Honestly, my first thought was learning how to tie my shoes.

While that may not seem like a big deal now, it is one of my first memories.

I felt like a champion!

Yet as an adult our perspective shifts and what was once a major accomplishment is now barely a blip on the radar. (Plus, I wear heels now, so it’s not even a skill I use all that often ☺️)

So what is considered a valuable skill as an adult?

I’d like to offer a suggestion in the form of song lyrics:

The greatest thing you’ll ever learn 

is just to love and be loved in return.

This final line from the song “Nature Boy” is so hauntingly beautiful. I hope it inspires you to think about life in a new way and to celebrate those little victories (like successfully tie-ing your shoes)!
