"Good night sweethearts. Grandpa will take good care of you." - Sofia saying goodbye to her dolls before we leave to go back to her mother's.
"I reawy have to use my magination with this book." - Sofia picking up a copy of Chaucer's Canterbury Tales to read, and seeing the lack of pictures.
"Just fa-woh your heart. Fa-woh your heart and you'll be fine." - Sofia reading "The Little Mermaid"
From a fairy tale when we're young to "The Secret" to living a full and happy life as adults, it's as if we complete the circle by returning to our innocence, reminding me of the song by Enigma off the Pure Moods cd ("Return to Innocence).
Why is it for children life seems so happy and simple? Is it really because they have no responsibilities? Or is it because they intuitively know to let themselves be guided by their hearts, holding truth in one hand and full confidence in the other?
The most successful adults I have studied show the same characteristics; blessed with careers their hearts are truly into, wealthy with inner joy AND dollars as they operate with full confidence and living the truth of who they really are (versus trading their lives for dollars, gaining material possessions and looking to others to validate who they are, and waiting for "one day" to really live).
"When we're children we still remember." - Laura Lee

Life is happy and simple for children because they are untainted. They haven't been chipped away at by the growing up process. Purity breeds simplicity.
