I don’t like being serious. Well, I mean, I do, but not ALL of the time. Do you ever notice how absolutely boring it can get to be constantly serious and mature and unimaginative? As we get older it seems that we lose our sense of curiosity and become inhibited and far too self possessed.

Why is it that these moments are far and few in between? It must be because life gets more complicated and there is increased responsibility and consequences for our actions. While I won’t suggest that we throw caution to the wind in the pursuit of having a child-like nature, I will say that we all need to incorporate more whimsy into our lives. Here are some ways to start doing that today.
