Self Renewal

A wise psychologist once said that “adults are nothing more than deteriorated children.” We are at our most creative and our most powerful when we are connected to the child within us. Whether we are at business or at home, when we see the world through the eyes of a child, we live our biggest and best lives. Children bring boundless festivity to their moments, live with wide open hearts, see the innocence in others and dream big dreams. However, as we grow through life, so many of us lose access to the children that we once were. We pick up the false beliefs, limiting assumptions, fears and judgments of the world around us. We lost sight of our Original Nature and begin to wear social masks that we present to the world in an effort to fit in. Yet, the only place you get to when you follow the Crowd is the exit.

As you improve your leadership capacities, I encourage you to make the time for self-renewal and personal regeneration. Make the time to nourish the child within you. Make the time to recreate who you are and see the world through a new set of eyes. Carve out some time to bring balance back into your life, to re-energize your spirit and to nourish your mind.
