Have fun

Brian Ngosi

Life can be full of worries and challenges that test your character and attitude.

In between the good and bad times, you need to have fun.

There are many things that demand your attention and can prevent you from having time for yourself.

The problems that you face are numerous and some may not have quick solutions, so you may have to wait a long time before you can relax.

The remedy is to have fun in everything that you do. Don’t wait for a special moment to enjoy yourself, but go with the flow. Make every activity enjoyable by giving your best without getting overwhelmed.

Having fun means letting off steam in the best way you know how while staying on top of the situation. To have fun, you need to control your emotions.

During difficult times, be hopeful that better days will come. During good days, be grateful that you are coping. If you lose control, you will miss the opportunity to enjoy the moment. Singing while doing a task is an example of how to control and enjoy the task.

Make it a habit to find a way to enjoy everything you do. You may not always dance or sing, but find a way to have fun. When you have fun, you will detach from the tedious task and complete it with ease. Your life is more memorable when there are happy moments.

You attract a lot of positive energy when you have fun. Other people will be more willing to join you if you have positive energy, even in a difficult situation. Don’t let your attitude be defined by your circumstances.

The only thing that can change is your mood for a short time. Having fun does not mean being careless, reckless or losing focus. Having fun and being reckless are two different things. You can be responsible and still have fun to the fullest.

Intoxication and immorality are not forms of having fun. They are ways of losing focus in the name of having fun. Having fun means going through your day with more joy and enthusiasm. Having fun is not based on age or gender.

There is no point in assigning certain behaviours to a specific gender. A group of women can chat over a drink just as a group of men can share their stories while doing chores.

Having fun is based on your state of mind. Give yourself the much-needed self-motivation by having fun. Fun is what makes you feel good as you go through whatever you face.

Investing in having fun keeps you accountable for your actions without blaming others. Through having fun, you increase your chances of success by believing in yourself. When you fail, it becomes a learning point that you enjoyed.

Your body takes less strain when you have fun. You may have seen how people sing in a group while running or walking a long distance. The idea is not to change what you are going through, but to do it in a way that makes you smile later.

Fun is not a way of blocking emotions. Singing at a funeral does not downplay the loss of a loved one, but helps the audience accept that life is what it is.

As part of the grieving process, the memories of those who expressed themselves are good building blocks. When it rains, which is inevitable, be brave enough to dance in the rain.

That way, you will endure and enjoy yourself. Free your body and mind to the world of new possibilities by having fun.

Make your life worth living by having fun as much as you can.
