Lessons learned from my young children. My little boy here, he looks out and waits patiently as others pass him by on their sled. He doesn’t pay any mind to the excitement found around him. He would rather be in his own little world, making his own discoveries right where he is…(Isn’t that inspiring?)
He soon ventures out of his comfort zone to watch the action and eventually ventures out on his own knees. He is not bothered that he is without a sled. In fact, he has made himself quiet comfortable being who he is, where he is…
(why do so many adult have a hard time with this? Being uncomfortable being themselves among the crowd?)
He finds himself out in the open snow hill among other eager children…(why are adults so afraid of their own risks? Afraid of sharing who they truly are inside?)
He decides to use what he has (himself) to have his own fun, no matter what anyone thinks around him. (Why are we NOT so free at expressing ourselves and giving it our all and dancing like no one is watching. A lesson learned indeed).
Happy and content he will be as he doesn’t bother with the fact that he does not have his own sled. He actually is happy walking and crawling on his own, he enjoys watches those around him… (Why can’t we as adults be more comfortable being who we are instead of conforming to the norm just to fit in?).
Until he is carried away because he is in the way. He was in his own world and happy as can be, why can’t we? (Yes, why can’t we learn something in an observation of a child who does not care what others think, do or say around him? He has his own mind and it is made up and he is not afraid to show it!). I applaude him!! I have learned from him.
A lesson learned indeed. We are conformists. If we stand out from the crowd then we are afraid to stand out amongst the crowd. We fear rejection. We fear not feeling like we fit in, we conform too often.
It is so comfortable to be in our comfort zones.
Es verdad, ellos nos enseñan muchas cosas, pero el problema es ponerlas nosotros en práctica. Vives en un lugar precioso, me encantan tus fotografías, besos
A very interesting and intriguing post, Martina.
So many inspirations in one post and expressed beautifully along with the cutest pictures. I loved this post, Martina. Your photos alone say so much.
We still have that child inside us, we must keep that in our minds and let it out when ever we want to, so as to be happy and joyful! Thanks a lot! 
Oops, that last smiley was supposed to be a smile

Innocence. We can learn so much from children. They can be brutally honest, open, filled with love and free. Unfortunately, adults insist on training them to be as we are. The innocence erodes away and they become as we. Only one Father was perfect and taught what truly needed to be learned. We are not so gifted. But if we are open we can still learn and pass on those truths. Thank you Martina, for an enlightening post.

Interesting post. He’s fascinated with the snow itself–that’s his joy. What lessons we learn from children. Great post, Martina.
