No Ego

If you think of the times when you felt the most at peace, the happiest, they were probably times when you were involved in something that you loved, were totally engaged in. Most likely you had no agenda, no expectations and no personal needs. When you are with your kids, how much of what you do involves a sense of urgency, need and validation? Are goals and expectations foremost or is the time spent with your children the most important? Take stock of your motivation when you are in the classroom. Choose your target, plot your course and then put it all on the shelf and enjoy the time you spend with your kids. Involve yourself totally in what you are doing and release yourself from the burden of aims and objectives. If you have done your own homework, be confident that what you do will be considerately more effective if your heart is totally in it and you are not cluttered with personal agendas and self importance. Then the experience will clearly be more meaningful and joyful.
