If you ever feel as if life has lost it's luster and it's just not that much fun anymore, consider the possibility that perhaps you stopped living it some time ago. Do you really want to get to the end of your life and feel as if you missed out on living? No, I didn't think so. I know you've been wanting to have more fun and feel as if life isn't passing you by.
Once we become adults, our lives become a series of events, scheduled into a routine that can leave little time for excitement and fun. But I beg you to consider a walk in the evening, a visit to an old mansion or an friends place on a Sunday afternoon or an escape to a distant shore where you can rise early in the morning just to hear the surf hit the rocks.
Oh, these are just a few ideas, but I promise if you take a little time to think about what would make your life come alive, you could come up with more interesting ideas than these. Perhaps you would like to visit the children's wing at your local hospital and clownaround in costume, blowing up balloons and making sick children laugh.
There's always the Beach to play around, or maybe your local theater is tempting you with a lead acting role.
We weren't put on earth just to survive. Most of us have to work to earn a living, but all the time? We have to live and experience the wind against our faces like we did as children riding our first bike.
We need to feel the softness of sand surrounding our feet while we watch a tiny crab disappear in muddy waters. All the simple pleasures of childhood should still be ours today. There is so much left to experience, to taste, and to learn.
Living life doesn't have to be complicated. You don't have to parachute out of an airplane or dive off the top of a mountain cliff into treacherous waters to feel alive, although you can if you want to. But there are simple ways to experience life, such as walking your dog every evening, dancing with your spouse or your children or listening to your favorite music on top of the highest mountain you can climb or even going to the club or parties with your friends.
Get off your computer and take that cell phone out of your ear. You can create exciting adventures with just a little time stolen from daily pursuits such as watching the same television shows, complaining about nothing important, or overeating because it's become a habit you find difficult to break.
You are the king or queen of your world. Reign over your life with an edict of fun, adventure and excitement. You'll live longer, love better, and you'll be better at everything you do. In short, you'll become more passionate about life with the realization that it's too precious to waste, and too valuable to let slip through your fingers.
Whenever you're asked the proverbial question, "where has time gone?" You'll be able to exclaim that you're too busy having fun to notice.
Love your life enough to live it and you'll never grow old!
