Bringing a childlike wonder
and a beginner's mind to life
maximizes both success and joy.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie
Children are born innocent.
Before they are domesticated they live in the moment,
love without fear, and don't even think about the opinions of others.
- don Miguel Ruiz
Become more and more innocent,
less knowledgeable and more childlike.
Take life as fun -
because that's precisely what it is!
- Osho
Innocence isn't ever lost completely;
we just need to maintain our goodness to regain it.
- Jewel
A newborn does not have worry, or stress, or anger, because they have not yet learned those things.

Buddhists call that state "beginner mind" - an opening to experience life without the jaundiced filter of past disappointments.
