The inner child wants to explore the unexplored, and venture into the unventured.

Nourish your inner child. Laugh, play, sleep, eat, meditate, repeat.

There is no reason why we should stray from our child-like state, and there is no reason we should disconnect from our inner child.

Our inner child is a timeless being who will continually reside within us until the end of time.

Its voice may have been muffled or unheard, drowned out by the hussle & bussle in our environment and the external noise that is placed upon us.

Your inner child is calling out to you.

Reconnect with your inner child – your brilliance, that part of you who knows that you have a greatness beyond words.

Success is really a subjective thing, so for now, let’s assume it means living a life in accordance with who you truly are. People who fulfill their highest potential are not always the ones you’d imagine: it’s often through a lot of struggle that people come out on the other end better than anyone would have predicted. Being successful is not always a product of just being smart or capable or privileged; it’s also a matter of being aware of what’s *wrong* in your life, having a strong sense of self, and having the desire to change it. Here, the lesser-known (and kind of weird) ways you’ll know that things might turn out better than you think:

1. You’re aware of what’s wrong with your life.

The other side of knowing what you don’t want is knowing what you do. Hypersensitivity to what’s wrong with your life is really just another form of heightened intuition. It’s in the process of building the lives we want out of the ones we don’t that we really fulfill our potential.

One of the most important tools that you can use is community. In any city there will always be a community to connect with, and as an entrepreneur, you need this. There is the community of small business owners, already established, and full of knowledge, right there in your city.

Your community will help you figure out what went wrong or what went right so that they can use this knowledge to their mutual benefit. Here are 5 benefits of having or joining a professional community for entrepreneurs:

Knubbly tweed, snakeskin, cracked leather -- if you think these words describe the condition of your skin more than the composition of a favorite handbag, then you might need to start moisturizing. Even if your skin type tends to be normal to oily, using a high-quality moisturizer on a regular basis can be the key to improving the way your skin looks and feels.

Moisturizing products, which are made to hold water in the skin, often contain humectants and emollients as ingredients. Humectants, such as urea, glycerin and alpha hydroxy acids, work by absorbing water from the air around you. Emollients, such as lanolin, mineral oil or petrolatum, fill in spaces between skin cells to smooth the appearance of rough skin [source: Mayo Clinic].
