Most young children look at things from an optimistic point of view. But as we get older, pessimism is in. Cynicism is a way to show how smart you are. Sarcasm is cool.
Except it’s not.
Not even close to as cool as this:
We often wonder where kids get all their energy from…
Try beginning your day *enthusiastically* reciting (out loud) everything you’re thankful for and the things you’re good at, and tell me if you don’t have a little hop in your step.
Optimism. Enthusiasm. And a spirit of gratitude. It is (and always has been) the only way to change the world.
This is fantastic. It’s tragic that we lose that kind of enthusiasm in the societal structure that we have. We need lots lots more of this.
Indeed!
