The most creative people have this childlike facility to play. – John Cleese

In our sales meeting we were sharing the best thing that happened to us over the weekend and more than once someone said “holidays are so much more fun with kids around”.

One of life’s great balancing acts is the process of becoming an adult and leaving behind childish ways and tendencies without losing the good things about being a child.

Spending time with kids will remind you of this quickly.

They can be exceptionally creative and sweet one minute and selfish and whiney the next.

As parents we get to do our best to encourage the creativity and sweetness and help squash the selfishness and whining as much as possible.

Today’s email is a reminder to embrace the good parts of your inner child.

Have fun.

Be goofy.

Be selfless in the same way that only an innocent child can be.

Have a simple faith that it will all be great.

Make it a great day.
