Think back to when you were a kid. We were outside all day, trying new things, being bold and daring (at least in our own minds) and living and enjoying our lives. I know as adults, we have responsibilities. We have places to go, things to do, people to see and bills to pay. I’m not saying we should shirk our responsibilities. Not at all! What we need to do is find a way to capture that joie de vivre we had when we were children. That absolute feeling of happiness and joy. If we can find a way to incorporate that feeling back into our lives, we will in fact be seizing our day and living our lives to the fullest!
