What are all the things you can’t do!?
How much time do you spend thinking about them?
Let me tell you a secret (Are you leaning in? Good!): If you believe you can’t, you’re right!
But!
If you BELIEVE YOU CAN, You CAN!!!
———~
When was the last time you let your hair down? Had fun just being silly? When was the last time that, instead of grumbling about how rainy it was you were grateful that the rain provides a water fountain for all the thirsty plants of the world to drink? Or better yet, when was the last time you started singing “If all the raindrops were lemon drops and gumdrops, oh what a rain that would be” and stuck your tongue out to catch the raindrops!?
When was the last time you giggled like a schoolgirl?
So often, our tendency is to focus on the negative—all the things we can’t do 0r don’t want to happen!
Turn that notion on its head.
For the rest of the day, look for what’s good in the situation.
Find the “YES YOU CAN” that is buried inside of you, bring her out and listen to her for a change!
Give yourself permission to play.
As adults, we sometimes dismiss “playing” as being something that children do, asserting our sophisticated adults know everything attitudes! Just look at how much fun the kiddies are having?
Don’t YOU want to have fun like that too!?
I Do!
So today, I challenge you to go swing on a swing, play in the sand, make beautiful, perfect snow angels (if you make them, they are perfect!), play tag, or have a “Chinese” fire drill around your car. Heck, have a food fight and lick all the icing off your fingers!
Remember what it was like not to be the sophisticated adult you have become, but the free spirited fun-loving, constantly laughing child of your heart!
Go! Get back on the merry-go-round and pick your favorite horse and be the prettiest darn cowgirl the world has ever seen!
Do You Love Your Life Now!? I DO! (Because I Allow my fun-loving Inner Child to regularly come out and play!)

Great players agree that a perfect and athletic setup is much more important than having a perfect swing. Andres Loveswing
