A Lesson From A 4 Year Old

Among 4 year-olds, we find that virtually all of them are convinced they can sing, and all of them have confidence they can dance. This confidence and certainty of success is something we are all born with but we later traded in for a strong dose of realism. Shortly after we reach school age, we are taught lessons about the world that revolves around us, limiting our vision and becoming realistic.

All dreamers, all achievers, all great people kept their child like faith in their own dream and their ability to carry it out. Learn to explore every aspect, not from what is realistic, but instead from what is possible. If we can master this, we will begin to revert backwards and live our lives in the unlimited realm of the successful 4-year-old.

Think and Take Action:

1.) What haven’t you given yourself the permission to dream about?
2.) What dreams have you given up on and become a realist about?
3.) What limiting thoughts are getting in your way?
4.) Where are those thoughts originating from?

Journal: (Write it Out)

Think about the above mention things. Mentally dust off some of your forgotten dreams or develop some new ones. Visualize your self as if you had accomplished that dream. What are you doing? How are you feeling? Write about it.
