I thought I would write something about this picture, and the statement that is attached to it. "What would the child you once were... Think of the adult you have become?"
I think as adults were too hard on ourselves sometimes. When you think about when you were a kid. All the things that you would be when you were all grown-up. Getting out of grade school and into the "big kid school" where all the cool people were. If we only would have known what life was really like when you get older. We might take time to stop and appreciate being a kid. Where we are all so trusting, and so loving. Not tainted by the pride of the world. Still so trusting and loving of everyone, but not everyone is like that when they get older. You have to be guarded against your friends and the people around you. a good healthy sense of paranoia will keep you safe, or a loving open sense of trust will get you hurt if you get in over your head. the goal is to not get bitter after the fact of the lessons you learn. So we all have the opportunity to be like we were as a child, but with all the experience and information that we have now. We just need to think about what we want more than we want right now.
The Heart of a child is vulnerable but kind. We can learn to not be vulnerable, but we have to Choose not to be kind.
