Through the eyes of a child...

...the world is simply an amazing place. We often take for granted the everyday things that we encounter. We, as adults, worry about mortgages and car payments; is our SUV the latest and greatest of anyone’s on the block? Perhaps, if your world is going in this insane circle, you should sit back and view it through a child's eyes. They see things like their friends, their family and that is what makes their world complete...they do not view every person of different belief as a potential enemy, and they share with anyone who needs it (as well as some that do not.) They smile with all they have, and they love unconditionally. They welcome new experiences and will try to do something until they succeed. The word fail does not exist in their vocabulary, until someone teaches it to them. They do not hate, do not fear and know no boundaries on their hearts. If all their clothes are hand me downs, or don't match just right...if their hair is a mess and if they do not have the best stroller on the block, it simply is none of their concern. We need to take a lesson from our children, a page from their coloring book, and spend the day not worrying about if our clothes are the latest fashion, or if the girl in the next cubicle is going to get the promotion over me since she is skinnier. Take your kids out, before the weather turns completely freezing, and play with them. Walk barefoot in the grass, on the beach, in the sand. Watch as they laugh over nothing, and then in perfect contentment, take your hand. Let them lead you for a day and see what a vast difference you view point becomes, because they are the leaders of tomorrow...this is their future you are creating...you are the link to their being able to create a world of potential and hope, instead of one that is all fear and sadness. Pay attention to them, listen to them and love them...for that is truly what life is all about. Until next time...
