As children deeply associate with the knowledge that each of us is connected to the other and to God (the original source of power that gives us life, light, and love), they can be raised with self-esteem that is undeniable, unshakable, and unable to be destroyed. When they truly understand that many religious principles are universal laws that work with the same efficacy as physical laws (i.e., the law of gravity), they will be able to access the unlimited resources of the universe and develop a habitual practice of expecting and manifesting their highest potential.
