Work hard, Play harder

What do you do when you are no longer enjoying something you used to love?

Firstly, make sure that's the case. Did you really stop enjoying so and so, or you just forgot how much you love it because every day burdens, life, work, washed away the fun element?

You took up so and so in the first place because you thought it was interesting and fun; remind yourself of that. You know yourself better than anyone, so the best person to get you pumped again, it's definitely yourself. 

But even if you no longer enjoy something you used to love, it's fine, stop worrying about that. We change, our taste in things changes, so it's only natural to drop some things as we grow, it's part of life. 

Secondly, having fun plays a very important part in our well-being, so make time for the things you enjoy, even if they seem silly, weird, childish, or no one else is interested in them; as long as it makes you happy and puts a smile on your face, it's great! Oh, and they should also be harmeless, both towards yourself and others, but for me, that goes without saying.

Thirdly, find like-minded people, so you can have fun (a.k.a. you can be weird) together. To an outsider you might appear odd (and that's putting it nicely), but you will be too busy having the time of your lives to care. 

And, lastly, try to always remember this: the rule is “work hard, play harder”, not “work hard, and if you have any time left, play”.

Until next time,
