Eyes of a Child

Too often in our lives we see the world through the eyes of a child.

We are too curious about things that we should shy away from.

The world seems to be a vast being full of untouched opportunities.

When looking through the eyes of a child, we are naive.

We as humans let our curiousity run our lives.

Therefore, we dabble in areas where we should not be.

Children have yet to establish that sense to know the difference between right and wrong.

Adults have that sense established and it shames me to see people still look at the world with curious, child-like eyes.

How do you see the world?

Like a child?

Are you curious about the right things?

Float On

I have come to realize that in our lives, we all have those times, those moments, that we wish would never fade away.

But, in our lives, those precious moments do pass.

All we are left with is the memory.

I'm beginning to understand that the reason we can only remember these times are so that as we continue on in our lives, we can bask in the glory of even better moments.

The memories we have are there to compete with the new memories, the better memories, that we will one day make.

As I near the end of one stage of my life, I am realizing that we are like driftwood.

We float through our lives, until we reach the end of the water.

We reach the shores that envelop us and welcome us into a new life.

What really matters is what we do as we float on.

How do we react to obstacles in the way of our path?

Do we find those certain things that we cling to?

Those few things that grow on us, like memories, and last forever, those are what keeps us floating on.

We long to find more.

As I pass into this next stage of my life, I can only hope that I find more things to stick with me.

More memories.

More driftwood.

Because I will continue to float on, until I reach the shore.

Everyday it gets a little bit closer.

I will bask in the glory of what lies ahead as I float on.

Breezes

The world contains an infinite number of possibilities and opportunities.

They are just floating around in the air, waiting to get picked up by a gust of wind, and brought to someone.

Is that someone you?

There is only one condition.

In order to gain opportunities and possibilities, you must be willing to put yourself out into the world.

To move forward, you have to take the first step.

So, I encourage you to take that last step to your hypothetical window and fling it open.

Stand there for a moment, and let the breezes blow a breath of fresh air onto your skin.

It's full of possibility.
