  • Oblivious and happy.

  • Oblivious and happy is the optimal state.

  • It's the child's state.

  • Unaware of challenges, of judgement, of pain, of failure.

  • Happy to be alive. Playing.

  • Unaware of their past or what the future will bring. Unaware of the long road ahead.

  • Focused on the present because that is all that matters. And enjoying it. Being happy where you are.

  • "Ignorance is bliss."

  • Knowledge is power and can be used to accomplish more in the future, but too much knowledge can stop us from trying in the first place.

  • Make room to be oblivious about how long it will take, how hard it will be. If you feel like it, do it.

  • And make sure you choose happiness along the way.
