“While we try to teach our children all about life, our children teach us what life is all about.”

Lately I've realized that the kids i lead and look after have so much to teach me. Its that simple joy, simple faith and simple love that I find so inspiring. As grown ups we learn that we must question the things we hear and see, and also accept that there are so many gray areas we need to consider. But kids they see things so clearly, they look at other kids and don't see color or nationality they see a new friend, they look at their family and they see love (beyond the tantrums), they know that their family will always be there, everything around them is a new adventure! They keep things simple, they  learn to find joy and happiness in the dullest environments, they laugh when they are happy, cry when their sad, sleep when their tired and run around crazy when they have energy. Their freedom of spirit is the thing people tend to want to crush, but also the thing they are missing and needing in their own lives. 

The art of being happy lies in the power of extracting happiness from common things.
