In a follow-up from last Friday´s episode, David looks at what adults can learn from children. He explores the benefits of cultivating certain child-like qualities as adults, for example, curiosity, tolerance, inclusion and being fearless. David also explains how children can help us to live more in the moment and be more present.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• We all suffer from days where we feel conflicted. As adults, we are constantly working to conform. Sometimes in ways that do not reflect who we are and are not good for us.
• Societal norms push us to abandon some childlike qualities that can actually serve us and others well.
• There is a time and a place for behaving in certain ways.
• As adults we are taught to replace curiosity with judgement.
• Children are more open-minded about people and more tolerant.
• As adults, we need to learn to fear less. We let fear lock us into following restricted paths.
• Be more observant, notice the little things and give yourself time to reflect.
• Every day, ask yourself – “How can I be more childlike in a way that serves me?”

BEST MOMENTS

‘Those on the fringes potentially begin to feel like they don’t have a place in that mechanised or standardised environment,’

‘A lot of fear comes from experiences as a child where we speak up in childlike innocence and we get cut down.’

‘A child will focus on that thing that's there.’

‘They grow just a little bit every day, they learn something new.’

ABOUT THE SHOW

People with purpose make a difference. Imagine a world where more people can just get their purpose out of them, into a plan and then actually make it happen. What a world that would be - People everywhere finding meaning and harnessing that to bring inspiration and energy to each and every day, changing lives for the better. But no one ever achieved anything on their own - we all have something unique to bring and that means we all have to play our part - if we want to go far, we have to go together and lead or serve towards a vision of the world we want to see. Everyone has a story to tell, and this show is where these stories come to life.
