1:1:1
One Day. One Moment. One Person.
The days are too fast and life is too short. So everyday, be sure to have one profound moment…and one meaningful connection with another human being.
The Universe will only take a step toward you, if you first take a step toward the Universe.
This weekend I was at my friends’ home in Wisconsin and shared my 1:1:1 with Logan…who is 5 and calls me “Yahoo Dave” instead of “Yeah Dave.”
I asked him, “What’s the secret to happiness?”
He replied, “More people should play with Legos and trains.”
BAMO!!!!!!!!!!! Could anyone have possibly said it better?
To all the Buddhist monks and Harvard scholars, here is your new hero with a watershed moment in positive psychology!
As mentioned in my Moment of the Day, when you stop to realize the mind-numbing velocity by which we appear and disappear on Earth…
…we all need more days eating Superman ice cream and riding the mini train at the zoo on the way to see the sharks, orangutans, and the cutest 7 week old camel (as I did last Friday with Logan, his 3 year old bro Oliver, and mom Melanie, owner of the soon to be famous Tosa Yoga).
So here’s a shout out to the inner child in you…in case she can’t hear me, I’m gonna say this loudly…
MORE PEOPLE SHOULD PLAY WITH LEGOS AND TRAINS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dave, I have known this truth all my life.. now the secret is out!
