“What Ignited Your Passion and Stimulated Your Imagination As a Child?”

Hopefully you found (or more likely made) time to ponder my recent questions?

Did the questions uncover any interesting answers for you?

For today, let’s have a little fun

Napoleon Hill taught us that our only limitations, are those we set up in our own minds.

That’s not quite true.

Sure, we learn a lot of limitations, but they aren’t all true.

Too short to play basket ball, too big or muscly to be into ballet, too small or feminine to be an MMA fighter, too male to be good at math, or too white to be a rapper.

Most of them are cultural expectations.
Many of them are completely unfounded.

But the one true limit we all actually face, is that of time.

There’s probably a million things you want to do while you are alive.

But you are only going to experience the things you fit into the time you have - and it is not unlimited.

Today I suggest considering your options from the perspective of a child.

Not just any child mind you, but the most important child on earth - the child that you once were, before you grew up and learned to accept whatever reality you experienced.

Because happiness is an emotion, and all emotions are experienced by your inner child, never your logical adult intellect.

So the question to ponder is, what ignited your passion and stimulated your imagination as a child?

If the answers that come up for you don’t seem possible or logical, let’s just hold off from judging just yet.

Again, logic is not that useful.

? What can you remember feeling really good about or dreaming about doing, before you grew up and became jaded, critical or ashamed to admit?

? What skills and abilities do you possess that might hint at or highlight your capacity to succeed at something desirable?

And since time is not on our side, like the clock swallowing alligator that torments childlike Peter Pan’s parental nemesis Captain Hook, as unpleasant as it may be to consider…

? What would you deeply regret not having done with your life on the day death comes knock knock knocking on your front door?

The dreams of children determine the realities of adults, only if we allow our critical minds to realize them, and how important they are to our wellbeing.

Have fun today reconnecting with your inner child, and soon we will get to bring everything together and turn your hunches and best guesses into a fully defined and clearly compelling goal.
