“When the girl in a woman is happy, the woman is
happy.”
Just a statement, made by a CEO of an international
organization in Hong Kong, I heard during one of my Hikes.
When we grow up
in life we start to ‘behave’. We conduct ourselves towards others in accordance
with the accepted norms of a society or a group. We lose - but more and more
long to - our childhood.
Childhood. The time of discovering, exploring, the guts to pass thresholds, playing (some the jester), touching and learning life, of being curious in connecting. No to much worried of adapting to culture, sometimes religion and/or environment.

Because of
things that have hurt us or are not acceptable in our society or group, we start to learn how to deal with a couple
of main primary life issues; How to stay safe and how to survive? So without
even being aware of this, we cover ourselves with protection veils or in some
cases even harnesses. Without even knowing we tie the child in us and try not
to listen to the boy or girl inside any more.
Growing older
and older there can be a period we more and more long to listen to our inner
boy, or girl, the child inside. Getting children can be such a period. Because
of them we grant ourselves sometimes to behave as a child. And be aware what
it, most of the times, brings. Big smiles, lots of energy, real connection,
living (again for a short while?).
There is nothing
wrong with listening more and more to your boy and girl inside. Listen to them.
You know how to deal with the signals they give. Follow them. Be playful,
laugh, smile, explore. You do not only make yourself more happy. Your different energy also will influence the world around you in a positive way.
See situations and the world around not always as serious. It is only YOU who create your world.

Listen to your
inner boy or girl and make them happy.
“When the boy in a man is happy, the man is happy.”
“When the girl in a woman is happy, the woman is
happy.”
