When I look back at my childhood impulses, one that stands out was an intense desire to figure out how things worked. That led to me studying theoretical physics in university and to a career in aerospace engineering.
But this impulsive quest took me past conventional physics and engineering, ultimately leading into my pursuit of metaphysics and spirituality. Luckily for me the Inner Child is still alive and well, and it loves this journey!
”Natural attributes show themselves quite clearly in early childhood, for example, when you are allowed greater freedom to do what you want to do … Look back toward the impulsive behavior of your childhood, toward those activities that mostly pleased you.
“If you painted pictures, this does not mean that you necessarily should be an artist. Only you know the strength of those impulses – but if they are intense and consistent, then pursue them. If you end up simply painting as a hobby, that will still enrich your life and understanding. If your impulses lead you toward relationships with others, then do not let fears of unworthiness stand in your way. It is very important that you express your idealism actively, to whatever extent you can, for this increases your sense of worth and power.”
