The Four Most Important Things In The World

The four most important things in the world are as follows--love, trust, responsibility and freedom. And, to get even a little more specific--not only is love the most important thing in the world, obviously, but the ABILITY TO RECEIVE LOVE, is the most important thing in the world.

This quality must be built inside of you while you are a child. This is because when you are a child, you are in formation mode. Just as your body is forming, and using all of the ingredients that are fed into it to do so, so it is when your soul is forming; it is using all of the ingredients that are fed into it. If it is consistently fed love, taught to trust, and gradually but consistently taught responsibility, then that is going to be the makeup of that person. When you reach adulthood, you are going to naturally, without thinking about it, walk around receiving love, trusting, and being responsible, which includes being able to handle freedom.

The point--if you are already walking around doing these things, be grateful. If you are struggling with any of them, realize why and choose to grow in them now. And, most importantly of all, TEACH YOUR CHILDREN THESE FOUR THINGS. Teach them: how to receive love, by loving them consistently: how to trust, by providing them an atmosphere of safety: how to be responsible, by consistently providing them opportunities to be responsible for themselves (age appropriate, of course): and how to be free, by, again, providing them opportunities to practice responsibility.
