What is this?
I want you to think about a time when you have witnessed someone displaying child-like wonder. Maybe you remember their smile, or that uncontrolled giggle, or eyes filled with excitement and joy.
Maybe you have not seen it in a long time or have actually forgotten what it feels and looks like to see the world in this way.
We tend to lose our sense of wonder when we start to make assumptions. Assumptions that we know what things are for and how they should be used. Assumptions about what we should expect and how things will turn out.
But when we stop to make these pre-programmed assumptions, when we stop and choose to see possibilities, choose to see the awe, and wonder in the everyday, then, this is when we can rediscover our sense of child-like wonder.
A little child-like wonder can go a long way toward finding happiness. It can help someone find hope where others don’t. It can also help a person choose to see the positive things in life, regardless of difficulties and challenges.
Ultimately, it’s about seeing that there are possibilities beyond our adult assumptions. Let that child-like wonder back into your life. Who knows where it could take you.
Now, again, without assumptions what is this?
What do you see with your child-like wonder glasses on?
Approach the day with child-like wonder.
