If only we all could have her spirit, the world would be a much better place…
This morning my husband and I walked to get some breakfast. As we walked past one home, a two-year-old girl came running out. She was singing and running in circles with a big smile on her face. We could not help but smile as we observed this child filled with joy for life.
As she walked outside, her Mom said that they were going for a walk. I asked Mom if the child was always like this, and she said yes. Most of her days are good days. Only a few days are occasionally challenging.
But on the challenging days, this beautiful child just gets through the challenges. Then she forgets about them and moves forward happily. She seems to know those good things are always around the corner, and her attitude helps bring them to her.
What a spirit this child has! Definitely not a typical two-year-old, she lives her life every day to the fullest and does not let any negativity slow her down.
Although I have always tried to have a spirit like her spirit, there are many days I have failed. I sometimes let negatives get me down.
What would happen if more people had her spirit?
- The world would be filled with people who believe that good things will happen.
- More importantly, the world would be filled with people whose attitudes make good things happen.
- Most importantly, more good things would happen more often in this world.
Do you want more good things to happen in your life? Then try to have her spirit, the spirit of this beautiful two-year-old girl. When she wakes up in the morning, she thinks about good things, not negative things. And she stays focused on them all day long.
Let’s all try to have her spirit within us every day of our lives.
Let the encouraging words in these near a river posts help you
soar like an eagle above life’s storms.
