What Children Know About Dreams That Adults Forget
This episode is a little different.
Today, my daughter Sunday takes over the microphone and interviews me and then I turn the questions back on her.
What starts as a funny conversation about favourite foods, gold or silver, dream homes, animals and business quickly becomes something much deeper:
When did we stop believing that anything was possible?
I ask Sunday whether dreams can come true.
“Yes, Queen.”
Can you do anything?
“Yes.”
Is anything possible?
“Yes.”
No hesitation. No list of reasons why not. No worrying about whether she has enough qualifications, money, followers, experience or knowledge.
Just possibility.
We talk about her dream of helping animals, the businesses she would create, and what she would do if she needed to make money tomorrow.
And her answers reminded me of something I think so many adults have forgotten:
There is almost always another possibility.
As adults, we accumulate limitations.
We decide we're not qualified enough. We don't have enough money. We're too old. We didn't finish school. We don't know how. Someone else is already doing it.
Children haven't necessarily built all of those walls yet.
They dream first.
In this episode I also share some of my biggest dreams, from the beautiful farm I envision living on, to creating a space that changes people's lives, and my desire to impact thousands of women every year.
Sunday and I also talk about the three questions we ask at night:
1. What could I have done better today?
Not to judge or punish ourselves, but to become aware of where we can grow.
2. What did I do today that I'm proud of?
Because we need to recognise and celebrate ourselves too.
3. What was the most fun thing I did today?
Because understanding what brings us joy helps us create more of it.
This episode is playful, imperfect, funny and real, but I hope it reminds you of the version of yourself who believed a little more freely.
Before someone told you it was unrealistic.
Before you needed to know exactly how.
Before fear started answering the question for you.
Ask yourself:
What would I dream about if I genuinely believed anything was possible?
Maybe the child within you already knows the answer.
