How to Be Childlike

_Elsa_

Now Elsa is getting very excited because there are articles out there talking about how adults can get that magic back. She continues the search …. 

That’s it! We need to do childlike things to bring the magic back to us!

 All children are artists. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up.” – Pablo Picasso

‘As grown-ups, we’ve lost this childlike sense of life. And that’s actually a sad thing. It’s not just about happiness and innocence either — being more childlike also helps us to be more creative, more imaginative, more innovative and open to worlds of possibilities. 

Consider: as children, we are naturally imaginative, curious, able to play without a worry in our minds. Some qualities of young children that happen naturally:

they live in the present; they have no concerns about money, productivity, or being cool; there are no limits to their imagination, except what they’ve been exposed to; they play and lose themselves in play; they create with abandon; they are endlessly curious, and ask questions … without end and finally they love showing off to their parents. 

See the world with new eyes. It is a wondrous place, a miracle happening every second, a source of immense fascination that can knock you on your ass if you let it. You are a miracle, and every moment you have is a gift. What will you do with that gift?’ (Source)
