Every year I usually have a theme. This year's theme is fun.
Now, I'm not going to stop doing things like paying my rent or getting my eyes checked - yet - I am going to take a serious (yet fun) look at my decisions, what I do and how I fill my time.
Many people will tell you - Just do what you love and the rest will fall into place. What if you're not sure what you love to do or think is fun? As silly as it sounds, not knowing what you like to do is a more common problem than many realize.
During the coming year - I will not only make choices to have fun but also examine to what degree of fun I'm actually having.
I love to take pictures. For the most part I find it to be fun - yet the thought of being told what pictures to take - just doesn't interest me - so a professional photographer is off my occupation list, yet photography does register a certain level of fun. Now, this doesn't eliminate me from getting paid to take pictures or have photography as part of my occupation - it's just the sole focus part that I realized isn't for me.
You might be thinking - Wow, a year of having fun, what's the point of that - don't you usually have fun?
The answer is yes and no. Yes, I have fun - especially when I'm around other people - yet when it comes to being by myself (or some might say with myself), I often falter to responsibility and a default of the not-so-fun.
Somewhere inside of me, I must feel like having fun isn't the road to success, yet another part of me knows fun is the key to unlock my creative door of living.
I'm currently in the process of deciding whether or not to keep this blog or transition it into another blog specific to the year of fun. I'll let it marinate and get back to you. After all, choosing which one will be more enjoyable is the year's theme.
How do you know when you're having fun? What's one thing you can make more fun today?
I'd love to hear your comments and discoveries.
