Can you imagine a planet where everything was the same colour and the shape? Imagine if there were no mountains or valleys and that all we had were flat, never-ending plains? Imagine if those self-same plains and everything that grew on them were exactly the same colour. Let us not even go into the animal kingdom – the picture is already horrible! It is a fact that one of the features of our planet earth that we all delight in as human beings is the huge variety of landscapes, flora and fauna that we are blessed with. Read more…

This short story is not original to me and what I have done is fiddled with it a bit to illustrate a point about our relationships. Look carefully at your relationship.

The Propositions of the Quantum World.
- Life has no interest in your losing.
- Life will not give you something you cannot handle.
- Life will always give you everything you need to handle what you are confronted with.
- Life will always support you in it’s way.
- If you say you can’t, Life will agree with you.
- It is your existing opinions, belief systems and points of view that are keeping you where you are.

Some thoughts on Parenting.
- Be very clear as to why you are having children. It is a 20 year one sided commitment. They owe you nothing.
- Do some study about who and what you are. That way you can be the guide and mentor you have undertaken to be.
- Treat them as you would like to be treated. Would you like a 4m tall giant yelling at you?
- Be fair – both in the fact as well as the perception. Their standards are not the same as yours.
- Keep your word. Be VERY careful what to say to them. They have a disconcerting habit of taking you literally.
- Be present 24/7. This not easy – sorry about that!
- Your task is to create a space where they can become who they are, not whom you want them to be.
- Watch out for the transmission of your fears. 9. Be prepared to work hard.
- Have fun.
These are all very tricky indeed. Perhaps the trickiest is No 2. This is at least a two year project, so if you want to breed get busy!
