4-Keys to Having Fun (Part 1 - Curiosity)

(A Special 4-Part Series Exploring the Dynamics of Fun)

Part 1 - Curiosity


“The real trick to life is not to be in the know, but to be in the mystery.” - Fred Alan Wolf, Ph.D.

Beginning with wonder and a willingness to enjoy yourself, curiosity is an aspect of having fun by being open to new possibilities. Ultimately this comes down to choosing to be happy over being right. My good friend Chris Howard speaks of this in his work as a philanthropist for fun and evolution; in that we only need to be willing to ask ourselves, “How can I make this fun?”

Simplicity can’t be overstated with this one! By being open to a new experience and asking the question, “how can I make this fun?,” you give yourself the opportunity to either empower yourself into an original experience or continue to live the same story of the past. When you use curiosity, you begin to write a new story by simply asking such marvel questions and therefore, allowing yourself a chance to have fun.

Get curious and try it on today: "How can I make this fun?"
