I remember reading a quote from Elbert Hubbard. He said "Do not take life too seriously. You will never get out of it alive." It's ironically funny because most of us live our life too seriously. We live our life as if we would live forever. So we sometimes fight too hard to get our success. We forget that we will die sooner or later.
There is nothing wrong with fighting. It will be wrong if the way we fight influences the way we face our life. We take everything too seriously. We don't try to find the humor in our life.
Let me then elaborate how I don't take my life too seriously. In that way, I can really appreciate that I still live.
First thing first, in the morning when I wake up, I will be excited to know that I can still wake up alive.
Then, when it comes to preparing things for my daily routines, I don't rush. I often steal a chance while having my cup of morning coffee to look up the sky to enjoy looking at flying birds.
When I am alone, I usually think about some things. Then I do some self talks. I have a dialog with myself. In the dialog, I often laugh at myself when I realize the content of the dialog.
Crazy, right? But that's the way I enjoy my life.
