2. IF YOU FEEL LIKE CRYING, DO IT. As adults, we tend to hide our tears and try not to cry at all. When kids are sad or frustrated, they scream and cry and have a good cathartic moment. They recover with a smile and face the world again.
3. MAKE UP YOUR OWN DANCE MOVES. Kids jump, hop, and shimmy without a care in the world as to what they look like. They don't worry about perfecting the latest dance moves, they just move their bodies in ways that feel good to them--and they enjoy every moment of it.
4. HUG YOUR FRIENDS. Kids love to hug and they offer kisses easily. Their openness and expression through touch can be a valuable lesson for adults to apply in their own lives.
5. WONDER "WHY?" ABOUT EVERYTHING. As adults, we no longer question the status quo. Children are more curious and they want to know: Why do flowers grow in one place and not in another? What's at the center of the earth? Why do leaves change colors? The world awes and delights them on a daily basis. As long as we do the same, it can do the same for us.
6. HAVE HOPE. Children seem to believe in miracles even before they happen. They believe if they wish for something hard enough it will come true. The have faith in the shooting star, the four-leaf clover, and blowing out all the candles with one breath. Don't stop believing just because there are more candles to blow out." - Carolyn Rubenstein
