When was the last time you stepped outside your comfort zone?
When you really decided to push your boundaries?
How did it feel?
My 4 year old started school today after 3 years in familiar surroundings, people and routines to step into a totally new environment.
Most adults I know would struggle with that kind of change.
Whenever we face a change in life or business most often it fills our heads with fears and reasons not to step over that threshold.
In stark contrast my daughter was full of beans. She was excited at the prospect of a new adventure and then it reminded me of that child like curiosity that makes them so adaptable.
Watch the video above for the full breakdown.
Hi Vinay,
What an exciting time for any child and a monumental time for any Dad. I remember that day for both my sons with pride and satisfaction. You message is spot on here, Sir Ken Robinson talks about how we educate creativity out of our children and later in work, fear of being wrong, fear of appearing foolish prevents us from embracing change, of creating change, fear of just being wrong. As many people much wiser than I have said, I am never make mistakes, I just learned something new.
Thanks for sharing your pride in your daughter and opening up so personally to us all.
Tom
