we learn & we grow

"little kids are so impressionable"


i had a video on my cell phone of my friend


sneaking up and startling his  much younger sister


& i showed it to the 2 year old little girl my mom i look after
& we all laughed for a moment as she
ran in to & out of the kitchen screaming & laughing


mimicking what she saw in the video


she was doing it her way


but she wasnt startling us


she was making us laugh & herself  laugh


this is what in the 1st place caught her attention


the video made her laugh & us laugh


so she liked that we laughed so
 she recreated it.


its alot like how


we live


we see the ( positive or negative) social effects of wearing a certain style of clothing
& the reviews we get


we see the social effects it has when your around of group of people who
use profanity


we see the emotional effects when we make someone smile
or laugh


or cry


we learn these things in life
how we affect it.


&
at times its easy to think


that if we dont in some way


we arnt benefiting ?


that because we cant have and effect in any way ( positive or negative)


we must not be doing the right things


but what if we changed how we viewed our selves


what if we changed how we viewed


our lives ?


what if we werent so busy worrying about


what to wear next week that


we thought about how someone else would dress


with a low flow of income & donated what we have


that we dont seem to need to someone who would.


what if we didnt care about the latest craze


in our group of friends that we took the time
to discover what we truly


liked
 instead of letting everyone else choose for us


what if we spent one day for
solely for


the benefit of others


to make someone else smile


& at the end of the day


found what truly

is important to us
