Cultivate a sense of wonder from "summary" of Traveling Mercies by Anne Lamott
One of the most important things we can do in life is to remain open to the wonders that surround us. It is easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of everyday life and forget to stop and appreciate the beauty and magic that exists all around us. Cultivating a sense of wonder allows us to see the world with fresh eyes, to be curious and amazed by the simplest of things. When we approach life with a sense of wonder, we are more open to new experiences and possibilities. We become like children again, eager to explore and learn about the world around us. This sense of wonder can lead us to new adventures, new insights, and new connections with others. It is all too easy to become jaded and cynical, to let the challenges and disappointments of life overshadow the beauty and joy that is also present. Cultivating a sense of wonder is a way to counteract this tendency, to remind ourselves that there is always something to be grateful for, something to marvel at, something to inspire us. In a world that can often feel overwhelming and chaotic, cultivating a sense of wonder is a way to find peace and solace. It allows us to connect with something greater than ourselves, to feel a sense of awe and reverence for the world and our place in it. This sense of wonder can be a source of strength and comfort in difficult times, a reminder that there is still magic and beauty in the world, if only we take the time to look for it. So let us strive to cultivate a sense of wonder in our lives, to approach each day with open hearts and open minds. Let us be curious, be amazed, be grateful for the beauty and magic that surrounds us. In doing so, we can find joy, meaning, and connection in even the simplest of moments.
