"Have you walked with a two-year old?"

Have you ever tried to take a two-year-old on a straight-ahead walk? It just doesn't happen. Children that age have an entirely different agenda. For a two-year-old, there is no sense of accomplishment with leaving point A in order to arrive at point B.

The only reason for even venturing out the door is the prospect of the journey—or to meander—between point A and point B.
When you’re two, the world is still a new and fascinating place. Every stone deserves investigation, every mud puddle calls you, and every creepy, crawly creature must be scrutinized and subjected to awe, or torture, or screams of delight and horror.
When you’re two, the only possible reason for finally arriving at point B is so that now you can begin the trek back to point A.

In this New Year, don’t be in too big a hurry to get where you’re going. Avoid getting consumed with checking every item off of your to-do list. Enjoy the moment as you listen to life today like a two-year old and make a life, not just a living.
