There is a voice that doesn't use words. Listen ~ Rumi
Can you remember the feeling you had as a child? An imagination that was endless with new experiences every day. You wake up knowing what you want to wear, even though your parents may disapprove of it. In your eyes, who says colors or patterns have to match? You expressed your emotions about how you felt about people with pure honesty. You would ask questions because you loved learning new things. There are several reasons why looking through a child's eyes changes the way you, as an adult, look at life differently.
Why not enjoy the simple things around you as a child does?
1. Think Positive
Children are very eager to try new things. They automatically don't think negatively upon trying something new. Usually, when you approach a child with positive words, they are eager. How easy would it be to explore new adventures with excitement as a child does? Imagine walking out the front door, genuinely looking at everything for what it is through listening, touch, shape, color, and scent, and appreciating what you can see. 2. Stop and Smell the Roses
When was the last time you stopped to appreciate the beauty of life? Children appreciate joy in life, while adults often take things for granted. When a child discovers something fascinating, they get excited. Have you ever watched a toddler flush the toilet repeatedly or open and close a door, trying to learn how it works? A child finds joy in the simplest things. Next time you walk by a flower, stop and delight your senses.
3. Feeling Free To Be
Children love to run free, feeling life's fresh air and joys. They ask unfiltered questions from the purest of their hearts, looking for answers. Children do things without worrying about what other people are going to think. Children are very excited when they finally get a chance to dress themselves, no matter if their outfits match or not. As time passes, an adult figure talks down to them for being genuinely authentic in their style or ways, and a child starts to doubt themselves. The next time you ask a question, don't worry about being right or wrong; be pure from the heart. When you step into your closet, dress in what feels proper to your being.
Seeing through the eyes of a child is the purest joy of life. Never stop allowing life to flow within you and around you. Remember, the worries you continuously think about today will not change your tomorrow. Enjoy the moments in the now never-ending joyous wonders of life.
