​🎓Recap (November 27, 2023)

Through our lens as caregivers:

• 🏹 From the Ramayana - King Dasharatha bestows kingship to Bhagavan Sri Rama, but followed this with an unexpected exile. Sri Rama, responding with a smile, affirms his commitment to follow the leader's words and prioritize long-term goals.🕊️
• 🌟 Our primary responsibility in life is self-love. By loving ourselves, we can help others love themselves. 💖
• 💓Love that doesn't grow is not love. Once we love ourselves, it naturally expands to family, community, society, humanity, and Divinity. 🫶
• 🌈 Feel Acceptance - don't think or speak negatively. 🙅‍♂️

From the perspective of those we care for:

• 🏹In the Ramayana - Constructing the Rama Setu (Dharma Setu) or the bridge of responsibility involved animals with diverse strengths – strong bears, agile monkeys, and even squirrels, each contributing according to their abilities.🐿️
• 🤗 Each child is unique and deserving of care. Recognize their individual strengths to make them feel valued. 🌟
• 📝Simplify responsibilities: prioritize being happy, being kind, and being part of the whole. 👶👧
