129: 3 Things We Can Learn from Kids

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">On today’s episode of the podcast,  I want to talk to you all about the value in learning from children and how we can apply their lessons to our own lives, especially as we get older and stuck in our ways.  Children learn by pushing buttons, opening things, and asking a million questions. And while we might not be kids anymore, we still have that ability to tap into that inner kid. As adults, many of us believe that we’ve seen and done it all, and it can be especially hard to reignite that spark that gets us out of bed in the morning. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In a time in our lives when fear handicaps us and the prospect of failure prevents us from acting in the first place, it can be helpful to take note of what kids do.  Like them, you can start embracing curiosity, excitement, fear, and failure. And like children, you will realize that you can’t help but progress and change.  When we’re kids, we’re constantly growing; it’s practically a given.  As we reach adulthood, however, growth becomes a choice, and one that’s not as easy.  So listen in to today's episode, and learn how you too can shut down your inner critic, open yourself up to change, and be better than you were yesterday. </span></p> <p> </p> <p><strong>The Finer Details of This Episode:</strong></p> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">The importance of curiosity and excitement</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Welcoming fear</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Forgetting failure</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Celebrating the little wins</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Why growth is a choice</span></li> </ul> <p> </p> <p><strong>Quotes: </strong></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“They push buttons, they open drawers, th
