Children have a very vivid imagination.  They can see themselves as fighter pilots, doctors, teachers, astronauts or mommy and daddy figures.  There is no limit when it comes to playing the game of life for children.  No holds barred is their motto!  They wake up each day with new ideas and plans. They have many options in their little heads and if one thing doesn’t work they try something else.  Even on their worse days after a grand melt down and a couple of tantrums, they go right back to the old drawing board or tear it down and construct something new and bigger.

Children have the faith to believe whatever they put their little hands to do, it will all work out in the end.  They don’t start something with the idea of failure in the back of their heads.  They don’t think there is a possibility they cannot do what is required for a positive outcome with whatever it is they are doing.  They keep going and if something is missing or out of place, they quickly ask for help or they ask for money (if old enough) to make it happen.

When did we lose the ability to operate in that way.  What happened, causing us to pull back and think negatively or give up so quickly? There are so many options available for us.  Why not keep it moving until we reach our goal?  Going forward, let’s copy our childlike self and never give up on our dreams.

“It is never too late to be what you might have been.” _ George Eliot
