A friend of mine said we should be more like children. He was referring to the fact that children learn much quicker than adults. I am afraid that as adults, to learn as quickly as children is not possible. But I do agree that we should be more like children.
It would be a wonderful thing to be able to see the world with new eyes every day, as if the world were brand new. As a child I could see the magic of life all around me. As we get older we seem to lose this ability to see the wonder and splendor of the world. But it's still there. It has not gone away. We have just stopped seeing it.
So maybe we do need to be more like children. And maybe, we need to stop being so caught up in our own individual worries and concerns, and take the time to really look around us in order to see the magic that surrounds us as we go about our lives. There is so much in the world to appreciate, and to treasure.
I am not always as thankful as I should be. The world is an amazing place. We should not waste this great gift, but give it all the appreciation we can.
