Mark Twain said, “Laugh uncontrollably, and never regret anything that made you smile.”
Here is the complete quote. “Life is short, break the rules, forgive quickly, kiss slowly, love truly, laugh uncontrollably, and never regret anything that made you smile. Twenty years from now, you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”
Twain knew that fun was the key to living a fulfilled life.
Without fun …
Your job is just a paycheck.
Your current project is just a chore.
Without fun …
Your lover is just a roommate.
Your kids are just an expense.
Without fun …
Your home is just a to-do list.
Your accomplishments are just a completed checklist …
… not very fulfilling.
Are you having fun?
Have you giving yourself permission to laugh? Uncontrollably?
Are your smiles free of regrets?
