Once we become adults, our lives become a series of events, scheduled
into a routine that can leave little time for excitement and fun. But
I beg you to consider a walk in the evening, a visit to an old mansion
on a Sunday afternoon or an escape to a distant shore where you can
rise early in the morning just to hear the surf hit the rocks.

Oh, these are just a few ideas, but I promise if you take a little
time to think about what would make your life come alive, you could
come up with more interesting ideas than these. Perhaps you would
like to visit the children's wing at your local hospital and clown
around in costume, blowing up balloons and making sick children laugh.
There's always the English Channel to swim across, or maybe your
local theater is tempting you with a lead acting role.

We weren't put on earth just to survive. Most of us have to work to
earn a living, but all the time? We have to live and experience the
wind against our faces like we did as children riding our first bike.
We need to feel the softness of sand surrounding our feet while we
watch a tiny crab disappear in muddy waters. All the simple pleasures
of childhood should still be ours today. There is so much left to
experience, to taste, and to learn.

Living life doesn't have to be complicated. You don't have to
parachute out of an airplane or dive off the top of a mountain cliff
into treacherous waters to feel alive, although you can if you want
to. But there are simple ways to experience life, such as walking your
dog every evening, dancing with your spouse or your children or
listening to your favorite music on top the highest mountain you can
climb.

Get off your computer and take that cell phone out of your ear. You
can create exciting adventures with just a little time stolen from
daily pursuits such as watching the same television shows, complaining
about nothing important, or overeating because it's become a habit you
find difficult to break.

You are the king or queen of your world. Reign over your life with an
edict of fun, adventure and excitement. You'll live longer, lover
better, and you'll be better at everything you do. In short, you'll
become more passionate about life with the realization that it's too
precious to waste, and too valuable to let it slip through your
fingers.

Whenever you're asked the proverbial question, "where has time gone?"
You'll be able to exclaim that you're too busy having fun to notice.
Love your life enough to live it and you'll never grow old!
