Children are the ones who teach us how to enjoy every bit of life. If you have ever taken a look at kids, you might have seen them playing with pieces of paper and many things which are of no use to adults but they are so happy about it. We adults are so greedy that we are not satisfied with what we have instead we are always thinking how to get more and more, and while doing this, we forget that we have enough to be happy about.

Children are the ones who over and over again teach us to be honest. Whenever they do something wrong they are the ones to come and tell us about it though they are also afraid about the consequences. But we adults are more worried about the consequences and never want to tell the truth or be honest and rather we end up lying and face worse.

Children are so full of energy from the start of the day till the end and very enthusiastic about everything that is going to come their way, we adults have lost the enthusiasm in our life which in turn has made us a routine nine to five person and thus resulting in no interest for any kind of innovation in everyday life.

Children are so rational about their thoughts what I mean to say is not about their structure of thoughts but it is how balanced they are in their mind as what they want and how to go about it. But we are the ones who though knowing what we want cannot figure out right path towards them. We are always waiting for a bulb to glow over our head without any hard work towards it and be enlightened about the right path leading to our wants.

Children are so cute and dearly – that is not about their physical appearance but their innocence and intelligence that drive people to love them more and they become dearly to everyone who come across them. But for us adults now- a- days it is just become the physical appearance that matters. We have forgotten how to appreciate people based on their thoughts, creativity etc rather we start criticizing others just by their physical appearance and attire.

Children are full of life and they teach us the true meaning of life which is to be happy with what we have and try to appreciate what we have got on our own than being happy about things that we might have got stamping others happiness somewhere or the other. For us happiness has taken a new meaning which is Pleasure – pleasure for materialistic things, things that will not sustain forever, and things which have no life and give happiness only to certain period of time. Though knowing this truth we tend to forget about all of it and are back in the race which never ends and we do not know that are we ever going to win and will it be worth all that we sacrifice for it?

Many of us are still child at heart but our mind has grown big (adult) and we tend to kill the child in us just to think that we are making others happy which actually is not true. We instead are hurting many others and ourselves also in doing so.

So please be what you are which will actually give you happiness and satisfaction rather than being someone/something the world wants you to be and lose all that sweet little opportunities and time that is coming your way which will give you true happiness.

I got inspired by my son to write this article which I thought would inspire others also to see and find happiness in anything and everything possible which are near and around us.
