Have you had the opportunity to walk in an elementary school and witness the joy, the curiosity, the childlike wonder? Today, we are missing a piece of that of wonder. We can list the reasons why we've lost it and it's more important to recognize we can get that optimism back. John O'Leary believes in showing up with everything you have and investing in those right in front of you. John is the author of On Fire and his latest book, IN AWE: Rediscover Your CHILDLIKE WONDER to Unleash INSPIRATION, MEANING, and JOY.
