There was a fish bowl in the Children's Room at Seymour Library. Children were asked to write down their goals for the school year. Sheila Mikkelson, the library director listed the children's goals in her "Message from the Director" page on the library's website.
I copied and pasted the goals they wrote down. Take a look at them and pay attention to how you feel. I was touched reading them. I could imagine all the kids wanting to be better at something in their lives. They were written anonymously but I have an empathic feeling inside me rooting for all these children.
As adults we try to downplay our wishes with a stoic, outward stance. Let's not forget the feelings of inspiration and motivation from our younger days.
Do you have a passion? Are you going after your desires? Be healthy and energetic so you can. This is the vitalistic philosophy of chiropractic's subluxation free life-style. To learn more, let me know or leave a comment. This is what my Be More Alive blog is dedicated to.
