The Power of Wonder

Keith and Laura explore the often-overlooked value of wonder—those moments of awe, gratitude, and joy that can shift our perspective and bring us back to the present. Keith shares how a simple moment at a wedding—a magician’s performance—became surprisingly transformative.

Normally someone who seeks answers and explanations, Keith found himself choosing to not analyze the trick and surrender to the feeling of amazement. That decision created a deep sense of joy and gratitude. For Keith, wonder is a reminder that life doesn’t always need to be figured out; sometimes it’s more powerful to embrace mystery. He ties this back to the importance of agency: making small, intentional choices to step away from the grind and place ourselves in situations where wonder can appear.

Laura brings her perspective shaped by nature, music, and slowing down. From watching caterpillars transform into butterflies, to the beauty of waterfalls and music that transcends the notes on the page, she emphasizes the importance of noticing what surrounds us. For Laura, wonder often comes when she gives herself permission to pause and not over-schedule life. Being present in these moments fosters gratitude and creates lasting joy.

Laura and Keith highlight how our routines often keep us moving so fast that wonder rarely has space to surface. Their reminder is simple yet profound. Wonder isn’t something extraordinary or rare, but something we can cultivate by slowing down, being present, and making intentional choices.
