Have Fun!

In my company, I talk to a fair amount of people each day. I have some growing concerns and specifically I see too many people just not having fun in their career and life.

Life is suppose to be ABUNDANT! (abundant of joy, thankfulness, giving, caring, loving, sharing, laughing, and yes FUN!)

Question: Do you have fun? If not, then the good news is that you can change. Do it. It's worth it. It takes much courage and risk but believe me; its so worth it. I did it. You can to.

I lived in a town that was negative (in defense of the town, some of it was circumstance) and worked in a job that was bar none, the single most negative environment that I have ever seen (and I have seen alot of business). My situation took the life right out of me. I stopped growing. I am a positive person by nature but became negative. I was not having Fun! I was,in a sense, dying.

One day, (or August 2006) I read a book called Chasing Daylight by Eugene O'Kelly. If there is one book you had to read in your lifetime, this would be it. The minute I read this book, I wrote in my journal that I was going to make a change. My "Ah-Ah" moment. My wake-up call. My call to action.

So I stopped the madness and got out of the horrible company; looked for a positive place to live that had the "vibe" I was looking for; and started on a new path. With no income, no job, no money, no company, a pregnant wife and 2 year old......we packed up and moved to Austin Texas where we started our company. Most thought and still think I am crazy. I disagree.

I just wanted to start having fun again!
