Sunday Thought: The Child Within Us

I have come to realize that any journey to find happiness in life
leads to the child within us. Reconnecting with that inner child
helps us understand and resurrect our earliest experience of
happiness.

I came across these two thoughts that shed light on this
journey:

Only to a child is pure happiness possible. Later it is
always tainted with the knowledge that it will not last.
--Chinese Proverb

Childhood is not only important because it is the starting
point for possible crippling of instinct, but also because
this is the time when, terrifying or encouraging, those
far-seeing dreams and images come from the soul of the
child, which prepares his whole destiny.
--Carl Jung
