I feel totally inspired today by my 4 year old little boy Brendan. We were out sledging on a field near our house, a usual weekend activity at this time of year. My husband (an ex snowboard instructor) was giving a snowboard lesson to a friends daughter. After about 30 minutes of sledging and watching his Daddy showing the young girl the basics Brendan decided that he really wanted a go. He started putting his feet into the bindings of my husbands snowboard and fastening himself in. Of course we had a good chuckle at how cute he was, the snowboard was far too big for him and his feet were so wide apart! 
Brendan insisted that he wanted to have a go so my husband moved him around so he was in the right position. I was a little apprehensive (typical worried mum!) but my husband assured me that he wouldn't go very far before he was sitting on his bum.

So we were completely amazed (and full of pride) to see him sail down the hill with the perfect snowboard stance, completely unfazed by our dog chasing down beside him! 

It really showed me how much we are capable of with childhood innocence and the worries of 'but what if...' that we drag around with us as adults. 

Perhaps we should all try a little harder to shrug those worries off that are preventing us from trying new things and achieving or dreams. Focus our minds with a 'Can do' attitude and who knows we may sail our way through our challenges as easily as Brendan!
