I don't wanna grow up!

Did you know that the average 5 years old laughs 250 times a day while the average 35 years old laughs only 15 times a day?!!

No wonder when asked: "what do you wanna become when you grow up?", the innocent preschooler replied: " I don't wanna grow up"! He won the first prize on America's funniest home videos. It was a prize well deserved in my opinion. Why on earth would I wanna grow up if it meant losing my zest for life? That's the question that's been boggling my mind lately. Unfortunately, growing up is unavoidable but as I kept thinking about it, I discovered that I can make a conscious decision to grow emotionally not just physically.

I realized that as grown up, I could consciously awaken the inner child within and invite pure joy into my life. I got into the habit of surrounding myself with children and immersing myself into their beautiful world. I decided to lighten up and not take life so seriously. I memorized jokes and funny quotes and shared them with my friends.

I made a committment to laugh 5000 times a day not 15 and I definitely don't mind exceeding that number. The more, the merrier :)!
