![]() Seems like we’re forever trying to get our point across, be heard, win the argument, and have the last word. ![]() It doesn’t have to be your own child – any kid would be pleased and proud to have the attention and approval of an adult who cares. Imagine how good it would feel if you were that little boy or girl, to have a grown-up notice and praise your fine work, spend a half-hour tossing a ball around with you, or simply show interest in what happened to you today. How many times have you tried to hold an adult conversation, but there’s a child piping up in the background, asking for someone to notice him or her? Before you write this kid off as being unruly, rude or an attention-hog… realize how frequently children are brushed off in today’s chaotic world. Here are some ideas as to what you can do: 1. Create your own meaningful moments, and your life will be all the richer for it. Be liberal with, and unrestrained in, whatever you share. Don’t wait for someone else to make the first move or for a situation to spontaneously occur. Sometimes the best way to get what you’re craving is to give it first. According to Benjamin Wiker and Johnathan Witt, authors of A Meaningful World, “…nature is a work of genius, like a Shakespearian play is a work of genius - both are rich, deep, and complex, full of meaning at every level.”ĭo you find yourself wanting for more meaningful experiences?
