I had a conversation with my 3 year old niece Aaliyah tonight.
She lights my life up every single solitary time I talk to her. She has just a vibrant personality and at three she is one of the smartest young ladies I know. I talked to her tonight about what "Santa" was to bring her. You could hear the excitement in her voice before I could even get the question completely out. She was clearly speaking and then with so much anticipation and excitement the next few words that were muttered were filled with so much life; I couldnt understand. She said, "Swhiwwwm dawls, Bugz bunny treats, Superuber blah blah blah"! She was so excited and I am sure she knew what she was getting and I on the other hand had absolutely know idea what she had just said but was excited for her all the more. I was so happy to speak with her because I get to see her on Christmas and the entire family but I love to see her because she is just a bouncing and excited joy. I decided that I wanted to talk about this topic for a bit I was already super happy but once on and off the phone with her I became estactic.
This topic I hold dear to my heart because after life smacks us down a bit, we take a beating, people seem to get over on us, use and abuse us, we work so hard and have so little and then we have dreams when we start out on this journey called "Life" and somewhere along the way we lose our Fervor. WE JUST SEEM TO GIVE UP, WHY IS THAT? Life of course will have many ups and downs but at the end of they day it is how you approach whatever challenges you are dealing with at the moment. If we stopped for a second and treated life with child like fervor; Imagine the possibilities that the Universe would bring to our lives. We hold on to so much because we lose focus for what we want, need and desire because of this. You can't let monkey wrenches, potholes, thunderstorms to stop you and get in your way. You gotta keep on dancing! When we approach life with a child-like view we see the world as we should and we start to believe in ourselves again. Remember when you were a child? Remember when you could do anything that you put your mind to? What makes you think you can't still do that? I wanna tell you give it a try one day. I want you to think about something you've long been passionate about and give it a try; but this time try it with childlike wonder! YOU WILL BE AMAZED AT THE OUTCOME!
