A NOTE FROM COLE: START ACTING LIKE A BABY!
As adults, every single day we are holding ourselves back.
Lacey is now 18 months and as her “personality” begins to show more and more I find myself thinking to myself more often: “quit acting like a baby!”
We constantly are telling ourselves NO...even when we don’t realize it.
...of course I then quickly remind myself that she is still a baby and this is all part of parenting :) But the truth is, these “babies” and crazy kiddos actually can teach us a lot.
“No, I’m not good enough.” ... “No, I don’t have time.” ... “No, that won’t ever work.” ...and the list goes on. Babies don’t act this way. They take life on with gusto and are motivated to try new things and simply just explore life. ...and because of this they ultimately become quick learners and discover life in a completely different way than we “adults” do. They aren’t afraid of following a “walk vs run” mentality... heck, they are the ones who invented it! In closing, can we all start acting like babies a little bit more? Go ahead, write out your “no” list with all of the things you constantly tell yourself... then you should rip it up and throw it away and make a new list of things you will TRY for the first time. Push yourself just a bit and get comfortable with the uncomfortable and quit acting like such an adult all the time! ;)
In fact, in many areas of life, we should probably quit acting like an adult and start acting like a baby!
