Don’t Take Life So Seriously, It Doesn’t Take You Seriously Either
Taking life seriously is goofy.
Look at us with our grumpy faces, lack of humor, 101 problems, and our desire to “make it” in the world.
Seriously, is there anything more goofy than that?
Sometimes it’s time to look at children for some wisdom.
As a child, the world was your playground and all you wanted to do was have fun and enjoy and make a mess. Sure, sometimes you cried but it was easy for you to snap out of it.
The older you got the more serious you became. Suddenly, there were serious issues to consider. Suddenly, there were more important things than being full of joy and having fun.
Until, eventually, you become a grownup. Now, joy and having fun are secondary to living a serious and responsible life.
If you look around, a good definition of being an adult means realizing that life is not supposed to be fun and joy.
A lot of the seriousness comes from hardened beliefs about life and ourselves.
But perhaps having the flexibility of a brick wall is not a sign of maturity.
Maybe digging your heels in and never looking beyond your one-dimensional view of life is not a heightened stage of development…
