10 Pieces of Advice From Your Kid When You Need More Fun in Your Life

8. There is no use for worry. 

To kids, either bad things happen or they don’t. They don’t spend all day anticipating them, they take life moment by moment. If something bad happens, they deal with it emotionally in whatever way feels natural and they move on. This is something to truly strive for.

9. Explore, explore, explore. 

If you kept a child in the same room day after day, he or she would likely go insane by the end of the week. We, however, seem content with this. The purpose of life is discovery, to learn, to explore, to experience the new. To refrain from that is to stagnate.

10. Brag when you do something good. 

When a child draws something, it doesn’t matter how good someone else thinks it is – they think it’s good, and they will show it to anyone who will look. We don’t do enough of that.

We spend most of the time afraid that what we’ve done isn’t good enough, and the rest of the time trying to downplay our achievements for fear of looking arrogant. It’s time to congratulate ourselves, and to be proud of our achievements, whether they’re celebrated by others or not.
