It's up to us to set the example.

Young children already have what we're all in search of. They don't judge, worry, or stress. They question you when they don't feel like something is right...good communication. They don't care what others think- they are themselves. They get mad for a minute but don't hold grudges. They get excited about the littlest things and are confident in everything they do. They know how to love and will continue to show it if they are given the chance. They are interested in learning and helping others because they know they can. They aren't afraid of life and don't hold back from the things they want to do. Children play the game of "life" and though they are young and inexperienced, they are the ones who are getting it "right."

I understand children now and I feel privileged for it. They amaze me everyday with the drive, motivation, and their will in doing the best they can. It's our job to make sure they keep on that path, not to forget what it feels like so they can function successfully as adults. We, as the examples, need to put our feelings aside and show the children how to live a happy life. They remember EVERYTHING...as we all know from our own stories we've created and lived by. If they see what we can do, they will remember that they can do it too.
