“I think that inside every adult is the heart of a child. We just gradually convince ourselves that we have to act more like adults.” ~Shigeru Miyamoto
Did you get the message~ Adults are serious and get things done!
Were you told at anytime in your life-YOU ARE TOO—
Loud, shy, noisy, quiet, silly, talkative, silent, curious…. Please feel free to add any and all of the other things you were told you were.
Interesting….Right? Just think about your list and all the things you were told you were. How many years does it take to dispel and change and come to terms with the things we were told We Were? (That’s a hypothetical question because we can take as long as we need to become aware and awake and bring ourselves fully into consciousness) The ways we act and live and move in our world is predicated on what was taught to us and ingrained in us as a child.
“To be more childlike, you don’t have to give up being an adult. The fully integrated person is capable of being both an adult and a child simultaneously. Recapture the childlike feelings of wide-eyed excitement, spontaneous appreciation, cutting loose, and being full of awe and wonder at this magnificent universe.” ~Wayne Dyer
When was the last time you just played for the sake of playing with no intended outcome or goal? Ask yourself how many ways can I cut loose and feel the child inside of me? What can I do today or this week or this weekend to recapture some of the essence of that kid that lives inside of me. This is individual to each of us.
Try not to give it too much thought, feel into what comes to you and then go and do it! Whatever it is! Just let yourself indulge in the pure bliss, joy and have FUN!
