REACHING FOR OUR DREAMS

ATTITUDE

A positive attitude is more than half the battle won. When we instill in a child the excitement of exploring all things in depth, it opens doors to easy learning. When our lessons and journeys are made exciting and interesting we are eager to learn even more because it has become an adventure, a detective story, intriguing experiment in life. There are two sides to a coin, two ways of looking at life....sit and watch life go by, or we can be the life that goes by.....there are two forces at play...light and darkness, can and can't, will and won't. When this positive side of us is awoken as a child we tend to negotiate life far better and see obstacles and hinderences as adventures to explore and unravel. Needless to say we are always busy living life, always on the go, when one thing crashes, we simply bounce to the next. We have had the privilege to learn from our parents that we don't need the right tools to get the thing done....we compromise.....we make do with that which is at hand....modify and reshape what we have until it fits on the job we need it for.....and the amazing thing is these children rarely, if ever, complain or cry about injustices, or unfairness, or lack of opportunity or anything else. They don't have the time, every minute is a minute they can use to discover new exciting things....and they always enjoy the journey. It is not about getting from A to Z......it is all about what lays between A and Z....these are the doers, the makers of life, the winners, they may never have big bank accounts because they spend their money on their experiences, but they are so incredibly wealthy with knowledge, wisdom, experience and beautiful memories, their lives are a million books in one all flowing in and out of the next one. A positive attitude and outlook on life is one of the greatest gifts our parents can give us, like a cat, we always land on our feet. Regardless how many hardships come our way, we always manage to pop up from the darkness back into the light......a great gift indeed.... ©
