“ENJOY LIFE! Can’t go wrong with that motto, I think.
No matter what activity one engages in, from the simple to the complex, from the mundane to the exciting, it is very worthwhile to keep a non-judgmental mindset.
Enjoy every experience for what it is—do not compare it to prior experiences, nor set it up against your expectations, or the expectations of others.
In this fashion, no matter what experience unfolds, it will be appreciated.
The key as a parent is to encourage your offspring to adopt a like mindset. As well, as a parent, do not concern yourself whether your child is getting “full-value” for your money.”
