How parents can shift from boss to guardian angel and why this is important

The Lefkoe Freedom Course – Waiting List for September 2019

Previous things that used to frequently upset me no longer do because through this course I truly got that my experience of life comes from the meaning I’m giving everything in the moment, and that meaning is not the same as what’s actually happening in the real world, and now I can also change that meaning whenever I want to do something else I’d enjoy more.

This material from the Lefkoe Institute has allowed me to have more choice and control over how life shows up for me, and I would recommend it to anyone who’s looking for more choice in how they experience their life.

Martin: Hi, everyone. It’s Martin Rutte with Project Heaven On Earth, and I have a very special guest and friend today, Shelly Lefkow. Shelly, tell the audience a little bit about what you do.

Shelly: Well, I do two things. I help people eliminate the beliefs that keep them from having the lives they want, and after 30 years of doing that, I’ve come to my real passion, which is empowering parents to help their kids live the lives that we all wish we could have.

Martin: So, let me put it another way for you, because I think you’d be a real good expert on this. So, what is heaven on earth for parenting?

Shelly: For me, heaven on earth for parenting would be treating our children with dignity and respect, loving them unconditionally, which means letting them know that I’m never mad at you. I may be mad at what you did, but I love you without condition. And I think that most important thing that we could do for our children is to shift the paradigm of parenting from being their boss, the boss of them, to being their guardian angel.

So, if you were your child’s guardian angel, how would you speak to them? What would you do? What would be different in the way you treated your children? So, your job as a parent is to facilitate your children to create positive beliefs about themselves and life. And if they have positive beliefs, they’ll be contributing, successful, joyful human beings. I promise.

Martin: So, could another way of saying that would be, they would be angels or… I was going to say “agents of heaven and earth,” but angels of heaven and earth is an even better way.

Shelly: Well, it would be heaven on earth if we raised conscious children who were free to be their authentic selves. So, I have a friend here at a conference that we’re at who used to have certain religious beliefs and she said, “I don’t believe in abortion, but if my daughter had one, I would love her, and Jesus would love her. And I don’t believe in sex before marriage, but if my daughter wants to have sex before marriage, I’ll take her for birth control.”

That to me is heaven on earth. Here’s what I believe, but if she believes something different, I honor that. And I believe that raising a conscious generation of children can create heaven on earth, because if we treat our children with dignity and respect, they will grow up to treat others with dignity and respect. And that’s heaven on earth.

Martin: Lovely. Thank you.

I receive an overwhelming number of daily emails linking to blogs, most of which I glance at and delete. I actually read most of Morty’s and Shelly’s. They write well about fascinating ideas and teachings. They have a clear, intelligent logical approach, and more importantly write from experience with heart, warmth, honesty and vulnerability.

Just a quick note to thank you for your weekly insightfulness and addition to your courses through your weekly blog. I find it helpful to read your blog weekly as it reinforces the work that we have done together. I see the value in it for those who have not participated in your work. It gives them a place to enter the conversation and begin to glean a new understanding of themselves and others around them. Most of all thank you for contributing to my life and those you are reaching. To a prosperous and joyous 2014.

I've been reading Morty's blog off and on for about 3 years and I have to say that it is the best source of self improvement information out there today. Every week, he posts a new article full of content on how you can improve yourself and your life by eliminating the beliefs and meanings we give in every moment of our lives each and everyday. The blog articles stretch my perception of reality, and how I view the world.

Mortylefkoe.com is an incredible resource of information - sort of an encyclopedia of personal development. I often use the search tool to read articles in reference to certain topics I'm curious about or am working on in my life. Practically any topic you might be curious about, Morty has an article chuck full of life-altering information in it. It is an almost never-ending source of information and actionable steps to improve your life.

No matter how well you know Morty and his work, you will learn a TON from it and grow as a person. It is a great intro to his work, as well as a great way to dive deeper. I am personally very grateful that he continues to write in it his new thoughts and techniques. It has helped me incredibly in my life!

There's more actionable advice in Morty's blog than in most of the self-help books out there (I know because I've read most of them). Plus it's free. So I urge you to start reading it, today!

I never miss Morty's weekly blogs. They put his work into concise and clear terms. He shows how the Lefkoe Method applies to a myriad of real human situations that cause suffering to most people. He explains how to eliminate this suffering by eliminating the core beliefs that fuel it such as "I'm a failure." He also demonstrates how his method differs from psychotherapy and is often more effective at producing long-lasting change in less time. … The blogs are different from his other services or products in that you don't need to buy them, schedule a session, or order a book. They are … brief, reader-friendly language, enough to read on a 10 minute break from work, for instance. The best part is I've seen positive changes in my own life that come directly from his blogs. This means a lot coming from a psychotherapist trained extensively in models of psychotherapy. I've also found them useful in my work with my own clients and to complement many theories of psychotherapy. I could go on effusively about Morty's magnificent blogs but I think I've already made my point.

Thank you! I've read and considered the concept of creating my own world many many times but this is the first time I've actually experienced and felt it at my core. As you point out, it is one thing to know something intellectually and another to actually feel it and fully believe it. Thank you so much. This was truly a positive life changing experience. I will pass it on to all of my friends. I wish you every happiness and continued success.

-Shirley

I have to tell you that you really broke something open for me when you shared your story about creating obstacles for yourself, because you thought your value was in how hard you could work to overcome those obstacles. Listening to you was a major "Aha!" moment for me - I realized I had been doing the same thing! I've experience enormous and recurring relief, knowing that I don't ever have to struggle again, and I'm perfectly worthwhile. Opportunities that I have been wanting for a long time have come pouring through the door since that "Aha!" moment...so thank you for putting your material out into the world!"
