6. Try, Try Again
Just as kids will throw themselves into singing or dancing or whatever it is that catches their fancy, they’ll also keep trying until they get it right without any sense of self-consciousness or self-criticism. Did the tower of blocks they just constructed topple? Watch as they immediately start building it back up. We grown-ups could use some of this attitude ourselves instead of looking for quick fixes or giving up on something when we hit a stumbling block. After all, if our children can patiently re-build that Lego® castle after the family dog deconstructed it, can’t we take the time—and have the confidence in ourselves—to master an hour of Zumba or rewrite the perfect term paper for that night class we’ve been taking?
