Of course I don't know this completely, not being a parent yet, but I think it must just be a series of long-term and short-term investments, deciding which to pick when, what battles to fight and when.

Love your high beams and spotlight analogy and it does seem so much easier (for many of us) to highlight another, rather than ourselves.<br /><br />But best is the idea of <i>being</i> a source of light, not necessarily shining light (from the outside) onto ourselves. A certain measure of that is necessary (in the real world), but glowing from within - if possible, even now and then - to be luminous, to embody it, how wonderful that would be. <br /><br />Not just for ourselves, but for those we love.BigLittleWolfhttp://dailyplateofcrazy.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9218017137310902714.post-71032939586406892312013-01-20T12:14:48.045-05:002013-01-20T12:14:48.045-05:00"I want nothing because I have everything.&qu..."I want nothing because I have everything."<br /><br />It's a gorgeous sentiment.
