Don’t forget to have fun.

Believe it or not, I’ve had to write prescriptions for people to have fun. I literally had to give them permission through the power of a doctor’s order to remember to have a good time at least once a week.

Why?

Work, kids, life itself can get us into a rut. It happens all the time. Before we know it, days, weeks, months, even years go by and we haven’t done anything we really enjoy. We should always remember to do those things we like because that joy we find is infectious: it spreads from us to everyone around us making the world a better place. Would you want to be around someone who is glum and serious all the time?

You don’t need permission to have fun. It doesn’t have to be a special occasion to have a good time. There seems to be a puritan ethic in America that almost looks down on having fun. It’s almost like people distrust the idea of fun and just stay away from it altogether. I suppose the thought is this somehow makes them better people. It does not.

Joy and happiness are as important to our physical and mental health as any number of exercise regimens or pills. In fact, I think you should have a fun regimen. Once a day for thirty minutes a day, you should exercise your enjoyment muscles and flex your happiness. And don’t let other people tell you what should or should not be fun. As long as your fun doesn’t cause harm to other people, have at it. Your fun regimen will be a very individual thing. Some people need more fun, some less. Some people have goofy fun, some intellectual fun. But never neglect fun time. It is very difficult to be down if you always have something to look forward to.

Remember, always find something in life that you enjoy, and share your happiness with others. It will make the world a better place.

    Я думаю, что Вы не правы. Я уверен. Могу отстоять свою позицию. Пишите мне в PM, обсудим.
