“People rarely succeed unless they have fun in what they are doing.” – Dale Carnegie

~

It is simple enough, and even on face value the truth in it is clear.

~

However, we could talk about ‘fun’ here and what it means to different people…  as there is of course a personal component to it.

~

For me, something has to have real meaning or deeper significance to really be ‘fun.’   It has to be something I deeply believe in.  It has to be of value.

~

Saving the world, for example. Now that is fun!

~

I am not particularly fond of traveling, but if it has a purpose… a mission, well now, that makes it great fun.

~

I am no good at small talk, but I love people.  For me, to have fun with others means to share a purpose.  To sit around and chat to me feels like a waste of time.  To be shoulder-to-shoulder doing something of real value together, like building an enlightened city, is fun and something I never tire of.

~

Some may feel that I am not very social or available and I imagine that is true if it means small talk.  On the other hand, if I see a purpose or a real value to what we are doing together, I am right there for however long it takes.

~

There is no absolute value here that I am trying to impose upon others.  I am just sharing a bit about myself.

Thanks for listening.
