When we talk about pulling others into our reality, we should look at kids. The average kid is energetic. Excited. Always ready to learn. Children do what they want for the sake of doing so, unrestricted by logic or a strong sense of values. This is partly because kids are still building on their values and standards.

Whenever I see a child in front of me, on a bus or a subway, I take a moment to reflect and learn how they think an act. We always talk about pulling others into our reality but kids naturally do so, simply because they don't care for other's opinions on them. Their mothers could scold them or make funny faces at them from across the subway seats but in any event, children pull others into their own reality incredibly well. A quote I read on Facebook summed it up really well: "I don't care how old you are; when a kid hands you a toy telephone, you answer it."

It's a natural process to build standards and values for ourselves. Our likes and dislikes pave the way for our future selves. However, learning often involves breaking down those barriers. That's what keeping an open mind is. Though it might not be a good idea to go to the outright extreme of acting like a child, we should all consider the kids when we practise with pickup. Because in the end, we all love kids; some people are just too insecure at the time to realize it.
