The Necessary Pursuit of Fun
Fun is a choice. It’s tasting the experience to the utmost. It’s being present and letting some unnecessary shit roll of our backs
The purpose of life is to live it. To taste experience to the utmost. To reach out eagerly and without fear for new and richer experiences.
– Eleanor Roosevelt
For the last few years, my wife and I have participated in a 5K-a-Day program to help raise money for the Teaching Tree Early Childhood Learning Center in Fort Collins, CO.
There are a few really cool aspects to this challenge. First, it happens every June so the challenge pushes us outdoors at the exact time when being outdoors is just awesome. Second, it allows us to spend a lot of good time together walking, talking, and enjoying being outside together. Third, it raises money for a good cause we care about. And finally, it gives us an abundance of time to get caught up on audiobooks and podcasts.
Today, I was listening to the Ed Mylett podcasts. If you haven’t tried Ed Mylett’s podcast, I recommend it. He interviews some of the best and brightest, and all of his content will get you thinking about how you can be a better version of yourself.
