We raise our kids to succeed!
That’s not what they want, or will ever want!
They want to feel strong!
We need to be raising our young to be strong!
That’s what they want!
That’s what all life wants!
Given a choice, they will choose strength every time!
It’s their life, not ours!
We are raising helpless kids right now!
We shouldn’t be doing that!
Why?
We have thrown an enormous advantage to the bad guys! Our world is in chaos because of that.
As adults, our children can’t compete with selfish and destructive people!
Check the news! The selfish and the ignorant have been steadily gaining.
The way we all behave now is nothing like who people really are!
We are making people either crazy or weak!
Look at those causing worldwide chaos!
Were they encouraged to grow through their own power as children, or were they controlled?
Those growing from their own power are never destructive!
Strength, morals, and love come from within!
We need to support that!
But, we don’t! We support only obedience!
An obedient population cannot face adversity!
And, we aren’t!
We’re losing!
THOSE WITHOUT HEART
Damaged kids can become evil! They don’t need to be strong. They just have to find enough other damaged kids to create fear!
A small group can then control millions of people!
There is only one way that can happen!
There has to be no opposing strength!
Well, now, there isn’t!
Which is the result when we bring up our young to feel helpless!
They complain about insufficient self-esteem, while evil people dominate the world!
Our kids have no power!
That’s our fault! We don’t support their power!
All other life supports their offspring!
For all our brilliance, we have failed in our most important task!
Our kids become helpless, then as adults they argue among themselves, and meanwhile the cruel takeover!
REAL HUMAN POWER!
That comes from within!
Every kid is born with enough backbone to take on the world!
We are removing that! Why?
We have endangered the entire human race!
Life needs only support! It doesn’t ever need to be controlled!
It is at its kindest when strong! Want loving children?
Then allow them to be strong!
People get mean when controlled!
That’s where evil comes from!
How ironic is it that allowing children to power their own lives produces the strongest and most loving, cooperative adults, and we don’t know that?
How could we be so smart, and still not understand human basics!
Uncooperative and destructive people are always the ones most disciplined.
Those allowed independence and strength are always cooperative, strong, and loving!
Why? Life comes from within! Strength comes from within!
Our children, these days, have lost too many battles!
Their identities are never allowed to succeed!
They get crushed!
They become disconnected from their needs, feelings, instincts, and their self-esteem.
Can you feel yours?
You used to be able to!
We are all angry and anxious, and don’t know why!
We became adults in that condition!
Losing connection with our identity removes our sense of right and wrong. We have lost our moral compass!
Those of us still trying to do the right thing do it on purpose, but not from instincts anymore!
Only the strong still have that! They remain connected with their needs and instincts, that’s why!
How do we make a person strong?
They start out strong!
We need to encourage that, instead of destroying it!
We do that by supporting and encouraging their efforts!
We allow them to be themselves!
They will amaze us!
They will also love and respect us!
They will continue to learn at the same amazing pace that allowed them to learn walking and talking as though it were easy!
Supported, their learning won’t slow down as it does now.
It only settles down now because of discouragement!
Life is designed to succeed through its own efforts.
It’s not designed to roll over and do as it’s told!
It’s designed to survive and succeed at all costs! All on its own!
What about us?
What if we can’t feel our feelings, identities, needs, or power anymore?
Is there hope for us?
Feelings are the key and the measuring stick of our physical and emotional health!
If we are anxious and avoiding some feelings, we need to turn that around!
That’s our anxiety!
The feelings we are avoiding won’t be comfortable!
They can return us to feeling strong again though.
The feelings that we avoid are a doorway that we keep closed.
The doorway back to our own identity, needs, power, and instincts!
Dwelling on those, sharing them, and learning to accept them, is the only thing that can open that door once again!
It’s possible, and it happens, but we sure could get better at helping each other do it!
But first, we need to never again cause that door to close on our kids. They need to feel powerful if our world is to survive!
Thanks for listening.
