Teach Children Happiness

We fail our children when we do not teach them that happiness is their birthright, despite all outward circumstance. Teach them to tap the infinite light of the heart, which the world cannot overshadow, any more than a passing cloud can snuff out the sun. Giving of that light is their greatest service to others. But if I task my child with saving the world, and do not first lead her through meditation to the wellspring of beauty within, I burden her with grief.
