Take time to observe


\
We can learn so much just by taking the time to observe what is going around you. Here is one thing to observe and it is children, yes children. We can learn, I mean really learn so much from our children.

As adults we have lost a lot of our imagination, but when you observe children you are watching imagination at the highest level. They can play with a wooden block for hours. You try that.

When they can’t get their way they will cry or fuss for awhile, when that is over and normally it doesn’t take long, they are off to another something. Just like that there back to imagining flying to the South Poll, building a bridge across a Ocean or feeding their doll for the thousands time.

A friend of mine father told me, watch a baby looking at a blank wall. It can do it for hours. Who knows what they see, but to them is all new.

Here is another one. Your’ driving some place for the first time and let’s says it takes one hour. The first time it seems to take forever, but if you have to take that same trip over and over again the time goes by so fast you can hardly remember driving it.

As we grow older we experience so many different things that our mind shouts out most of it, thus when we take the same trip over and over, we see it ,but our mind blocks most of the trip out.

Here is why observing children is so healthy for us, that is if try to apply the things we learn from watching them.. One thing that we should learn that even in old thing we can always find new things. You might give youself a challenge, start trying to find new thing in the regular things you do.
At first you say there is nothing new here, but after you work on this for awhile you will start to see new things that you hadn’t seen. This will help you to enlarge you ability to be aware of what going around you.

As I started out with by observing and particularly observing children you will learn how to expand and appreciate life. Doing this will help you to re-expand your imagination. With increased imagination you enjoy life more than you can imagine.

Happy children watching.

Happiness with wealth to you
