This Is the World’s Best-Kept Secret That’s Living Inside You

It’s mostly hidden in the hearts of everyone, but no one even acknowledges it

I’m 12909 days old.

That’s 35 years and 126 days old.

I’m old enough to tell you a secret.

World’s best-kept secret!!

This secret is pulling us away from our most natural skill of being a creative individual, as it brings a bag of downsides —

- we suppress our curiosities. - we suppress our truest selves. - we care too much about what other people think.

The secret is — “Nobody feels like an adult.”

My father is 66 years old and yesterday he was dancing in front of the TV after India’s win against NZ in the World Cup.

- we’re all kids from within. - we’re just suppressing our kiddish instincts. - we’re just conditioned into behaving this way.

We pretend to be adults and then one day, we forget that we were pretending.

I’m grateful for such moments that allow us to be kids again.

Being a creative professional is one such blessing. Let that inner kid out in the open occasionally and let it teach you how to live a happy life.

Till then, let’s start by acknowledging the pretense.

Key Message — One chance you get and you’ll turn into a kid. You’ve been trained to behave like an adult, you don’t want to be one. Save that child inside you — that’s where your real happiness lies.
