Don't Shut off the Inner Child in You !

Ahh, the inner child. A subject that is frequently discussed intellectually, but not that often expressed physically or spiritually. Today I was reading from the blog of a photographer that I follow and he had a lot to say about acting as a child. Essentially he thought we could do ourselves a favour and act like a kid once in a while. We don't have to have a reason to do something and we certainly don't have to do what everyone else is doing. I think we as a society try to slavishly follow the "rules". Children learn in large part who they are and what they can do by ignoring the rules and instruction books and sometimes even their teachers.

I think children find the limits of the "possible" by going beyond them into the "impossible". Something for us adults to remember. Free the inner child in you and you may be pleasantly surprised what you find. "You Devil You !!!"

So let's agree to do things in our own way and ignore convention or the conservative and right way. There was a slogan that floated around in the 80's and that was: "If it feels good, DO IT"

I think it was Ralph Waldo Emerson that said " Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.

So I hereby pledge to willingly and enthusiastically accept responsibility for creating my own reality.

And furthermore, if thoughts are things, I personally am only going to choose the good ones.

Live long and prosper.
