A couple of weeks ago our grandson was visiting and Kim and I taught him how to hold up three fingers to show how old he was.  We started by folding his pinky down and his thumb to hold his pinky.  At first, we had to hold his thumb on his pinky for it to stay.  After several tries, he could hold his thumb when we would put his pinky on top of his thumb.  A few days later we talked to him on Facetime and he could hold up his three fingers all by himself.  We were some proud grandparents.  

All of us would say how simple is to hold up three fingers.  We learned it so long ago as a three-year-old that we take it for granted today that we can hold up three fingers without thinking about it. 

As adults, we are no different than a three-year-old trying to hold up three fingers.  We learn new things and have to have others show us multiple times and occasionally have to be taken by the hand to be shown.  Over time and practice, we learn to do the new task on our own.  Time goes by and we begin to take what we learned for granted, almost like we always knew how to do it.  

I challenge each of us to continue to learn as a three-year-old does.  Discover something you never knew you needed to learn.  Learn the new thing, practice, and become so good at it that it becomes second nature.  

What could we learn by always having the curiosity of a three-year-old?
