I Wish all of you a Happy New Years
I got a call this morning from John who was
bummed out.
He was complaining that he had to work today and
when on and on on how it was unfair.

So John I am sending out this blog to
let you know what the true meaning of work is
and how I feel about work, by the way I am at the
office working and having fun.

When I was a small boy growing up in Detroit
my father would come home every night after
work around 6:30 and before dinner he would  
play with my brother and me before doing
anything else.

We would beg him to stand on his head and
Dad who was in good shape would do a head
stand for us. He loved to stand on his head
like a yogi right in the middle of the living
room.

Every time he did this, coins would fall from his
pockets.

My brother and I would scurry around and grab
as much loose change as we could while my father
pretended to protest, “give me back my money” from
his inverted position.

In truth it was as much fun for him as it was
for us.

My father was the youngest of a family of eight
and being the baby of that family was always having
fun with siblings even into adulthood.

Life for him was about play and having fun.

Dad successfully instilled this outlook of life
onto me and my brother.

Even when we would go with him to work in downtown
Detroit we had fun, maybe even the most fun of all.

The word work and the drudgery that goes along with
it never made any sense to me or my brother because
of this.

People hate to work but they use this word for
stuff that isn’t even work. Did you ever notice
that everywhere it does get used people are really
serious.

Serious people in the gym are Working Out.
For serious training you go to a Workshop.
When you’re serious about beauty you call
it a Work of art. If you’re serious about
your Work they say you have Work ethic.
Some even practice Spiritual Work.

I’ve done my best to work and be conscious
over the years,I really have, but most of
the time I can’t help but
consider how much fun I’m having.

If I’m not having fun or moving to a higher
level of “fun”in the sense of being able to
contribute; making a difference; learning;
growing and to feel that I am  part of a
successful group that is making a difference
in the world, it’s usually not fun and I am
not doing it or at least not for long.

What I’ve learned is that you can’t push
other people to work they are either workers
or not, but you can make it rewarding and Fun.
This gets you and others to be much more protective.
Everyone loves to have Fun.

Sometimes it’s just a matter of reminding ourselves
that we’re having fun.

Try it.

There are many situations that are supposed to be
fun that we often add tension to and they instantly
become serious situations or work.

At these times simply say aloud “This is fun”.

You’ll either break the tension in the room or
you’ll actually change the
orientation of yourself and others from one of
seriousness to one of FUN.

If you saw me doing Recharging Qi Gong with my
students on the beach I doubt you’d say that looks
like a lot of work. It’s actually a lot of fun and
it looks like fun, feels life Fun and it is Fun too.

Big smiles on everyones face and some occasional
laughter is normal.

This is not your usual “Workout” and so far it’s been
producing unusual results in those that have gotten
the program

and started to use it.

If you want more vitality and pep in your step I
encourage you to make a change.
