"Bringing a childlike wonder and a beginner's mind to life maximizes both success and joy."

~Jonathan Lockwood Huie

Happy July! Hope you had some time to relax and enjoy the extra long weekend.

In my neighborhood in El Segundo, the local fireworks are a big deal. People set up camp several hours before the fireworks to get a good spot. As it gets closer to show time, droves of families are seen walking towards the park where the fireworks show is held. So many people! I’m sure some adults enjoy the celebration of it all, but I have a strong feeling that it’s mostly for the kids.

There’s an innocence and excitement unique to youth— I wish I could bottle it up and bring it out on days I feel discouraged. There’s a way that kids see things, with pure joy and lightheartedness— I wish I could have that in moments where things seem hopeless.

As we grow up in this world and become aware of the harsh realities of life, it’s so easy to become jaded and lose touch with childlike joys of life. It’s important to be informed, and it is critical for faulty systems to be brought to light. We can’t make progress by ignoring things or being unaware.

I believe there is a way to recognize difficult truths, to do our part as global citizens, and to also spend our lives with excitement and pleasure. It’s a tough balance to strike, but also worth it to live a life that feels fulfilling. I haven’t perfected this balance myself, but I know that a part of the way it happens is by making time for simple things that make you happy. The combination of inspiration and awareness can help us to create change.

This month we have fun community events and great classes every day. We hope you take time for yourself to get clear and to treat yourself to something that makes you feel like a kid again. Hope to see you soon at the studio!
