Day # 10,462 - What I've Learned from My Kids

These little people have taken over my life, but They've taught me so many valuable lessons. Here are a few that I'd like to share:

1. There is no such thing as tiredness
   Every time either one of them is going to bed is because they want it, not because they're tired. It’s like a little concession thay make to us, the parents, when they sees that we barely can keep our eyes opened. Tiredness is a state of mind. The way theyre is connected with other sources of energy, and their uninterrupted flow of actions, are just so incredible. I just want to reconnect to those sources sometimes…
2. No hard feelings
   She’s never having any regrets at all. I start to believe that regrets are the invention of the grown up people. It’s something that we invented in order to escape happiness. The gap between her sadness and happiness moments is zero. She’s moving through her emotions with zero efforts and zero regrets. Whenever I manage to do this I’m experiencing an incredible state of joy and happiness…
3. Don’t hate, ignore
   I’m amazed about the way he's treating other kids. If he likes them, he’s playing with them. If not, he’s simply ignoring them, regardless of what they are doing. He doesn’t know the word “revenge”, nor the concept itself, and even if he’s forced to share the same space with an aggressive kid, he’s just ignoring him. It’s like the other guy doesn’t exists in the same space. So much to learn from this… (Update: Miles has had his first taste of flesh (sorry DCGF),but other than that he's no hater;))
4. Everyone can (and sometimes wants) to be manipulated
   The moment she learned to conscioussly cry, she learned how to manipulate us. We’re doing our best not to fall for these phases, but it’s not about that. It’s about the fact that most of the people can (and most of the time want) to be manipulated (please read “influenced” here), and that’s one of the most important things she's taught me. Don’t think everything or everyone is set in stone, you can change everything or everyone - including yourself - if you really want…
