Advice from kids? That sounds outrageous, right? But apparently, kids tend to give the best of advice. Simple yet powerful! Okay, maybe not "advice" but "lessons".

Sometimes we tend to overlook these simple yet powerful lessons, but the truth is these lessons never go out of style.
Behind all of that naughty and mischievous attitude lies great lessons that we can learn and treasure. Actually, even their naughtiness has lessons embedded in them that we could learn.
I don't always get to spend time around kids but every little moment I spend with them always is worthwhile, the reminder of all those little life lessons that I have forgotten, all those things I have taken for granted which by the way are valuable
We once were like them but then ”adulting" happened (that's what we call it, right?). But growing up doesn't mean we should give up such valuable lessons
That doesn't mean that kids are the perfect set of individuals you will ever meet but even in their imperfection, even in their little struggle for growth, there is a whole lot within them that is worth learning and embracing. Just like adults, kids ain't perfect but they are amazing and one doesn't have to be perfect before we learn from them because we all aren't

Some of us have succeeded in kicking the myth of adulting on the butt, some of us never fell for it, some us are still trying, some of us need a little reminder. Which ever category you might belong to, a little reminder won't hurt😊
A Few Reminder Of Things You Could Learn From Kids In case You Have None Around Or You Simply Are Overlooking
We Don't Know It All
Kids always seem to be fond of asking countless questions, some which we may find outrageous and other that we may find incredible. Yeah, they are kids and are still learning but through their questions you may realize that there really are things that you still don't know and maybe need to learn a little bit more and that's just how it is- we never quite learning.
Learn To Ask For Help
Adulting sometimes comes with the weight of trying to juggle everything together when we can very much as for help with other things and get it done. Yeah, there are things that we can handle and there are things that we do need a little bit of help to get through with it. Kids are never afraid to ask for help and when you feel like you are "drowning" you shouldn't be afraid to ask for help either.
There Is A Big World Out There Waiting To Be Explored
Why familiarize yourself with just one place when you can get out there and have a taste of them all? Seeing a child play around and explore his environment reveals that much about life to us. So, explore and learn.
Dream On
Ever heard a child say his dreams? He says it with so much enthusiasm and hopes that it definitely will work out. To him, the world is fair and all his dreams will be fulfilled someday. Maybe having such an outlook towards life is great, don't you think?
Let Your Heart Overflow With Love
Somehow, that comes naturally to them and they are never afraid of showing it. Even those that don't receive enough love know very well how to give it (well, until they start growing). Make a kid angry and he will be smiling at you before the day ends. Sweet, yeah? It's definitely worth learning, it will save us a whole lot of heartaches because the heart aches most times when it is devoid of love.❤

Have Fun
How we forget that important part of life as we grow, we do need to understand that having fun doesn't make us foolish in fact our body does need that and we really shouldn't deprive ourselves of it. Just as we do need to be serious we also need to be playful sometimes.They play like they have no worries yet sometimes they do have their own little concerns just that they have found a little way to keep the fears and worries at bay😊
There is a whole lot of things we can learn from kids, really. These are just a few of them. Have kids around? Pay attention to those little lessons. Don't have kids around? Well, the world is never void of them, just look around.

Responsibilities come as we grow but that doesn't mean we should stop living. Sometimes we just need to let free that kid which we have in prison within us and live!!
