Dynamism
Off to see my children in the school play at our Primary School this afternoon …. so what? Well – I remember the last time I went it made me think. I found myself reflecting back on how I approached life as a child.
Have you ever wondered why most young children have a natural instinct to learn? They seem to have an in-built curiosity about things they see and hear around them. In most cases, they’re prepared to ‘have a go’ and try something out in order to satisfy this instinct. It’s true that some children are naturally shy, but normally, even they will eventually take a step forward and try something that interests them. Young children seem to have a natural self-belief and determination that drives a dynamo inside them.
So what’s changed between then and now! Why does this dynamo that used to drive us seem to slow down as we get older? In some of us it actually crusts up and gets jammed as time moves on and we mature.
To start to feel and act more confidently, you need to get it working again. Try to free up your dynamo by remembering back to how you approached life when you were a child.
It works.
