Today we’re talking about Grown Up Wonder.  
Wonder is one of the three aspects of Tenet #2 of Intentional Optimism, being Present.

Intentional Optimism using The Sailboat Analogy:

1. Optimistic = The boat - the hull, the vehicle that gets you from island A to island B.
2. Present = The centerboard - keeps you upright, focused, “centered,” if you will.
3. Courageous = The rigging - this holds everything together and makes it work - your resilience. 
4. Energetic = The sail - without this, your boat can’t go anywhere, but when the sail fills - wow!
5. Wise = The rudder - keeps you on track, heading in the right direction
6. Intentional = Setting everything up to properly capture the wind
