Are you having fun?

I know it’s a broad open-ended question, so allow me to narrow it down for you.

Are you having fun in the work you do?

While fun and work might seem contradictory, there are ways to infuse your work with fun.

I understand work is a serious matter and that some jobs require a more serious approach than others, but there’s always an opportunity to add some fun or levity to your work. And while your work might not present you with openings for fun, you can bring fun to it.

Fun is a state of mind. It’s an attitude, a perspective that can you generate within you. It’s the ability to acknowledge and understand that you do have commitments and responsibilities, but you choose to view them not as a burden, but as an opportunity, and that’s where the fun begins.

Look, I know life is serious and that apparently there’s an unwritten rule that after a certain age you have to be and act with a level of maturity, and that’s all well and good, but what’s the point of going through life without any enjoyment. Or waiting for weekends or some other specific time that’s designated for fun.

Having fun doesn’t mean you have to clown around in public or play the fool. All it means is that you bring some moments of enjoyment or pleasure to your everyday activities.

So, never forget, it doesn’t matter how old you are, or what you do. You have a choice between how serious you want to be and how much fun you want to have. And I hope you choose to have some fun today and every day.
