I asked a group of 6 year olds to come up with a mantra to help us through life.
They had some ideas.

Rory - "Don't stop running"
The other day I grunted when picking up my keys from the table. If I didn't stop running, i'd die. Rory has gone for the Forrest Gump approach here. It seemed to work for him. Forrest that is. I've seen Rory run into multiple trees. Persistent tho.

JJ - "Only be friends with people who you want to be friends with"
This gets forgotten about in adults. Sometimes we are friends with people out of convenience or history. Look around and ask yourself, "does this person positively impact my life?". JJ has his head screwed on.

Jack - "You might told off but sometimes you're not doing anything wrong"
His anti-authority attitude is refreshing as it is scary. He's right tho. Fight for what you believe in and it's never wrong. Although Jack believes he can back flip over a lorry, so I don't know.

Ravi - "Some people don't have anything so be happy you have everything"
We truly are in the presence of greatness. There are world leaders without this clarity. Step back and look at what we take for granted, you'll be amazed. Ravi elevates people around him. He's a special lad

Lola - "You can't swim in a sink but a bath is just a big sink"
I believe she's talking about perspective. One person's baby step is another's giant leap. Lola moves at her pace and is proud of the people around her moving at theirs. Otherwise you'll lose a one horse race.

Emma - "The people who don't talk, still have something to say"
Empty vessels makes the most noise. Emma is quiet and has grown in confidence since I've known her. She is an advocate for letting people be themselves. A true woman of her time. She'll make an excellent leader.

Belle - "Flowers live in the ground, we live in a house. Everyone lives somewhere"
It's a huge, overwhelming concept to think every individual lives an equally complex and rich life as you. Knowing that everyone is coming from something make you see we're all the same. One team.

Mikey - "Mud hills are fun but also muddy"
I'd never heard of the term "mud hill" but I assumed it's a hill, that is muddy. I was wrong. Its basically a pile of mud mashed up and used to throw at cars or people...So if you see a boy holding a mud ball with a devilish grin, run.

Zahra - "Some things are cool and some things aren't"
There is no messing about with Zahra. A woman of precision. She wanted to add that if you find things cool, then it is. Which in itself is a pretty cool thing to say. If you enjoy something, don't let other bring you down.

Susanna - "Don't start a fire in a forrest"
I take this as, understanding your situation and objectively being able to know what is benefitting you and what isn't. But Susanna confirmed that there is no subtext. Just don't start fires in forrests because it goes whoosh, okay.
