“Making daisy chains takes my mind off”

We need to listen more to our kids, they are the true teachers.

I was making daisy chains with our daughter today – actually she taught me how to make daisy chains. Seeing her work quietly, I asked her what was going through her mind.

Her answer was worthy of a Zen master:

I don’t think anything when I make daisy chains. Making daisy chains takes my mind off.

Had I asked the same question to any adult, I would have gotten a long list of unrelated thoughts back. 🙂

There’s a lot to learn from out daughter.

• Be in the moment. Focus on what you’re doing.

• Don’t worry about other things while you’re doing what you like.

• Find pleasure and passion in the things you’re doing right now.

Watch your kids closely, there’s a lot we can learn from them!
