To my dear daughter...
There are many things I'd like to tell you... teach you...
I'd like to tell you that YOU ARE WONDERFUL. Always look for happiness and contentment within you. It is far too difficult to find it without.
I'd like to teach you to understand people, empathize with others. But in today's big, bad world, it is equally important to be vary of fraudsters. The puzzle is how far to be trusting, and when to be suspicious of other's motives. It is a fine line, I presume. I haven't succeeded in learning this either; am merely on the path figuring this out... But I recognize this is a vital skill for a successful and contented life.
I'd like to emphasize how to take time bound decisions, not hasty ones, mind you, but fast enough that one does not lose focus. Another way to say it: Practice the do-it-now principle- If it takes less than two minutes to do it, do-it-now!
I'd like to direct you to the Flylady system. It frees you up for the more important things in life and takes care of the mundane without letting you slip up on everyday life. Maintain order in life, always. It helps.
I'd like to warn you never to hurt with words. It is always better to conceal true feelings if they can lead to pain. Yet again, reflectively think and decide if silence is indeed the best option.
I'd like to instill in you a pristine love for nature. Trust me, my dear, that's the closest we'll ever to come to God. Grow a small, pretty garden wherever you are. A beautiful garden is the true temple of God.
I'd like to pass on to you my love of books and reading. That's the easiest way - to stand on the shoulders of giants. One learns and learns and grows and grows as a human being in small and big ways if one reads and reads...
I'd like to teach you to accept changes with grace. They are often inevitable. It might even be a beautiful experience if only you could embrace it with enthusiasm.
PS: There are many more things I'd like to tell you; So I shall revisit this post occasionally as I progress.
