Every now-and-again . . . I like to check-in with my kids to see how they are doing, and how they are feeling about life and things. It was Daniel's turn to give an update. I asked Daniel: "Dan, how are you doing? How do you feel about yourself? Do you like yourself??"
Daniel's response: He put his hand's on his chest, and with a quirky smile (and without hesitation) he said, "What's not to like??"
After composing myself from laughter, I realized how great his answer was. There was no wishy-washiness about it, no wavering. He thinks he is great. And that is fantastic! If only we could all be so confident. Really, we should all be so confident . . .
Of course I like myself! What's not to like?! :-)
I should learn from him.
Out of the mouths of babes . . . and an 8 year old.
That's awesome!!
ReplyDeleteThat's something I've noticed in Daniel from being in Primary, and I think it's great! I asked him a question once, can't remember what it was exactly, what his favorite "something" was, and without hesitating, he answered, followed by, "no question about it!" He knows who he is and is enthusiastic about it! :)
