Show by Lewis Howes

Your inner child saw the world with wide open eyes, and some part of you still misses it.Check out the full episode: https://greatness.lnk.to/2001DMRobert Greene, author of multiple bestselling books, told Lewis that a young child gives about 90% of its attention to the world and only 10% to itself. By adulthood, those numbers flip to 98% on yourself and 2% on everything else.Robert explains that the adult brain runs on inhibition, filtering out color and noise so you can get through the day. A baby has almost none of that filter, so a pet or the sky feels like pure enchantment.He calls that child your lost self. You once knew that open mind, and he believes losing it is making you miserable without you even noticing.Next time you step outside, look up from your phone and notice one thing as if you are seeing it for the first time.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
