Adulting Isn't All It's Cracked Up To Be!

#throwback I have very fond memories growing up with water balloons (maybe not so good for the environment). I can still hear the laughter, feel the excitement and feel that moment as you missed the hit from the incoming balloon or your balloon hit it's target - YES, score!!!

But there was also that moment when filling the water balloon up, it got so full that it broke! Darn balloon! The worst part was that if your opponents didn't play by the rules and had back up amo, then this was their chance to ambush you. And trust me, know one likes and ambush!

Do you remember that little girl? The one that used to laugh, have fun, giggle at the silliest things and live life in the moment? All she dream't about was being able to wake up and do it all over again. I trust for some of us there was dark moments growing up and this can be painful, but in the dark there is always light... So focus on these light memories.

Where did she go? When was the last time you actually had fun and squealed like a little girl (I don't suggest you do this right now, but consider when? WARNING: neighbors block your ears)!

As much as we like to think we are 'adult', there is a part of us that is so innocent and loving and a believer of her dreams. And yet we let the opinions or dreams of others take that away from us.

What did you dream about doing or being as a child? You still can do this... The opportunities that are before you are unlimited. The only thing that will stop you is that little girl inside scared to go after her dreams for fear of not reaching them.

Today do something fun... Dream again...Find a park and swing on the swing. Put music on and dance like no one is watching,sing like the diva you are and laugh uncontrollably.
But most of all...never forget how amazing you are... Amanda Bate Motivational Mentor & Coach
