You may question whether your appreciation for life's pleasures can be equated with naivete today. An innocent outlook coupled with a desire to engage in playful activities can inspire you to take a fresh look at the world around you. Even if others are not entirely supportive of your childlike approach to living today, you will likely feel quite comfortable reveling in the awe you feel when confronted by man-made beauty or nature's wonders. This can be a great time to explore your neighborhood, reexamine a puzzle or hobby you never saw to completion, or revisit your favorite artwork as you may see elements that once escaped your notice.

We can maintain an attitude of childlike innocence without compromising the level of personal integrity we have earned through experience by recognizing that naïveté is not appropriate in every situation. When we understand that we will inevitably find ourselves in circumstances where we need to protect ourselves or acknowledge our responsibility for certain matters, we can more thoroughly enjoy those pleasant periods of life in which an innocent outlook will serve us most aptly. We can stand in awe of the beauty of the world and play to our heart's content without worrying that our youthful mind-set will prove detrimental to our overall development because we are fully capable of articulating our adulthood when necessary. Even though you are feeling somewhat naïve and unsophisticated today, you are still a mature individual, entirely aware of how the world around you works.
