Be Childlike

Too many people grow up. That’s the real trouble with the world, too many people grow up. They forget. They don’t remember what it’s like to be 12 years old. They patronize; they treat children as inferiors. Well I won’t do that. – Walt Disney

Keeping that inner child is a boon for creatives. Children explore without reservation, they seek truth, they’re not afraid to ask questions, they play, and they always ask the most important question — Why? If you want to be more creative grab your inner child and embrace him or her. 

Whether it’s trips to Disneyland, visiting comic conventions, or enjoying your favorite game from when you were a kid, bring enhance your childlike qualities and enjoy life more. Just be sure not to become childish.
