A little girl’s gleeful “yay” in response to “getting to” walk to the car with her father illustrates the difference between opportunity (getting to) and obligation (having to).
Life’s simple moments often go unnoticed but are what make a gratifying life. Even amid challenges and divisions, small acts of kindness, curiosity and connection can build bridges and restore civility. More than 70% of Americans share a desire to walk together again despite uncertainties.
Embracing each step as a “get to” or “yay” moment invites us all to keep moving toward something better, together. And that is worth the extra steps.
