7 things fun people know that you don’t

Some people seem to have fun every day, no matter what, rain or shine.
Seemingly unphased by anything. Ever.
What do these unicorns know that the rest of us on-edge, waiting-to-be-triggered souls don’t?
It’s excruciatingly simple.
Which is super triggering, I might add.
Wait for it:
They stay true to who they are, and they never leave their inner kiddo behind.
They answer yes or no questions, truthfully
Yep. It’s not about saying “no” to what you don’t want to do and “yes” to what you do, it’s just about knowing the answer you want to give and just giving it.
They give the answer that makes them feel at peace-the one that they won’t regret the second it eeks out, and never the one that makes them feel like they just got cornered.
They carpe (the freaking) diem
Time is a-wastin' and that isn’t lost on these fun lovers. They don’t put things off or wait for a better time. The time is now and they live each day on 10.
They understand better than most that all you can really count on is today.
They focus on their own sandbox
There’s no reason to look at what anyone else has going on, what they’re doing, what they’ve done, or what they own.
People that live life on their terms live the phrase “you do you”. They focus on their goals, what matters to them, and by doing that, they have time for the things that matter to them and don’t worry about things that don’t.
No matter who asks them, no matter who guilt trips them. No means no.
They get out of their comfort zone. Often.
Boredom is not an option for these rockstar life livers. Routines are for cowards may as well be their motto, so trying new things and being game for anything is par for the course.
Fun is the goal, so how can anything be disappointing if you commit to that?
They may or may not have a plan
It’s not required for anything to be set in stone for them to start the car. They’re fine just going and making it up as they go.
To them, that’s half the fun and it means they’re always ready.
They believe in being spontaneous, taking spur-of-the-moment trips, and having last-minute get-togethers.
It doesn’t stress them out.
So cool.
They value their own time
These people respect their own time and appreciate the value of this one precious life they’re given.
You can bet they aren’t squabbling it away on social media, having small talk, or doing things they don’t enjoy.
They cherish every moment and squeeze out every last bit of every minute.
They aren’t driven by guilt
Family obligations, holidays, and traditions are usually sources of guilt and anguish for many people.
This isn’t to say these fun lovers just ignore tradition or disregard family, but if that family event lands on a day that coincides with something else, guilt doesn’t drive them to their decision.
They may end up going to the family event once they evaluate, but it’s because they chose to do so.
Guilt is not a reason for them to do anything.
They believe life is too short.
We could all learn something from these fun-loving souls, out there living their glorious lives.
If you want to live a fun life full of things you love and almost nothing you don’t, then make your own choices, don’t burden yourself with irrational guilt, and always put a high value on your time.
Now that’s not so hard, is it?
