just because we're smart or intelligent, doesn't mean we can't make childish decisions. sometimes its good to dream and take risks, and sometimes thinking way too much into it stops you from doing things that would mean a more fulfilling life. if we were so cautious about going into the ocean because a riptide might drown us, how might we ever learn to swim? knowing the risks involved does not mean they are going to happen, and sometimes knowing too much can be worse than not knowing enough. . .
think like a child that doesn't think much. yes it sounds redundant, but if you simplify it, it makes sense. i'm not saying act stupid or and throw tantrums, i'm talking about naivety, and innocence. if you feel a certain way, and you really have genuine feelings, then express yourself, like an innocent child would. there is nothing worse than not taking advantage of opportunities that may never return. kids grasp life in the moment, because they care not for the future, and in many ways, that is a good thing. of course, not excessively, but done in a moderate manner, in conjunction with your own lifestyle, it could help lighten you up.
we try so hard to teach kids to be adults, and we rush them to grow up, because we are so impatient in regards to their unfamiliarity with life, that we rob them of the one time in life, that they could enjoy without worry. we were young once, and we should let them be too. instead of rushing them to be like us, we should slow down and take a lesson from them. no one is ever too old, 'cause old souls can play young too!
next time you feel like life is too much of a burden, don't feel so old and helpless, but young and full of life. embrace the future with open arms, like a child seeing his parents after a day at school. be naive if you have to, be innocent if the situation permits, be cheerful, be playful, be happy. be young, cause life will try to do otherwise, and thats the only counter that will keep you alive. . . . .
