Fearless

Why is it when you're 2 you have no fear but as you age you're scared? When you're 2 you have so much ambition and drive and curiosity. You're carefree and completely fearless. You don't take no for an answer and you always try your best to achieve your goals when everyone tells you no. You go to great extremes to achieve your goals. Is it because you know that when you fall you will always have someone there to catch you and to comfort you. Someone to give you that hug and kiss and make things better for you as you fall on your butt again and again.

As we age we are completely the opposite. We don't try new things. We don't set goals and push limits. We sometimes take no for an answer and never achieve things we've always dreamed of. We are scared. We lose our drive in life for things we know in our hearts we can do because someone says you can't do it. We forget who we are and who we want or were meant to be. We leave all of our dreams behind.

I admire Braden and Felisha and all children alike. At that age they have so much courage and ambition and sass. When they fail or fall all they want is to wrap their arms around their mothers neck and they feel better instantly. That is probably one of the greatest joys of motherhood. They feel good enough to get back on their feet and keep trying. Being a mother, we try to protect our children as best we can. Sometimes we fail at things but we all learn a little something along the way.
