Be Like A Child Today

We have lost our creativity as we have grown older.
We have become comfortable in our comfort zones and cannot think or imagine our lives being otherwise.
We tightly cling to our past, and let determine our future
Inside our minds we have created an image of who we are, what we can or cannot do
And each day we live to uphold this image.
Somehow we have confined ourselves to what we already know, that is our past
And of course we cannot see any other way.
However, there is so much more we can do or be?
The only limits that are present are those we have created
Or those that we believe to be present
Those who believe that they can lead nations do, those who believe that they can climb mountains do
Those who believe that they can write bestsellers do, and those who believe that they can dance do
The difference is only in the mindset,
The difference is only in what we can see ourselves do
You can be as creative as your mind takes you
When we were younger we saw ourselves as doing
Our perceptions were not rigid but creative
However, as we have grown older, we have become accustomed to that which we know
And even though somehow we feel that we can be more
We dismiss these inner voices as mere day dreaming
Our eyes are quick to see obstacles
Our mouths ready to shout impossible
Even the people around us, do not encourage us
They pull us down, further reinforcing our limited beliefs
However, stop and think today
Set yourself free of these imaginary limitations
Let your mind run wild
See different versions of you today
See different points of view today
Think of something you would like to be or do
And really question yourself what is stopping you write these limitations down and really evaluate whether or not it can be done
When you begin to question, you will realise that in most situations, the limitations are self imposed
You will see that the limitations can be transcended if you get out of your comfort zone.
Let go of your past
Start afresh
Today you are new person
And today you can do or be whatever you choose to be
And that can only happen of course
If just like a child your desire does not seek to hurt or harm anyone
And if just like a child, you know no limitations
And if just like a child, you trust in a higher power
Never doubting but trusting
Be like a child today, and it is amazing what you can do or be with such a mindset...
