Hear Me Universe #94. Plays Hard

“Today is life-the only life you are sure of. Make the most of today. Get interested in something. Shake yourself awake. Develop a hobby. Let the winds of enthusiasm sweep through you. Live today with gusto.”   –Dale Carnegie I believe that how we show up in one area of life is how we show up in all of life.  What motivates part us, motivates all of us. In yesterday’s Blog, #93, the descriptor was, “works hard.” “Plays hard” is its corollary, based upon my observation that people who work hard also tend to play hard. And the tie that binds working and playing hard is gusto. I wanted to attract a partner who lives with an appetite for LIFE—who delights in all pursuits and pursues that which delights. Playing hard embraces the adventure that this life offers. Playing hard means being willing to experiment beyond your comfort zone.  Playing hard means saying “yes” more than “no.”  Whether it’s a hobby or an athletic pursuit, I was calling in a fellow adventurer. What's your favorite way to "play hard"?  How could you challenge yourself to play harder?
