Thought for Today

There’s absolutely no way to save people from
the things in their eyes. They must gather
the courage to do it for themselves.

--Alvin Lester Ben-Moring

Before we were indoctrinated to the rules of the world, with all its do’s and don’ts, we were actually very receptive. We were willing to try new things, go into forbidden places and take risks without hesitation. We did not believe in unhappiness, defeat, rejection or lack. We asked for what we wanted and were willing to demand that it be provided. We thought the world existed to respond to our needs. It might do us well to revert to the ways of childhood if we want to bring some good into our lives. It’s not the temper tantrums or childish outbursts we need. We have been taught to accept fear, lack, sorrow and restriction as apart of everyday life. We are afraid to make demands of life because we believe we cant have what we want. We no longer feel free to express what we feel, when we feel it. Now, we want to be everyone’s friend. If only we could think like a child again, there’s a good chance we would find the freedom we gave up to become adults.

Today I Am a child again.
