that may help:

There is so much information online these days telling you how to do things and then you have to sign up and pay for something to receive the full story. I trawled the internet, bookshops, signed up for courses, coaching, workshops, seminars, you name it I signed up for it. I eventually realised that all the information I was being given I already knew.

To be able to attract the right person for your life, you first need to become the person you need to be to attract the right person. You also need to know what you're ordering from the Universe. If this doesn't make much sense, try this:

Picture yourself going out for dinner. You go to your favourite restaurant, order your favourite meal and ask the waiter/waitress to bring you a large glass of your favourite red wine. You are able to picture this quite easily I would imagine, this is because you know what you want. You have deliberately gone out to your favourite restaurant to experience a night of what you want, fine food, good wine, served by people you recognise and trust to serve you well. When your wine and food are brought to your table however, you realise that the wine is Chardonnay and the food you ordered is steak and you're a vegetarian!

How is this possible?

What would you do?

Would you return the food?

Would you ask for the correct wine?

Would you get up and leave?

You are unlikely to accept the meat dish, and you will most likely request that the wine is taken back and you are brought the one that you originally requested. You may even change your mind about the whole thing and walk out to go somewhere else!

Now...

When you are thinking about your soul mate, what do you do?

Do you have a list of the qualities you are looking for?

Would you recognise your soul mate if you were introduced?



This is something you may wish to consider when you are dating or thinking about the kind of person you would like to spend your life with. Before you get to this point, however, it is seriously worth considering the qualities you yourself are bringing to the relationship.

Developments

It's coming up to the weekend and I have been on a great journey of discovery this week. I am really enjoying delivering my love classes and those who are taking part in them are learning valuable lessons in love. I am so grateful to have been given the opportunity to share this information with others. I've learnt and shared so much over the last few years and feel such a buzz when I see the light bulbs going off on the faces of those who are working with me. It's so great to know that the many realisations people experience during the lessons are bringing them closer to attracting and building the perfect relationship for their life. Several years ago when I first began this journey, I couldn't have anticipated a greater outcome. I wish you all a very happy fun and loving weekend. Smile from the inside, and it shows on the outside. Love to all

Slumdog Millionaire

I went to watch this film at the cinema and can't wait to get hold of a copy of the DVD as it is such a feel good film, I want to be able to watch it over and over again. The visuals, music and story line make for totally compelling viewing. If you haven't seen the film already, I recommend you get a copy of the DVD as you will definitely not be disappointed, well actually you might feel disappointed that you didn't go to see it at the cinema, but you won't be disappointed with the film. It keeps you gripped from beginning to end.
I look forward to hearing from you with your comments about this post, and if you buy a copy of the film I'd love to hear what you thought of it! Peace and love to all
