Today, an impactful Father’s Day Meditation! For Father’s Day, we celebrate fathers, father figures, and those who inspire, encourage, guide, and love us to be all we can be. I invite you to read the beautiful quotes below. Then, pick one and sit with it quietly. Take it in and find a moment to appreciate who you are and the impact your father had on you and the way you parent. Then let peace walk with you through the day. Happy Father’s Day!
“To her, the name of the father was another name for love.” Anonymous
“My father gave me the greatest gift anyone could give another person, he believed in me.” Jim Valvano
“A father is a man who expects his son to be as good a man as he meant to be.” Frank A. Clark
“Being a great father is like shaving. No matter how good you shaved today, you have to do it again tomorrow.” Reed Markham
“I cannot think of any need in childhood as strong as the need for a father’s protection.” Sigmund Freud
“It is a wise father that knows his own child.” Shakespeare
“When I was a boy of 14, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be 21, I was astonished at how much he had learned in seven years.” Mark Twain
“You don’t raise heroes, you raise sons. And if you treat them like sons, they’ll turn out to be heroes, even if it’s just in your own eyes.” Walter M. Schirra, Sr.
“I believe that what we become depends on what our fathers teach us at odd moments, when they aren’t trying to teach us. We are formed by little scraps of wisdom.” Umberto Eco
Perhaps you would like to give the gift of mindfulness to your dad. It is one of the greatest gifts to share with another and a perfect way to thank dad for all he is to you. Or, maybe even join him on a journey to learn more about yourself and ways to stay grounded in the moment. Try this free webinar. I invite you to Return to Center with me. Join me for Mindfulness, Yoga, and Meditation here.
Love, Light, Prayers, and Peace!
