When I was a small boy growing up in Detroit, my father would come home every night after work and entertain my brother and me before doing anything else. We would beg him to stand on his head and my father would always do as we asked. He loved to stand on his head like a yogi right in the middle of the living room. Every time he did this, coins would fall from his pockets. My brother and I would scurry around and grab as much loose change as we could while my father pretended to protest from his inverted position. In truth, it was as much fun for him as it was for us.
My father was the youngest of a family of eight. Being the baby of that family, he was always cared for by his siblings even into adulthood. Life for him was about play and having fun. My father successfully passed this view of life on to me and my brother. Even when we would go with him to work at the pawn shop downtown, we had fun, maybe even the most fun of all. The word 'work' and the drudgery that goes along with it never made any sense to me or my brother because of this. People hate to work but they use this word for stuff that isn't even work. And did you ever notice that everywhere it does get used, people are really serious? Serious people in the gym are Working Out. For serious training, you go to a Workshop. When you're serious about beauty, you call it a Work of art. If you're serious about your Work, they say you have Work ethics. Some even practice Spiritual Work. I've done my best to work and be serious over the years, I really have, but most of the time, I can't help but consider how much fun I'm having. If I'm not having fun or moving to a higher level of "fun", in the sense of being able to share with others, help others or overcome some adversity, I ain't interested. What I've learned is that you can't take other people's work away from them but you can often make it fun. Sometimes, it's just a matter of reminding ourselves that we're having fun. Try it. There are many situations that are supposed to be fun that we often add tension to and they instantly become serious situations or work. At these times, simply say aloud, "This is fun!" You'll either break the tension in the room or you'll actually change the orientation of yourself and of others from one of seriousness to one of fun.
If you saw me doing Recharging Qi Gong with my students on the beach, I doubt you'd say that it looks like a lot of work. It's actually a lot of fun and it looks like fun, too. Big smiles on everyone's faces and some occasional laughter are normal. This is not the usual type of exercise that people do. When you do an exercise program, you want to make sure that it's fun. Let me tell why. If it's not fun, you will not do it and it will fade away quicker than one could imagine. Make your health fun... Make your life fun... And you will have a long, healthy life filled with fun, joy and happiness!
Wishing you the best in your Health, Wealth and Happiness!
