“Your children are not your children.
They are sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself.
They come through you but not from you.
And though they are with you yet they belong not to you.

You may give them your love but not your thoughts,
For they have their own thoughts.
You may house their bodies but not their souls,
For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.
You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you.
For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.
You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth....."
Khalil Gibran

Henri Cartier Bresson - Rue Mouffetard, Paris, 1954.

Introverts may have strong social skills and enjoy parties and business meetings, but after a while wish they were home in their pyjamas. They prefer to devote their social energies to close friends, colleagues, and family. They listen more than they talk, think before they speak, and often feel as if they express themselves better in writing than in conversation. They tend to dislike conflict. Many have a horror of small talk, but enjoy deep discussions.

Emotional agility begins with recognizing that you are not your feelings.

When you say, "I am sad," your identity becomes fused with the emotion. You become this gray cloud of sadness.

Instead, when you say, "I notice that I'm feeling sad," you create space between yourself and the emotion. You become the sky, and the gray cloud of sadness is simply passing through.

You. You are not the cloud. You are the whole damn sky! 🌅
