What do children teach us?

The title of my first article has been "Do you remember?" and in the article I was asking at the beginning if you remember how we were playing working games when we were little and after that I talked about how the situation is now, how we are now as adults. I've done that precisely to make a point, to trigger something subconsciously for you who are reading the article. (If you want to re-read it you can find it here .)

Coming back to the remembering I have to say I always love being around children or to work and be around people that have a child-like energy. Like Paulo Coelho said: “A child can teach an adult three things: to be happy for no reason, to always be busy with something, and to know how to demand with all his might that which he desires.”.

Yes, they have some bad sides, that demanding part of theirs that is not always well suited in all situations and can become annoying in some ways, but their energy is incredible. Yet we need to pay attention - if we would all demand with all our might we would live everywhere in a war-like environment, so a little consciousness in this and control through education is needed.

Anyhow you'll always see child-like people doing whatever they do incredibly well. I am not talking about irresponsible people here but of people that see working or any activity as a playful thing and work in creative ways. You'll always see them keeping busy, playing fair and doing their best. They take attitude when unfair things happen and that is when mostly is best to let their demanding attitude out at play. I'm talking here about the best of the best. They are my inspiration. Some may not be aware of how they are creative in their work but I see it.

This is how I see work as well, as a creative, responsible play. I work with a happy attitude, demanding what is needed when is needed. Truly I really love working and being busy with something. Is like once you see the beauty behind you can't stop and you just want to do better, to do more. However I remember to also take breaks, relaxation pauses, to have my energy up so that my work is done with a good energy. I am happy when I see the same attitude around me and that inspires me.

So let's bring the inner child to surface in everything we do, let's work happily, only demanding when things are really necessary. Let's bring up a community of child-like adults responsible and happy. Let's do things with good, inspiring energy! This is how we can see the world change for the better - with small, easy, creative changes in a responsible way!
