Throw your arms around life in a great big hug. Just as a friend feels good when we hug them, so does an activity enjoy itself more when we value it. When we relate consciously with a tree or a stone or a friendly dog, we create warmth and connection. When we dance with our whole hearts, we’re lighter on our feet. Notice how enthusiasm begets enthusiasm and encouragement gives us courage. When we complain or stall, life backs away a little. Adore it, and life adores us in return.
