The Greatest Gift For Your Children

A woman asserts that it is very difficult for her to detach from the idea that her own happiness is tied to whether her daughters are also happy. Rupert replies: ‘If your happiness is dependent on something outside of yourself, your daughters’ well-being or anything else, then that is the message that you are subliminally sending them all the time. The greatest gift you could give your daughters – after you’ve taken care of their immediate needs – is to let them know that the peace and the joy for which they long above all else resides in their being, not in relationships. And the only way you can give that to your daughters is if you know that for yourself. To be courageous.’ He goes on to encourage her: ‘Even in the face of your children’s sorrow, which you feel as your own sorrow in your heart, you have to feel that behind that, there is a place in you that is free, that is untouched, and that is the place of peace, the place of quiet joy.
