Life is meant to be fun

Somewhere along the line we were tricked into believing that life was anything but fun. It was a lie. Life is meant to be fun. It is meant to be lived big and colorful and beautiful.

Not that it doesn't get hard and messy. We don't avoid the hard and mess, we dive deep and then we get back to the fun.

When was the last time you had fun....I mean like soul-filling, my life is perfect, there is nothing I need in this moment, my soul is going to burst, I'm so satisfied fun?

So many of us have gotten trapped into one of these lies:

• Growth is hard, the more painful it is the more I'm growing

• In order to be rewarded I have to work hard, I won't be rewarded for having fun

• I can't make an income unless I'm working hard and sacrificing myself

• I'm an adult, I have to be serious to manage all of my responsibilities, having fun is only for kids

I am here to tell you that none of that is true. In fact, avoiding fun keeps us from growing and being successful. Yes, you read that right, being playful and silly helps us grow and earn an income.

Fun does not equal irresponsible. Somehow that lie got downloaded into many of our brains as well. We can have fun paying bills, grocery shopping and working.

Growth doesn't have to be this gut wrenching painful thing. It can be playful and easy and fun. We don't have to gain our spiritual badges by how much pain we've gone through.

We can be rewarded for exactly who we are, not just for what we do. Your being-ness is more valuable than your doing-ness. What do I mean by that? When you are connected and committed to your creative BEING, what you do doesn't matter anymore. You showing up in your creative wholeness is enough. You don't have to DO anything to be worthy or successful.

When we are connected to our creative self our income and opportunities flows to us with ease. We don't have to work hard for it. Work, in fact, becomes fun and playful when we know who we are.

For most of us we are not connected to our creative self. That space inside of us where we feel whole and complete and safe. Instead we are operating from our defenses, our pretenses and our parental imprinting. All of these tell us we're not safe unless we act in a way that is different than our authentic way of creatively showing up in the world.

For me being fun and silly is the ultimate act of self-love. When I am in that space I know that I am safe and fully in love with my creative self.

When I work with my journeyers we are always moving towards that space of wholeness, of internal safety and security so that play can come with ease. Sometimes it can feel like climbing a mountain before the beautiful summit or turbulence in a plane before arriving for your vacation. It's not that we avoid the things that are not play. It's quite the opposite, we won't ever be able to truly and freely play unless we've done the hard work.

Fun is a bonus of the work we do together. When you create a sense of internal safety and security by connecting to your Inner Wisdom, learning your Body Language and removing the beliefs that hold you back from being your authentic creative self, fun happens. It happens in bigger and better ways that you've ever experienced before.

Are you ready to have fun?
