Sense of Wonder
How's your sense of wonder these days? As we age and gain experience, we so often lose our sense of wonder at how the world operates and in losing our wonder, we lose our ability to see the possibility or the richness of any given, ordinary situation. We should be able to live our whole lives with a "childlike" sense of wonder because the world is that good of a place.
Nothing is more important in this world than to keep trying. Instead of looking at obstacles as the end of the road, it takes an open mind and a willingness to try anyway. The courage I have used to pick myself up when life got hard is the source of my happiness today.
When you are able to find that inner strength, nothing will keep you down. Every moment that is not perfect will be fleeting, and all the great ones will be the ones that last. So, never lose your sense of wonder — it will nourish you at every age.
