Enjoyment, amusement, or light-hearted pleasure are typically the words used to define fun. Take that in for a moment- when is the last time you really enjoyed doing something? Lately, I have heard many people saying that they are just not really having that much fun anymore, like everything has lost its value. Your time and energy have value, so put them into things that cause you joy. This life is meant to be lived and fully enjoyed. Yes, we all have things that happen that cause our world to shake up, but ultimately, we are the creators of our universe. You make choices every day as to what you do with your time and energy, and who you spend it with. Make sure you are making moments special, even the mundane ones, and start viewing life from a child's perspective, with wonder, innocence, trust, and enthusiasm. Children see and delight in things we often overlook or ignore. They also see the beauty in nature, notice colors and changes, enjoy music, and recognize emotions in others. When children are silent, you can be sure they are watching and listening. That was the way we were before the world got to us and imposed its ridiculous rules that forced us into a box. Break out of the box, but go back to when you were a child and what you enjoyed doing. This can be a sacred place to revisit your youth before the pressure of being an adult in this mainstream society knocked the sense out of you to your core. We must find time to have fun in our lives. Now go, have some fun.
