I was thinking today about the mind of a five year old and how vast and amazing it is. I work with children around that age for the majority of the summer. Their imaginations inspire me; a five year old has the ability to create entire worlds in their head and to live in those worlds with such commitment. Their resilience baffles me; a five year old will slip, fall, cry for two minutes, then get up and be one hundred percent again. Their belief humbles me; whatever a five year old believes in, they believe it with all of their heart, mind, and soul.
Picture a world where we’re able to combine the knowledge, influence, and wisdom of an adult with the imagination, resilience, and belief of a five year old. We would be unstoppable. The things we would create, the glory we would bring, it would be indescribable.
A lot of us have left our five year old selves in the past. But true growth is often more about adding on, not leaving behind. Let us re-awaken to child like spirit in all of us this Christmas.
