Fun…the great lubricant that makes everything in life easier. Ever notice the difficult and downright painful things kids do…when they’re having FUN? Fun helps us focus on the positive, ignore the pain and overlook the difficulty of doing something.
FUN is a motivator that gets people to do things they otherwise wouldn’t…or couldn’t do. FUN is magnetic….it draws people to WHEREVER there is fun WHOEVER is having fun. Everyone wants a piece of the fun. Best of all. FUN lubricates things. FUN eliminates friction between people. FUN makes time pass more quickly when doing the difficult things that SUCCESS requires. FUN attracts people to you. FUN puts people in a positive. Enthusiastic… “YES” Mood!
So where does fun come from? Fun…comes from thinking positive…focusing on the good and ignoring the bad. Every sport involves ignoring the pain, long practices, conditioning and focusing on the fun (the positive) aspects of the sport. Golf, a fame of 90% frustration and failure, draws people back because of the 10% which is positive and FUN. Fun comes from focusing on the good, the enjoyable, the positive and ignoring the uncomfortable, the difficult, the painful, the negative. Fun comes from thinking positive…which is why positive thinkers always have more fun.
In the early years of the Company, Dennis and I observed that people who were having fun in their career were successful and people that weren’t having fun failed. Most people think that success comes first…then FUN. However, we observed the reverse. Those people who DECIDED TO HAVE FUN FROM THE START… WERE ALWAYS SUCCESSFUL IN THE END. We realized the following : IF YOU”RE NOT HAVING FUN…. YOU’RE DOING IT WRONG. We realized that fun is a lifestyle …a way of living… an approach to your job…a way of life… a way of thinking…the result of a DECISION to focus on the positive in life.
So… DECIDE TO HAVE FUN… ADOPT A FUN STYLE… it will make you day easy, productive and PROFITABLE!
P.S. Enclosed is a 3X5 card with the success formula on it. Review it at the beginning and end of each day. It’s your game plan for your career… and for any other area of you life in which you want to achieve success.
If you’re now having FUN you’re doing it wrong!
