Indeed, we have lost our creativity as we have grown older. We have become comfortable in our comfort zones and cannot think or imagine our lives being otherwise. We tightly cling to our past, and let it determine our future.In our minds we have created an image of who we are, of what we can or cannot do. And each day we live to uphold this image.

Somehow we have confined ourselves to what we already know, that is our past. And of course we cannot see it any other way. However, there is so much more we can do or be. The only limits that are present are those we have created or those that we believe to be present

Those who believe that they can lead nations do, those who believe that they can climb mountains do. Those who believe that they can write bestsellers do, and those who believe that they can dance do.

The difference is only in the mindset. The difference is only in what we can see ourselves do. You can be as creative as your mind takes you. When we were younger we saw many possibilities. Our perceptions were not rigid but creative.

However, as we have grown older, we have become accustomed to that which we know. And even though somehow we feel that we can be more. We dismiss these inner voices as mere day dreaming. Our eyes are quick to see obstacles. Our mouths ready to shout impossible

Even the people around us, do not encourage us. They pull us down, further reinforcing our limited beliefs.

However, for a moment be like a child. Set yourself free of these imaginary limitations. Let your mind run wild. See different versions of you today. See different points of view today. Think of something you would like to be or do. And really question yourself what is stopping you. Write these limitations down and really evaluate whether or not it can be done.

When you begin to question, you will realise that in most situations, the limitations are self imposed. You will see that the limitations can be transcended if just like a child you do not recognise the obstacles and are willing to give it a go. Just like a child forget yesterday, today is a day anew. Start afresh. Today you have been reborn into a new person. And today you can do, or be whatever you choose to be.

And that can only happen of course, if just like a child your intentions are pure and innocent. If just like a child, you know no limitations. If just like a child, you trust in a higher power. Never doubting but trusting.

Let the child in you awaken the possibilities. Be like a child today!
