Big potential in a small bundle ...

"We find delight in the beauty and happiness of children
that makes the heart too big for the body."
Ralph Waldo Emerson, 'The Conduct of Life'


Have you ever noticed the impact a new born baby has on all
it comes into contact with? Not just the new parents -
everyone!

This week I was inspired by the birth of a baby girl - the
first baby for close friends of ours. I was inspired by how
happy and content the new parents were and inspired how any
one who came to visit left uplifted by contact with a new
born baby.

Why is this so? Perhaps we are moved by the sense of
potential before us ... a baby who has yet to learn or
molded by circumstance has a sense of unlimited potential
about them. A new born baby also has a great sense of peace
within them .. yet to experience the sensation of conflict
or struggle. You cannot help but feel calm and uplifted by
this.

If you are a parent - take time this week to acknowledge
the potential of your children. This applies whether your
children are 5, 15 or 50!

Have an inspiring week!
