Our Future and the Tiny Hands That Hold It

It's Monday morning, and as usual the weekend was to short the naps not long enough and the work seems to of multiplied.. However, as I ponder a thing or two I find myself blogging.. 
What I chose to bring up today isn't a new concept at all in fact it's been around for generations the thing that changes is the delivery of it. My topic is who holds our future as a people.. Y'all that know me maybe thinking utoh here we go, but I promise it's not bad.  Before I go any further I probably should just say who it is that holds our future, two simple words answers that... the children.  The children of the world are and have always been the holders of the future, they are our next doctors, lawyers, teachers, entrepreneurs, the list goes on. They at times though they are so young yet are the brightest minds.  It amazes me to see my little cousin/neice in action she's 4 and is already showing so much talent and potential.  As adults we need to be tapping into this raw talent of all the children but we also need to be nurturing them to grow up and be all that they want to be.  
Even as children, they touch lives, bless hearts and can teach us so much about the world because only they see things the way they do.  To take it one step further, some of the greatest minds ever known still had a tiny but of their inner child in them: Seuss, Verne, Lewis,Einstine, Franklin, Doyle, Disney, and so many others the list could go on for ages the ones listed just happen to be  some personal favorites.  We all can think of so many more, and who knows maybe we all still have a tiny bit of the child we once were in us. If we don't maybe we need to find it, and put down all our technology to trade it in for what we used to love and read, write, explore, invent, ponder great mysteries, have a verbal conversation with someone instead of text.. Set a example for our young ones that they don't have to be glued to a phone, iPad, tablet, tv, computer to do great things. 

In closing, we may not can change our future or our world all on our own but our young ones could continue the mantel when we can't anymore, we should make a effort to work with them, teach them good morals, help them learn to dream and think for themselves not let a computer do it, and while we are at it tap our inner child to who knows we to could still do great things if we just opened our eyes again and not had technology goggles on.
