About This Quote
Sometimes life gets so serious that it can swallow us up. When that happens, we have to step back and remind ourselves that life is only supposed to be fun. Why are we doing all these things? Is it to get ahead? To win? To impress people? To make them think we’re better than them? We need to take fun back into our lives and quit taking life so seriously. When we do take life seriously, we find ourselves struggling to make ends meet, or stuck in a job where every day seems the same.
We feel like something is missing from our lives, but we can’t quite put our finger on what it is. “Life has become immeasurably better since I have been forced to stop taking it seriously” is very optimistic. It suggests that life can be improved with a simple change in attitude.
