Have you ever noticed that as we get older, we tend to become more attached to things and more resistant to change? It’s almost like we go from being open and curious as children to being more closed off and set in our ways as adults. But why is that? And is it really necessary?

Think about it: when we’re young, we’re constantly learning and growing. We’re open to new experiences and opportunities, and we’re not afraid to try new things or make mistakes. But as we age, it seems like we start to get more attached to things and we become more fearful of change. We hold onto relationships, jobs, and possessions that no longer serve us, simply because we’re afraid of letting go and moving on.

But what if we could reclaim that childlike attitude and approach life with a sense of openness and curiosity again? Imagine how different our thoughts and mindsets would be if we were able to embrace change and see new experiences as additions to our lives rather than threats.

Of course, it’s not always easy to let go of things and embrace change. It can be scary to let go of something familiar, even if it’s no longer serving us. But the truth is that everything is temporary, and holding onto things that are no longer working for us can actually hold us back and prevent us from moving forward and finding fulfillment.

So how can we start to embrace the art of letting go and approach life with a childlike attitude again? Here are a few tips:

1. Remember that everything is temporary: It’s important to remember that nothing lasts forever, and that’s okay. Embrace change and see it as an opportunity for growth and new experiences rather than something to be feared.

2. Be open to new opportunities: Don’t let fear hold you back from trying new things or taking on new challenges. Be open to new opportunities and see them as a chance to learn and grow.

3. Let go of things that are no longer serving you: If you find that you’re holding onto relationships, jobs, or possessions that are no longer benefiting you, it may be time to let them go. Remember that it’s okay to let go of things that are no longer working for you in order to move forward.

4. Embrace your individuality: As children, we’re encouraged to be ourselves and embrace our unique qualities. But as we get older, we often lose sight of our individuality and try to fit in with others. Remember to embrace your unique qualities and be true to yourself.

5. Keep an open mind: Try to approach life with a sense of curiosity and openness. Look beyond the “why” of letting go and embrace the art of letting go with a sense of curiosity and growth.

By adopting a childlike attitude and embracing the art of letting go, we can start to approach life with a sense of openness and curiosity again. This can help us to grow and find fulfillment, even in the face of challenges or setbacks. So the next time you find yourself holding onto something that’s no longer serving you, remember to let go and embrace the opportunity for growth and new experiences.

letely different state of mind. It sounds like a fairytale, yet I see possibilities with this kind of approach to life. We tend to accept things only from people to whom we are willing to give value. Yet with this attitude, we deprive ourselves of the opportunity to grow. When we are young, we are very aware that we need our surroundings to improve life. Think about a teacher, a friend, the neighbors, and so on. Most of us love our parents, but there comes a time when you let go of each other because you want to stand on your own feet. You did not stop loving. You are just ready to explore the world and embrace your individuality. When we become old, we tend to cling to everything. We seem not to let go Easily. What happened with the child attitude approach of life that most of us have experienced? When did we stop seeing everything as an opportunity to be an addition to our life? 

No matter what happened in our life, we all started with the child attitude approach of life. Some of us have been pushed to grow fast, some of us had the opportunity to enjoy it for a little longer. Some of them still have the fire of that childish approach, and some flames are slowly dying. If you want to know who’s flame still sparkled? take a look at the people who society has been “labelled” as: ‘They never grow up. ‘

Don’t get me wrong, I don’t mean the people who never have accepted reality, never worked on themselves, not knowing themselves, acting like the world has done everything wrong, and so on. There is nothing wrong with this kind of person either, just a lack of knowledge. And actually, the people who gave them the label also live in a world of ignorance. So at the end who’s wrong and who’s right anyway?! But you know perhaps the difference between childish behavior and looking within the perception of a child. 

When a child goes to elementary school, they will make friends and probably some of them will cry when they move on to university. But eventually, they will make new friends, improvements, a reason to explore, because of the continued flow of changing and adapting life, they can grow. Some chapters might feel very painful, not useful; they prefer to forget as soon as possible. But other chapters of their lives are the best they have ever had so far. It seems like they have surrendered to life and make the most of it. Since everything changes that they have no control over. 

When we grow old, it feels like we are programmed to be attached to everything suddenly, you claim things. a House, a Job, a Partner, stuff, and so on. It seems like we are getting afraid of losing things. But the fact is that nothing has ever been ours. Only anxiety. 

We start to believe that only that person you have chosen is your only anchor and that we only need this person. What always has surprised me is that we suddenly demand from our life partner to meet all your desires on all subjects. To me, it seems un-human to expect that from another human. 

Sometimes, things have no chance of success in advance because we set up not feasible conditions. Not because you are not a good fit but just because you are swimming against the current energy flow of life.

When we say our vow and get married, we think we get the feeling of security. But that person can still leave. What is forever anyway? Is there a possibility to look at our life partner or people around us as a beautiful addition to our life while figuring out the jungle of life? That we try to accept everything, the good days and the bad days? 

When I changed my perspective to a child’s perspective, I figured out that I did not embrace the art of letting go. I cling to my validation of the things that I hold on to. Something like: If I let that boy go, I need to face the emotions of what I need, or if I quit this job maybe I can’t ignore the feelings of being unfulfilled, or maybe I cannot deny the feelings of not being worthy. 

Because if you start looking beyond the reason “Why” you can not let go and are clinging to whatever comes to your path. You might acknowledge that somewhere on the journey, you lost that contact with the inner child and kept yourself just busy with putting band-aids on your wounds instead of healing them.

Maybe this sounds a little bit like a fairytale story, but what could happen if we change our mindset and work with the thoughts: I receive the world as an addition to my life. We might bump into great people. We might shift the negativity or the impossible into opportunities and possibilities. 

And if you immediately feel resistance to this, it is the perfect opportunity to start immediately to see that this article is an addition to your life.
