The secret of genius is to carry the spirit of the child into old age, which mean never losing your enthusiasm. – Aldous Huxley
Maggie turns 9 today.
This may just be a dad’s viewpoint, but she is the most enthusiastic kid in the whole world.
This quote above represents my wish for her (and for everyone else for that matter). That no matter what else transpires, she never lose this enthusiasm for life.
Whether she is rich or poor, cool or dorky, tall or short, skinny or fat….none of that will matter if she can keep her current enthusiastic attitude.
Many times Maggie has been my reminder to enjoy life. To smile and have fun.
Be like Maggie today. Turn up the enthusiasm and the fun.
Make it a great day.

I think this ties in well with what you said a while back about not being able to selectively numb emotions. I think somewhere in the process of attempting to selectively numb emotions, a person can end up numbing all of them, and may one day find they are lacking some of the enthusiasm they used to have.
Thanks for sharing, Jake.
Good point. Thanks for the thoughtful response.
