“Live life fully while you're here. Experience everything. Take care of yourself and your friends. Have fun, be crazy, be weird. Go out and screw up! You're going to anyway, so you might as well enjoy the process. Take the opportunity to learn from your mistakes: find the cause of your problem and eliminate it. Don't try to be perfect; just be an excellent example of being human.” -Anthony Robbins

I truly believe in having fun. Don't take it all so seriously. Giggle. Laugh hard. Go play. Act like a kid. I have made a commitment to myself to follow my own advice. If I don't enjoy something, I quit doing it. I take this to the extreme sometimes. If I don't have fun doing my job, I find a new one. If I don't have fun with my current exercise regime, I create a new one. If doing laundry today doesn't sound like fun, then I will do it tomorrow. I live this to the highest level, probably to my detriment in a few cases. You might say, well life isn't always supposed to be fun. And, of course, it isn't. People will get sick. Friends and family members will die. I will have to take exams. I will have to scrub the toilet. These are facts of life. But, unhappy, unfun moments won't rule my life or take up the majority of my time.

Barrett and I have seen 3 movies in the past 3 weeks. It's been a blast. We saw Kung-Fu Panda during a matinee time on Friday. We were the only people in the theater without kids. It was so much fun. The kids talked and cried throughout the whole movie, but it was fun to just be seeing a cartoon! It was lighthearted and comedic. Then, on Saturday morning, we got up and drove to Orlando. We stayed at the Gaylord Palms (fantastically amazing!) and went to Universal Studios on Sunday. We rode all the rides and just played all day. I had such a good time!

I hope you find fun throughout your day. It is amazing how good a smile can make you feel. Even if you don't feel like you have something to smile about, just give it a try. I promise you will feel like you're having more fun if you're smiling and not frowning.
