Let the mind run free…
As I had mentioned in a previous post, I met a little girl that was four and a half years old in the airport in Portland on my way back to Vancouver (Day Five: Kids Rock!). There was, most definitely, something there to reflect on. I’ve known this for a long time and it was just further cemented in this recent experience. Just like the mother of this young girl, always create an environment to support and promote creativity - the earlier you start the better.
All too often I come across people that don’t know who they are or what they want to do with their lives. This takes experimentation, and while you could do it any time during your life, it becomes more risky as time goes on. Furthermore, many questions, and therefore problems, could have been solved years ago - or at the very least, given you the tools earlier in life to deal with future issues. Knowing this, I’m sure you can come up with a couple examples. I can come up with a handful without even thinking about it. So, what’s the point? Help your kids find out who they are and what they want out of life as soon as possible. lt’s one of the biggest things you can do to accelerate someone to a life of success and complete happiness.
