The Magic of Childhood

There is something magical about childhood. Do you remember the pure bliss of flying higher and higher on a swing as a kid? That carefree moment when you could defy gravity and experience pure happiness?Don’t we all wish we could sometimes join Peter Pan in Neverland and never grow up? Walt Disney once said “That's the real trouble with the world, too many people grow up. They forget.”Childhood is indeed a time to be cherished, but the awe and wonder does not have to be lost as we age. Here are seven quotes that help keep us young at heart:

Enjoy the everyday. Celebrate the small successes. Make a friend. Be a friend. Smile. Laugh. Be happy. Spread joy. HAVE FUN!As a nonprofit, a big part of Balance 180’s mission is to use gymnastics to make happiness, fun, and joy available to all children, independent of their ability or financial status.
