Life is amazing. So as often as possible, be amazed.

Even the smallest little grains of life are amazing. And if you look more closely, you’ll find much, much more to amaze you.

Life is so consistently and overwhelmingly amazing that it’s easy to get used to that amazement. It’s a good problem to have, yet a problem nonetheless. Because you don’t ever want to be immune to amazement. What a shame it would be to lose that capacity for wonder and amazement.

Perhaps you’d like to think of yourself as too sophisticated to be amazed. Perhaps you think there’s some value to giving the impression that you’ve already seen it all. But no one has seen it all. No one has even come close. And that’s a wonderful thing, truly a blessing, truly amazing.

Being amazed is nothing to be ashamed of. In fact, when you’re really amazed, what’s the first thing you want to do? You want to share it. So by all means, go ahead. Share it, with joy and enthusiasm, and without worrying about how it makes you look. For how it makes you look is alive, and real, and beautiful.
