Spending time with young grandkids reminds you of some of the fundamentals of human behavior. We are born into this world with a nature of complete self gratification. Watch toddlers play together with toys. They are extremely possessive. They want what they want. They’ll fight others for what they want. Sharing and taking turns does not come naturally to them. It’s only after an authority figure teaches them to share, and then praises them for it, that they will learn the concept.
When you think about it, that process continues throughout life. I have learned so much from observing humble, honest and optimistic people. They just seem happier. More content. It makes me want to be like them. Makes me want to try to set that example for others. Especially for my grandkids.
Who will be watching the example you set today?
Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts everyday!
Have a great day!
