Children fear nothing. They may be scared of something, but it’s a different kind of fear.
They want to check out everything around them. They look at things differently from us. They see unique and new; we see “been there, done that”.
Children have that innocence that says everything has yet to be discovered. They don’t care about the safe, the boring – they want fresh and exciting. They see the world through the eyes of someone that doesn’t know the meaning of the words, “Too far” or “Some other time”.
Shouldn’t we all be like children? In life; in love; in business? Does our fear of real life stop us from overcoming everything that’s holding back our true success?
I think I’d like to be a child. How about you?
