Being Involved

Dear Kids,

Something I never want to forget is how important it is, and how INNATE it is, for every human being to want to be involved with people around them.

Joshua, who just turned two years old yesterday, is reminding me of this fact. He is constantly wanting to be involved in everything going on around him. When all the kids are outside playing, he must be out there with them. Just tonight when everyone hopped in the truck to go on a ride with dad, he was freaking out because he wasn't there with them. When anyone is brushing their teeth, he wants to do it too.

There are lists and lists of things that are like this, and Joshua is not unique in this fact. EVERY child does this.

So where do we loose it? It is so natural for every child to push to be involved and "be a part". At some point we choose to listen to the negative thoughts inside of us that we are "not enough" and don't allow ourselves to be part of things any more. Maybe because of being afraid of what people will think of us, not wanting to look silly, not wanting to intrude... for whatever reason... just remember, it's NOT NATURAL. It is a learned behavior. Learned at 6 years old or 16, at some point all of us go through it.

So unhook! Remember that, just like a child, people are born to love. Kids are born to be "a part". To be involved, don't forget! It is such a natural state of "flow". When we don't stop ourselves from being part of something and don't stop ourselves because of fear, we can live in faith. It is natural for us to live in faith, we have just forgotten.

Remember kids! Remember to live in faith! Remember to flow with your natural positive self that you were given at birth. Remember!

I love you,

Your Mom
