Episode notes
Life is brief and fragile, and we often underestimate its value. We tend to think that we have plenty of time in the future to live our best lives, but recent experiences have shown that life can be cut short unexpectedly. We constantly postpone living until a later time when we believe we'll have more time or be in a better place. However, the truth is that every day is an opportunity to live our best lives. The quote 'life loves the liver of it' by Mary Angelou speaks to the depth and accessibility of this concept. It reminds us that each day is meant to be experienced fully. One way to cultivate gratitude and perspective is to encourage children to embrace each new day with enthusiasm and purpose. Instead of letting them immediately watch cartoons in the morning, they can be taught to appreciate the gift of a new day and make the most of it.
