When was the last time you tried something new?
Something where you were completely out of your comfort zone.
If the answer is not recently, or you cannot even remember, I have another question.
What is one thing that every person would want for their child?
I know, there are many things that you could list.
But can we agree that one of those things is your child finding something that they love?
It doesn’t have to turn into a career. It can always stay a leisure activity. But you would want them to have something that they truly enjoy doing, wouldn’t you? Something that makes them feel alive. Something that brings joy and playfulness into their day.
So, how do you help your child find that thing?
You encourage them to try different things. You expose them to as many different interests as possible. You don’t put restrictions or pressure on them while they are trying out those things.
You allow them to play.
Now, my final question for you is this.
Why would you ever stop doing the same thing for yourself?
When did you stop allowing and encouraging yourself to play?
That child is still in you. And you are responsible for it.
Please, keep trying out different things. It’s never too late for you to find something that makes your day better, something that lights a fire in your heart or “at least” puts a smile on your face.
Please, keep playing.
