Babies Make the Best Teachers

A needed piece of sunshine and moonbeams on this evening . . . .
Spend some time with a baby and you’ll understand what life is all about. Babies love unconditionally. They are not selective or judgmental or prejudice. Babies are joyful and happy just because. Babies find wonder in the most trivial pursuits and revel in how wondrous this world truly is. Babies can smile even in the midst of a crying spell. In The Power of Intention, Dr. Wayne D. Dyer declares it well:
- “Just watch little babies. They’ve done nothing to be so happy about. They don’t work; they poop in their pants; and they have no goals other than to expand, grow, and explore this amazing world. They love everyone, they’re completely entertained by a plastic bottle or goofy faces, and they’re in a constant state of joy.”
“Constant state of joy” . . . I really like that. Even if you don’t have a special baby in your life, you certainly were once this blissful as a babe yourself. I’m a firm believer that we can reach that state again if we just be. Take Dr. Dyer’s advice and “vow to emulate” a baby’s joy.
