The Power of Enjoyment is Invincible

Hello, this is Maru.

Through my experience of changing from being super negative, I share the secrets to living comfortably and how to gain your own sense of self.

Today, I'm going to talk about how life becomes interesting if you can enjoy the things you "don't have".

The other day, my niece took my hand and led me to a narrow space.

I wondered what she was going to do, and she said, "Let's play the 'If you touch, you lose' game!"

The "If you touch, you lose" game is a game my niece invented where you lose if any part of your body touches anything while passing through a narrow space.

I thought, "Wait! Are we really doing this!?"

I thought that.

I thought it was silly, but my niece looked at me with sparkling eyes.

She held my hand with her small hand and pleaded, "Maru, you'll play, right?" "You won't say you won't play, right?" "You'll play, right? You'll play, right?"

She kept insisting.

I can't win against those sparkling eyes. lol

Even though I thought it was silly, the "If you touch, you lose" game began.

But when I tried it, it was actually quite fun.

I had looked down on it, but it was more fun than I expected.

I thought, this power to enjoy things is invincible.

Even if you don't have money, you enjoy what you have now. Even if you don't have experience, you think about what you can do now. Even if you don't have knowledge, you think within the scope of what you know now.

Children are geniuses at enjoying what they have right now.

However, it is natural that there will be things you can't do when you try.

There are times when you think, "I couldn't use this...", but that's okay too.

"Oh no! That didn't work..."
They don't get discouraged.

"How about this? Or this?"

Saying that,
they start trying one thing after another.

They can even enjoy their mistakes.

It's amazing, isn't it?

I want to remember this power
that I have forgotten.

That's what I thought.

We tend to lament what we "don't have," but
there are still things left to enjoy, aren't there?

Because we have everything except what we don't have.

I learned that
from my niece.
