"Is That 5 Year Old Still Driving Your Life"
Is That 5 Year Old Still Driving Your Life, 5 year old driving your life

 VISIT WEBSITE (learn more)

I have read many studies where it is said that by the age of 5, most peoples characters have been created. So what does that mean? For most people, that 5 year old (their "mini me") is still driving their life.

If you stop and think, that is a scary reality. How could a 5 year old possibly understand the best path of actions for a 20, 40, 50 or 80 year old? Yet, it is a reality.

Have you noticed that people you knew when you were younger, are still pretty much the same person? If they were self-absorbed and selfish kids, they are now just older self-absorbed and selfish kids. If they were caring and looking to help others, they are the same (just older).

This reality is why I don't buy into the concept that you are an adult just because you turn 18. In most people, their actions and attitudes let you know that they are still kids.

You know how kids like to gossip and be messy and get into other peoples business. Haven't you noticed older people do the same thing. It's so bad, TV has many shows that prove this point. They are called reality-TV.

Well, reality is people need to stop allowing that 5 year to make their decisions. People need to look in the mirror and start to take responsibility for the their life. Quit participating in thinking like a child. I know some will argue, "the bible talks about being childlike". That is speaking in terms of enthusiasm for life and adventure. Believing any and all things are possible. It is not talking about being "childish". There is a difference.

Starting right this moment, evaluate your actions and recognize who is making the decisions in your life. "Is that 5 year old still driving your life". If so, allow him or her to rest now. Keep their excitement for life, but start allowing the older person to guide the other areas of your life.

It ain't right. It ain't wrong. Its just my opinion.

Your Partner in Success and Life

Hey, there is my friend Annemarie. How are you? Thanks for the feedback. That word "Yikes" definitely describes the way some people think and carry themselves :)
 
Ron "Simplified" Myers   362 day(s) ago
Thanks Steve for your words of wisdom also. For some people, I tell them to just treat me good, because the way they treat themselves, I don't want them to treat me that way - lol
 
Annemarie Berukoff   362 day(s) ago
What a great blog with a hard-hitting reality. Neuroscientists say our brain is 3 pounds..1 pound before birth, 1 pound up to age of 5, 1 pound up to 15 years of age....more or less. Definitely need to stop thinking like a 5 year old or worse yet...like a 15 year old! Yikes!
 
Steve Smith   362 day(s) ago
Very good point Ron, as is said "when I was a child I did as a child.......then I put away childish things. Many times it takes standing back and assessing your emotions and or actions, are we living by the golden rule....Do unto others as we would have done unto ourselves? the world would be a much better place!! Thanks for your words of wisdom1 Steve
 
Ron "Simplified" Myers   362 day(s) ago
I appreciate you stopping by and giving feedback Levina. I agree with you that we all need to be responsible. I believe if we get that step down "responsible", our purpose will take care of itself.
 
Ron "Simplified" Myers   362 day(s) ago
That is funny Kim. In most cases, that is exactly what it is - "an adult day care center". The unfortunate part is most don't even recognize it. They are carrying their baby bottles, pacifiers and sucking their thumbs, but don't see what is wrong :) Thanks for sharing my friend
 
Southwest Day Spa   362 day(s) ago
One of a kind message in here Ron. You're definitely true. We all live with purpose and we all need to be very responsible with every step that we make. Thanks Ron!
 
Coach Kim   362 day(s) ago
This is but one more reason I am excited to work from home because I get to pick my work buddies! I hear stories all the time about how the work place is more like an adult day care center..... no thanks! Go Independent Business Owners - we love our freedom!
 
Ron "Simplified" Myers   362 day(s) ago
Thanks Sue. I appreciate you stopping by and giving your time and energy to my blog. Continued success and prosperity for you also. What's up my man Steven? That is hilarious. We know most start there - lol Unfortunately most keep it and carry those thoughts throughout their life. We know with your help, he will get it and start to take responsibility. Appreciate you stopping by
 
Steven Ackerman    362 day(s) ago
My five year old isn't sure if he likes this post! He want to blame others for his faults because he thinks he is perfect and the world revolves around him. LOL Great article
 
Sue Mitrisin   362 day(s) ago
Hello Ron - I like your perspective of the adult responsibility issue that I agree is all too often a contributing factor in why some people's lives do not seem to move forward. You've shed a different light on this subject and it's a good one! To your continued success and prosperity. Go IBO spirit!
 
Ron "Simplified" Myers   362 day(s) ago
Thanks Andrew. That "Man in the Mirror" is a serious issue :) Most need to visit him or her more. I appreciate it my friend
 
Ron "Simplified" Myers   362 day(s) ago
That is funny Patrick. At least you have moved the marker - lol Thanks for sharing my friend
 
patrick stogden   362 day(s) ago
2 thumbs up Ron. I'd rather let my socks make my decisions. At least they're 7 years old!
 
Ron "Simplified" Myers   362 day(s) ago
Thanks funny Jaymie. How are you Sir? I appreciate your visit and input.
 
Jaymie Johnson   363 day(s) ago
Another great Blog Ron. Always a great read, well my 5 year old will probably stay in control for awhile but I will try and stop him when i can.
 
Ron "Simplified" Myers   363 day(s) ago
What's up Marian? Unfortunately a lot of older people haven't learned the distinction. Thanks to you also my man Dave for taking the time to visit and share.
 
Ron "Simplified" Myers   364 day(s) ago
Hey, there is my friend Carolyn :) You know I enjoy seeing your smiling face and receiving your feedback.
 
Carolyn Coleman-Grady   364 day(s) ago
Hey Ron nice blog, great points. I agree with you. Sharing.
 
Ron "Simplified" Myers   364 day(s) ago
I like that saying Angela. Thanks for taking the time to share and the energy in leaving a comment. It is appreciated
 
Dave Saunders   364 day(s) ago
Very well written and great information for us to contemplate on. Sometimes we need to understand why some people's actions and attitudes are. Thanks for sharing
 
Marian Gurowicz    364 day(s) ago
You make a very important distinction between being childlike and childish.
 
Angela Walker   364 day(s) ago
Hahahaha that is scarey but true Ron. There is also a saying you can bend a tree when it is young mot when it is old so when children are young they need to be developed and trained properly, else their habits might stick with them for life. Good luck ;)
 
Ron "Simplified" Myers   364 day(s) ago
That's funny Anne, but we both know it is true.
 
Anne Long   364 day(s) ago
Good food for thought.. thanks for sharing... it's time to grow up!
 
Ron "Simplified" Myers   364 day(s) ago
Thanks for stopping by and sharing my friend Don. It is always a pleasure to hear from you.
 
Don Sabelhaus    364 day(s) ago
Great article Ron, and I agree with your assessment of the Biblical parable about being like a child, the qualities you mentioned plus the curiosity and creative qualities of a child are what we should retain. TB&L my friend
 
Ron "Simplified" Myers   366 day(s) ago
Thanks for stopping by and sharing Kenneth. By the way, I have tried to congratulate you on being featured member of the day, but the system is not allowing me to. So I will say it here, "Congrats my man on being featured member of the day".
 
Ron "Simplified" Myers   366 day(s) ago
I appreciate the support Carol
 
Carol Brotherson   366 day(s) ago
Interesting, thanks for sharing Ron.
