Edward Mills posted the Top 10 life lessons he’s learned from his daughter. I really like what he’s shared, not so much because I’ve analyzed the lessons and found them useful, but because I live the behaviours and found them helpful. It’s easy to support ideas you already agree with than to open your mind to different ideas.

Here’s the 10 lessons:

  1. Tomorrow’s Gonna Be a New Day.
  2. Sometimes it’s Better to Make Up Your Own Rules
  3. Don’t Be Afraid to Show Your Enthusiasm.
  4. Feel your emotions fully.
  5. Walk On Walls Whenever Your Have The Chance
  6. Sometimes you have to do it alone (even if there’s someone right there who could help you).
  7. Know When to Ask For Help.
  8. Don’t be attached to what you painted yesterday (or 2-seconds ago).
  9. Singing Makes Everything Better.
  10. Dance like no one’s watching (even when you’ve made sure that everyone is!)

There’s some good advice in these lessons. Just remember, sometimes there is a fine line between behaviour that is child-like and that which is just childish.
