“Neither the landscape —” Nia puckers, “— nor the pannekoeken resemble their models.”

Tal licks pure maple syrup from her fingers. “They were fuuuhnn to maaaaaaake though!”

“Yes!” Cal’s harmony sparkles at the corners of her mouth. “We’re new to both… amateurs… feeding our profession of living and sharing out loud.”

Genius is nothing more nor less than childhood recovered at will.
~ Baudelaire

You, and only you, are ultimately responsible for who you become and how happy you are.
~ Rachel Hollis

“Genius is nothing more nor less than childhood recovered at will.”

~Baudelaire

This is one of my very favorite quotes! But why?

Because, I believe that in life we need a lot more reminding than instructing and this particular quote is a powerful reminder that everything required to be or become whatever we choose need only be recovered from the awe, wonder, and curiosity of our forgotten youth...

Yes, that means it’s already within us and simply requires liberation through rediscovery.

One of the best examples that immediately comes to mind for me is the childhood brilliance of Charlie Mackesy and his commitment to just make his art!

In his book and now Oscar winning film, the boy, the mole, the fox and the horse, there is a line where his character, the boy, asks, “I wonder if there is a school of unlearning?”

On the following page the mole offers a line of wisdom, while speaking to the boy, as they sit together on a tree branch:

“Most of the old moles I know wish they had listened less to their fears and more to their dreams.”

Interestingly enough, Bronnie Ware basically indicated the same thing in her book, The Top Five Regrets of the Dying.

“1. I wish I'd had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me.”

"This was the most common regret of all.”
