Isn’t it amazing how much fun life is for kids?

They are in constant bliss.

Everything is a joy.

I was walking along the beach earlier, looking around.

I saw these kids build this amazing sand castle. They were having so much fun.  I just wanted to jump right in and play with them.

(The problem is, their parents would’ve probably thought that I’m some really creepy, weird guy wanting to jump into a sandbox and play with their kids.)

The waves were really high and they would come up very close to where I was walking. In front of me, little kids were jumping in and out of the water and screaming their heads off in happiness.

Later, I went to the mall to grab a bite to eat.  A small group of children were staring in deep amazement at a fountain. Their eyes would follow the water as it shot up in rhythmic spurts. They were transfixed––totally caught up in the beauty of the moment.

Isn’t it time that we learned from these little guys? We should all work to become an adult kid.

Just have fun.  Look at the waves like you’ve never seen them before.  Look at a fountain like you’ve never seen it before.  Dig a hole in the beach and just have fun.

I remembered a boot camp that I had in LA years ago.  One of the exercises was to dig a sand castle and then go down the beach and find women to come and evaluate it. Advanced steps were to then get the women to come and actually help build. You’d be surprised at how many of them joined in!

It’s about being childlike and enjoying life.

Who would you rather be around: somebody having fun or somebody standing in the corner with their arms folded?

Life is too short to be miserable.

Dig a hole in the beach.  Stare at a fountain.  Jump in the waves and become a kid again and you’ll start to see how many more people you attract in your life.
