“I have seen many storms in my life. Most storms have caught me by surprise, so I had to learn very quickly to look further and understand that I am not capable of controlling the weather, to exercise the art of patience, and to respect the fury of nature.” ~Paulo Coelho It took me a while to learn this one, but it applies to children perfectly. The less I try to control my son, exert my will over his, and demand obedience, the more cooperative, happy, and relaxed we all are! Respect the fury of nature – and nature’s children – so true!
