Don’t try to be perfect; just be an excellent example of being human.  Tony Robbins

Oppenheim

Find fun in the normal, everyday things

• Every normal function of life holds some delight. Will Durant
• Extreme fun is, well, extreme. Fun that is so much fun that we are willing to risk life and limb to taste it, even if only for a second. It’s the fun of sky diving, bungee jumping, rock climbing, snowboarding.  Ordinary fun is the chewing gum kind of fun, even the washing dishes kind of fun that comes with the warm water and emerging sparkle and the meditation-like expanse of timelessness that ends when the sink is empty.  The problem is that it’s the extreme kinds of fun that get all the press.  That’s the kind of fun that soft drink commercials are made of.  The other, the ordinary kind of fun goes for the most part unnoticed, barely felt.  Which is precisely why so many of us think that we aren’t having fun.  Which is precisely why so many of us really aren’t having fun–because even when we are, we think we’re not, if you know what I mean.  So we need to take back the fun that we are given on a daily basis: the fun of crunchy cereal, of cold milk and hot coffee, of birdsong and dog wag, of smiles and waves, of warm blankets and light reading, of bringing someone breakfast in bed, of holding someone, of being held.  Bernie DeKoven

Balance work with plenty of fun

• There’s time for fun, and there’s time for work. The relationship between the two seems to be a pattern within all natural systems; you can feel it in your gut whether you’re on or off track.  When your life is all fun and no work, you feel unclean somehow.  When it’s all work and no fun, you’re out of balance and hardly of use to anyone.  In fact, it’s because the problems of the world are so serious that we need to do whatever it takes to lighten up sometimes.  One of the ways you know you’re in the flow is if you’re seriously of service and seriously enjoying yourself at the same time. It feels right because it is right.  Marianne Williamson
• There is no pleasure in having nothing to do; the fun is having lots to do and not doing it. Andrew Jackson
• Live and work but do not forget to play, to have fun in life and really enjoy it. Eileen Caddy
• Balance

.

Balance discipline and focus with plenty of fun

• While ideas such as discipline and focus are undeniably important, so is the idea of having fun. With a small amount of effort, we can extract all the fun and joy out of most parts of our lives–our relationships, our work, even our leisure time.  We can put so many restrictions and should’s on everything we do that our very lives become dull, overly ponderous, and routine.  Before long, we find ourselves living up to a set of rules–and we’re not certain where the rules came from or whose they are.  Let yourself go.  Have a little fun with life.  Or, have a lot of fun with life.  If you’ve spent years being extremely disciplined, reliable, and sombre, maybe part of achieving balance is having a decade of fun.  Melody Beattie
• You must have discipline to have fun.  Julia Child
• Self-discipline,  Focus
