Taking yourself too seriously???

I really had the urge to write something about having fun and not taking ourselves too seriously...I have a feeling that there is a point when many ADULTS (who.?..yes...there we are )start to take ourselves too seriously, we want to be trust-worthy, we get lots of responsibility and we have TASKS to do , both at work as well as at home...And we start to complain both here and there as to mark ourselves of what is right and wrong (blog about judgement coming soon).



Sometimes I wonder if it is because we got ourselves too far away from what used to be our passions and dreams..? What do you think about this subject? Read this as an observation. I don't say that the whole world is like this ...but it DOES EXISTS...When I am working in the field of sports and fitness I believe I hang around lots of passionate people who really DO live dreams, who challange themselves often and who doesn't take themselves too seriously...And when being around those people it really opens up the space :-)



Another reason, I believe, is that we want to be prooooofessional...My question is : can we be professional AND have fun, can we be professional AND not take oureselves too seriously, can we be professional AND be trustworthy, respectful and knowledgable...? The answer is of course YES! I belive those people who balance profesional and fun are the ones who get most out of life!!! Talk about boosting energy if you can work professionally and have fun at the same time!!! Sometimes we get stuck into deadline-stress-meet the goals- and forget about having fun on the way...what about having some fun WHILE working really hard :-)

Oh wow...i feel like a cheerleader today ...I want to cheer you all in having fun , especially at work...Remember , a 4-year old laughs approximately 400 times per day (!!!)...where did that laughter go ...?

A smile opens up all sorts of conversations...exciting...

What s it like at your work? ...in your life?

What I learnt on the journey is : be the change you want to see...

;-)
