How is the Tao able to be present for all beings?
Because it has no desires for itself
and can therefore accept you
however you may struggle,
however you may fail.
There is always room for you.
Detach yourself from the seeming
successes and failures of your children.
By doing so you become able to be one with them at all times .
You do not live your life
through your children.
Therefore they are free
to find their own true fulfillment.
*Can you encourage your children
without attaching too much importance to the outcome?
Can you attend your child's game or contest
and cheer for every good play
and every good effort
of all players on both sides?
Can you encourage anyone, on either side, who
makes mistakes?
Does this seem unnatural? Impossible?
Try it.
You will thoroughly enjoy the game
and teach your child a wonderful truth.
