<p>Children are brilliantly in the present.  In many ways, they are fearless.  Fortunately, they have yet to be &#8220;trained&#8221; into being rational or thinking that they can&#8217;t do something.  What would you do if you knew you could not fail?</p>
<p>Can you connect with that fun, courageous, unlimited, powerful and FREE child within you and let go of self-limiting beliefs?</p>
<p>What is really fun about this video is that I didn&#8217;t say a word to my son before we started filming other than, &#8220;Brennan, we are going to make a video.&#8221;  His presence and comments are priceless!  Help make Brennan famous &#8211; share this post with your networks, retweet and please leave your comments below.</p>

He changes so quickly that he is continuously providing me fresh, new content! Being with young children&#8230;really being with them&#8230;is an amazing experience in what it means to live authentically.</p>
<p>There are too many times to count that Brennan&#8217;s natural way of being reminds me of some grand lessons of life and the brilliance of being 100% in the moment of who you are. For your enjoyment, I&#8217;ve picked my top 9.7.</p>
<p><strong>9.7 &#8211; Get excited about life.</strong><br />
Dive into experiences with energy and enthusiasm, as it is often this intention that creates our level of enjoyment and our results.</p>
<p><strong>9 &#8211; Explore &amp; Learn</strong>.<br />
Take time to stare intensely at how a door opens and closes and what makes it work. Become intimately fascinated with new ideas, concepts, experiences and completely immerse yourself in the learning.</p>
<p><strong>8 &#8211; Image isn&#8217;t everything.</strong> <img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-137" title="CIMG1859" src="http://keithobrien.files.wordpress.com/2009/09/cimg1859.jpg?w=300" alt="CIMG1859" width="300" height="225" /><br />
Who cares if you have oatmeal or ketchup or sweet potato all over your face? Did it taste good? Absolutely!</p>
<p><strong>7 &#8211; Make sure you get enough rest</strong>.<br />
Sometimes there is nothing better than a power nap. Making time to recharge your batteries can pay huge dividends.</p>
<p><strong>6 &#8211; Show your appreciation for the things you love.</strong><br />
Clap, smile, high five, laugh, be in JOY, giggle, squawk, scream&#8230;express yourself fully in appreciation for the people and experiences that support your growth and happiness.</p>
<p><strong>5 &#8211; Get over it.</strong><br />
Hurt your foot? Who cares! It seemingly stops hurting if someone hands you your favorite toy. Be in your experiences, connect with them, learn from them and move on.  Getting stuck in the drama of things in the past robs our ability<br />
to connect with the present moment.</p>
<p><strong>4 &#8211; Never take the relationship with your parents for granted.</strong><br />
My son is intimately connected to where I am, what I am doing and what mood I am in. I encourage you to look at how a toddler views his relationship with his parents, how important he feels they are to him and how much he values them&#8230;then answer those same three questions for yourself.  Any difference?</p>
<p><strong>3 &#8211; Believe in your ability to do things you have never done.</strong><br />
Take chances, risk, be bold, be courageous and strive forward with energy and optimism without giving a rat’s ass about what anyone else may think.</p>
<p><strong>2 &#8211; If you aren&#8217;t getting what you want, stand up for yourself. </strong><br />
When a 4 year old isn&#8217;t happy, he&#8217;ll let you know. Now I am certainly not condoning how they go about conveying their message every time, but I applaud their commitment to their goals.</p>
<p><strong>1 &#8211; Be FearLESS.</strong><br />
Walk around the edge of pools when you don&#8217;t know how to swim, play with light sockets, go down stairs at full speed, eat bugs, drink cold smoothies quickly and don&#8217;t worry about the brain freeze, walk up to stray dogs and jump off beds that are higher than you are tall. Seriously though, how many times do we let the fear of something stop us in our tracks, petrified by the outcome we make up in our own mind? Acknowledge your fears and go for it anyway!</p>
<p>Thank you, Brennan, may I repay you with the gift of teaching you as many things as you have taught me over your lifetime.</p>
