What goes on in a child's head? People will probably assume simple things such as; I'm hungry, I'm bored, I'm tired. But these are the people that don't have what these children have and use so much. An Imagination, this is a key that children have they can think of everything, nothing is impossible to them. Children also have adults and their parents telling them "you can" they don't have anyone saying they can't do this and can't do that, now the people that can hold onto that "I can" are the people that find success and happiness in life. Because you're taught that you can't, when you can do it just believe in yourself and don't worry about opinions, you just have to take your imagination and find what you want and do it. Once you go to school starting from around sixth grade you get thoughts hammered into you, these thoughts are that to live happy is just to do well in school go to college and get a good job. That's what they keep feeding you with. Now while I think it is important to learn I don't think school is giving you the knowledge you need right now for your life. You shouldn't need to work for someone and be under people. I always tell my parents about all these millionaires and billionaires who just did it themselves, and you know what every adult I tell says to me? They're special and got lucky. And I just think, wow thanks for the encouragement. But they're wrong all those people are just people none of them have more capabilities than me, if they can I can, and same with you. If you want to do something you can do it, all the people that tell you that you can't, they just couldn't do what they wanted and can't wrap their mind around it that you can. These people just need to be proven wrong, all the teachers that say you can't, all your relatives, or anyone else prove them wrong, I know you can. As I already said if someone did it, there's nothing saying you can't. Now some people might have bigger dreams of something no one has done yet. And I'm not gonna say it won't work because I can't predict the future. And neither can anyone else don't let them say "that won't work." If you want it bad enough you can get anything to work. There are people that know this, the people that have done it. Find the people that did what you want to do and ask them to help you and give you information on how to. Because I bet that they want to find those select few people that have escaped the grasp of society and are ready to do something more with their life than a nine to five. This goes farther than just careers by the way. You can go do an activity or start something new because their are people that will tell you that you can't do that either. People are rude and they don't like seeming lower than anyone, encouragement is hard to find these days, if you can't find it, make your own. Now you might also just not know what to do or what you want to do. This is where the other part of a child's mind comes in, imagination. Use your imagination be creative and think of things you like to do or think is cool and you want to do. I play with cards when I first saw cardistry it was amazing even some simple moves looked like it would take years to master, now I can do it easily and smoothly at whatever point in time I want to. And so many people said to do magic instead or just focus on something more productive, yeah I didn't listen. Now I'm so happy doing what I do and you should be happy doing things as well. If you just don't know what interests you, start doing things and trying new things there's definitely something out their you'll love, it's just a matter of finding it. But life is like a maze, people keep thinking if I go that way it could be a dead end, and then they end up going nowhere, don't be like those people, take your chances and go. Walt Disney once said "If you can't like an adult when you're a kid, you can afford to live like a child for the rest of your life." These are wise words from a very successful man take this advice but remember, children have a great mindset we all can learn from, take the I can and imagination of a child and use that in your path to doing great things, because even thought you're told you can't you can and other people can't say anything about that, and if they try to don't listen to them, they couldn't do it themselves and don't want you to. In the end it all depends on you. You have to want it enough, and then with the thought of I can. You'll make those dreams and bring them to reality, never forget your dreams, because at one point of time if you hold on. Dreams and reality become the same thing.
