Look at life through the eyes of a child, who is amazed and awed by the wonders of the world.
Can you imagine approaching your day as if you did not dread it, anticipating it to be boring, routine, possibly stressful or dreadful? Can you find something in your life today to look at closely, to appreciate, to find interesting, delightful, or wonderful?
St. Paul writes, “When I was child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man [woman], I put childish ways behind me.” (1 Corinthians 13:11)
I think that life might be better if we did not put away all of our childish ways. I think that we would enjoy life more if we approached it with the wonderment and delight of a child. Perhaps our enjoyment of life might spill over to those around us and they just might just have a good day.
So cute!
I think so too. I changed the post; what do you think of it?
It gives an calming effect! I love it lots. Sometimes when you visit a post it will just invite you in and let you feel at home – this is how it feels to me.
Approaching my day with that outlook! Elle is yummy!
So am I!
I love this post 🙂 So true!
Your granddaughter is so adorably! Love this post.
She remains just absolutely gorgeous! And, I really agree with your post. I’m a huge fan of Albert Einstein, and I love his quote about approaching life as either 1) everything is a miracle or 2) nothing is a miracle. He kept that childlike wonder and curiosity about him until the day he died, and I think that’s what made him such an intelligent creature.
“I think that life might be better if we did not put away all of our childish ways”
I agree completely… Especially when it comes to spending time time with our partners. Sadly it does not work out too well when one feels this way and the other one does not.
Yes Marcus, you are so right. But we learn and grow and in our growing maybe we become strong enough to be childlike. My granddaughter helps me to play and laugh.
