The greatest day in your life and mine is
when we take total responsibility for our attitudes.
That’s the day we truly grow up.
John C. Maxwell
Does anyone “truly grow up”?
I think there is always a part of us that is a child.
I know that I am not truly grown up.
Sometimes I am a perfect brat!

Well, perfection in some area is beneficial!
Thank you. I wish I had thought of this comeback when my mother would call me a perfect brat.
Well, Bill has always called me Brat. I do have a very active Inner Child, however, she behaves well. She just tends to find joy in silly things, like Snoopy and Woodstock. Hugs!
Good for you! We must allow our child within to express the joy of innocence or we lose the true beauty of who we are. My inner child is a good girl but a rebel…I kinda like that.
I don’t want to grow up…not in every aspect.
I agree!
A perfect brat… I can be that here and there. I hope we don’t truly grow up… the little kid in me keeps me going when nothing else will sometimes.
I understand the little kid within that keeps you going. Without it, life is too hard. We need the carefree fun of children to keep us honest.
I think the child in us is a reminder of what it means to grow up and take responsibility. I don’t consider myself totally grown up either. I’m always work in progress.
Work in progress…a good thing. If we are finished then we are dead.
Yep, you’re right.
Hubby has it sussed: Act your shoe size.
There’s always a little bit of child left in us………… it depends on your definition of ‘little’. Have a great weekend!
It is important not to let the child in us wither away. Without that bit of innocence, life would be a trudge every day.
