Embracing Tottenham Hotspur through a child's eyes

Looking at Spurs with innocent child eyes will bring success

The beauty of a child's positive vision without the negative fear of adults

I listened to a song on YouTube and the lyrics just reminded me of the two types of Spurs fans.

The success-orientated positive fans...

And the failure-orientated negative fans.

The world seen through a childs eyes...

Uncomplicated...

Full of love and kindness...

With no ceiling.

Anything is possible...

Until we try to convince them it isn't.

They continually push their boundaries.

I remember the first time my grandson leapt off the arm of a chair.

You rocked forward several times...

Building up the courage...

Getting over his fear...

And taking a leap of faith.

Something negative fans don't want to do.

For them...

If it isn't instant they give up...

And shout for change.

A failure mentality.

The analogy of viewing the world through a child's eyes encapsulates the essence of boundless optimism and the belief in limitless possibilities.

Life can knock it out of you...

But...

You can find it again...

If you embrace self-development.

If you trundle through life...

You won't.

If you have stopped learning...

You won't.

It is the domain of positivity...

Of winners.

Through A Child’s Eyes Lyrics

Through a child's eyes
The world aglow
Every leaf a story
Every stream a flow

Laugh ripples where the sunshine stays
In their gaze, hope lights the way

Though the world may seem to falter
They believe in love that won't alter

Through a child's eyes
We see it clear
A world of beauty
Free from fear

With open hearts
A brighter guise
We'll find our way
Through a child's eyes

—

In their dreams, no walls arise
Just endless skies and starry ties

Their hands hold kindness, warm and true
A gentle spark that can renew

Even in moments of shadow
Their vision leads where hope will follow

Through a child's eyes
We see it clear
A world of beauty
Free from fear

With open hearts
A brighter guise
We'll find our way
Through a child's eyes

—

If we could pause and see their view
A tapestry of life so new

The path to peace no longer a blur
Through them we learn what truly endures

Through a child's eyes
We see it clear
A world of beauty
Free from fear

Here with open hearts
A brighter guise
We'll find our way
Through a child's eyes

—

And when the stars descend to rest
Their light reminds us we are blessed

Through their vision, love will rise
Together we’ll heal
Through a child’s eyes

Embracing the Childlike Perspective

Children approach the world with an innate sense of wonder and fearlessness. 

They see challenges as opportunities, not obstacles. 

The same speak successful people use.

My grandson's hesitant yet determined leap off the chair's armrest exemplifies this beautifully. 

He confronted his fear...

Gathered courage...

And took a leap of faith...

A vivid metaphor for the resilience and belief required to achieve greatness.​

The Dichotomy Among Spurs Fans

This childlike optimism mirrors the attitude of success-oriented, positive Spurs fans. 

They understand that building a triumphant team is a journey, replete with highs and lows. 

They remain steadfast in their support, believing that persistence and faith will eventually lead to success.

Two of the success traits that Napoleon Hill discovered when interviewing 500 of the most successful people​.

Conversely...

Failure-oriented, negative fans often lack this enduring belief. 

For them, setbacks are insurmountable, leading to immediate calls for change. 

This reactionary mindset can foster instability, hindering the very progress they yearn for. 

As noted in discussions about Tottenham's managerial changes, constant instability creates uncertainty and erodes trust among players and staff, emphasizing the need for purposeful, not reactionary, change.

The Power of Patience and Belief

Great achievements, both in football and life, are seldom instantaneous. 

They require patience...

Unwavering belief...

And the courage to persevere through adversity. 

Just as a child learns to walk by stumbling and rising repeatedly...

A football club's path to success is paved with trials and errors.​

The Power of Positivity

"In their gaze, hope lights the way
Though the world may seem to falter
They believe in love that won't alter"

Children possess an innate optimism, believing in endless possibilities despite challenges. 

For Spurs fans, adopting this mindset means supporting the team wholeheartedly, even during tough times. 

Instead of dwelling on setbacks, we can choose to focus on the potential for growth and the promise of future victories.​

A Call to Spurs Fans

As supporters of Tottenham Hotspur we should channel the optimism of a child. 

A coach looks at each match as an opportunity (immediate or foundational)...

Each setback as a lesson...

And each victory as a step closer to a collective dream. 

That should be how we support too.

By fostering a culture of patience, belief and unwavering support, we contribute to creating an environment where success is not just a possibility but an inevitability.​

In embracing this mindset, we not only enrich our experience as fans but also empower our team to reach the heights we all aspire to.
