I just got served a humble lesson(s) from my 18-Month-Old baby at the playground.
#1 Just F*cking do it and stop overthinking
#2 Repition leads to self-mastery.
A few weeks ago at the park, I watched Mia approach the "rolly slide" (IKYK) with extreme caution. Looking at me like "F ma.. can I do what those big kids are doing??"
I guess curiousty won, as she accessed her courage by walking her cute butt up there, proceeded to go down 487x (getting more and more confident each time), which reminded me of how much we have to learn and gain from watching our little ones follow their natural instincts.
How often do we as adults approach a fork in the road - desiring to engage with something new, and then either talk ourselves out of it due to fear of the unknown, rejection or looking like an idiot, when all we really need to do it access 5sec of insane courage, take messy action, repeat said action until we master it, and get better and better at it, (which leads to our inevitable success).
Yowza! What do you think? Wild right? Have you learnt lessons from your kids? Tell me!!!
