19 Life Lessons You Need To Learn From This Adorable 4-Year-Old Adventurer

Japanese photographer Kotori Kawashima snapped his friend’s four-year-old daughter as she adjusted to her new life in Paris after her family relocated. We think this little girl’s positive attitude could teach us adults a thing or two, so sit back and absorb her awesome wisdom.

#1. Throw yourself into new things.

#2. Make new friends.

#3. Try new things.

#4. Some you will really, really like. A lot.

#5. Some you won’t be so sure of.

#6. If the opportunity arises, get cozy and take a damn nap.

#7. Play in the snow when it’s cold.

#8. Play in the sand when it’s warm.

Bonus life pro tip: Clashing gingham will never go out of style.

#9. Break the rules.

#10. Find ways to nap AND break the rules.

#11. Always have a puppy nearby, preferably on your head.

#12. Throw strops. You’re only human.

#13. But then smile for the camera because it’s not so bad, really.

#14. Be curious. Try to touch the rainbow.

#15. Become one with nature.

#16. Find perspective in high places.

#17. Avoid bathtime. It sucks.

#18. Let your nose run.

#19. And always let your love shine through.

Even for concrete posts.
