I believe the greatest form of innocence arrives through children. People have a way of turning beautiful things into complete turd sandwiches, and by that, I am referring to how some people have the propensity of simply being innately negative about everything.
However, children are not yet corrupted by the different forces they will eventually encounter. That is a beautiful thing in my eyes.
I understand that raising a child is difficult, and each second in their presence will not always be sunshine and rainbows. With that said, there is something that I find rather refreshing about children.
They have this sense of wonder and appreciation for the simplest things, which we forget along the way as we age.
Whenever I need a little extra something to bring a smile to my face, I turn to YouTube where I search for videos of babies eating lemon or children laughing. I came across a video recently, and I must admit, it has become a favorite of mine.
Some people detest everything about children, and that is their right. However, I have always found this quite interesting, because we do not become adults overnight.
You were once a child, and yet, the very presence of a child rubs you the wrong way. This post may not be for you.
For others, please take a moment to watch the clip—it is only 1.4 minutes long. It involves a father, his son and a rejection letter from an employer.
I hope you enjoy this old clip, as much as I still do.

His laughter can cause even the most hardened individual, to experience an escape, even if only for the duration of the clip. It is definitely a favorite of mine. It is wonderful to know that you also enjoyed the footage.

Yeah, seeing things again through the eyes of child reminds you of just how much wonder and enjoyment there is in the world.

I experience this whenever I am in the presence of a child, or observing a video involving a child simply being a child. It falls in line with my belief, which says that positive energy is infectious.

I’ve been thinking a lot about that, and the converse (negative energy is infectious). And then I came across an article about a study done by counselors talking about energy, and how energy carries it’s own momentum. Fascinating stuff.

I am quite fascinated by this notion of energy. Do you recall the piece you read? I worked on a post regarding the reciprocity of energy, and the people we attract into our lives. However, I did not complete it. LoL. If the direction is not going to my liking, I usually move onto something else. However, I enjoy the concept of how energy plays a significant factor in our platonic and romantic relationships.

I’ve bookmarked it, so I’ll pass it your way once I dig it up.
To me, energy in people is manifested in body language, and that will tell you more about someone than almost anything.
Book for you to read – Mindset of Success by Carol Dwyer. I’m almost done, and will be writing about it in the future. But it touches on so many things that both you and I are interested in that I think you will find it worth the read.
