How to have a Childlike Attitude

By Hal Neff


What exactly is it about a child that is so worry free and completely packed with curiosity. Somehow when people get older they often begin to lose that worry free, curios spirit and get trapped in a rut going through life desiring to change less than possible. In fact often change becomes almost a profane word for many and one most people stay away from at all cost. This is really what brings a person's life into a standstill.

So what is it that happens that triggers this change to take place? Change always starts in the thoughts before it ever takes any physical truth for anybody's life. A child is continually in the process of change both physically and mentally exploring their surroundings to find the fresh and fascinating things around them. But, as people get older this fascination with life is often something which is the first to disappear and in fact becomes something lots of people want to avoid.

Generally people hate change so they carry on with the similar way in life day after day because it creates minimal quantity of trouble in their lives. But, if you look at the traits that exemplify childhood, two would be fascination and curiosity and these are the contrast to a static life. Every child has both of these qualities that they develop in life. It's these traits that cause a child to discover their environment without the effects of feeling ridiculous. It's also these qualities that allow a child to develop.

But as children get older and become grown ups, at some point it's no longer normal to act on a sense of enchantment. At that time, it becomes almost more important to look good in front of other people. So , to accomplish something that many displays a child like fascination might not represent the type of image that might seem acceptable.

To have a fascination with life means that you'll need an aspect or characteristic called faith. Jesus of Nazareth spoken of the value of having child like faith over two thousand years ago. He said it was people with this kind of belief who would inherit the Kingdom of Heaven. He went on to say that this was the only way this kingdom could be entered as faith is the essential element for someone to get in.

There are lots of gains to having such a child like fascination and faith. Some of the primary ones can even be viewed as health connected. Emotions such as anger and anxiety can begin rapidly to dissipate if they are seasoned with fascination and faith.

So now, make it a goal to reactivate that child like side of your life. Become the person of whom it can be said that He was truly a great man because He never lost the heart of a child.
