Highly inspiring talk that sums up very beautifully the way to live a vibrant and happy life. Awesome!
Thanks for sharing this link. I live by the 3 A’s in the speech too and I’m all about embracing our inner 3 yr old! I wish more people would embrace their inner children too. it’s amazing how far a positive attitude can take us.
We can never be reminded enough of how important it is to appreciate the simple things. We all have such a short time on earth but can spend too much time on things that do not matter. Thanks for the insight and the easy steps for living a gratifying life.
