Going through the grind is sometimes a necessary thing, but that can’t be all that you do. If you really want to add some spunk to your life, you’ll need to keep your fun-bucket full. Turning everyday situations into opportunities to learn and grow is what this is about. Start being a better person by having more fun.
This post is part of a 14 part series on How to Be a Better Person. I’ve also super-duper fancied this group of posts up into an Amazon Kindle book. Check it out: Forget Perfect, Just Be Better: 101 Simple Ways to Grow in Relationships, at Work, in Life, and Through God.
1) Drive-Thru Fancy
Some say to fake until you make it. Some say to make it until you break it. I say to go right in and take it! Okay well, not literally.
But think about this for a second. Why do we take pictures of animals at the zoo? Is it to job our memories later? Have evidence of our awesome adventure out? Capture the beauty that’s always flowing in nature? Yes, yes, and yes.
Apply the memory capturing philosophy to your journey to enjoy life more, too. Do you get sad around rich people and their awesome stuff? Or do you bless them and appreciate the evidence that hard work really does pay off?
Drive through the richest and fanciest part of town and just let it all soak in. Check out those awesome topiaries as you stroll by in your car. See how many Lamborghini’s and Bentley’s you can spot. Celebrate the beauty that comes with focused effort and energy.
It’s possible for anyone. You’ve got the proof now.
