Usain Bolt’s final “moment of glory” by adding more gold medal to his impressive collection, never happened this weekend in London. But the send-off he received from the crowd was one of the most amazing scenes I have seen.
Something that struck me was that so many people, including Bolt himself, said that he not only wanted to perform well, but he wanted to have fun and entertain at the same time.
It showed, and he succeeded on all fronts.
I once heard a nice definition of “fun”: You are having fun when you enjoy both the process and the result. Getting to the result much be as enjoyable as getting the result.
I want to suggest something different this week: Let’s do an Usain Bolt and do our very best to enjoy the week and have fun – and let it show! I am not suggesting that we go as far as entertaining other, but how about entertaining ourselves this week.
Enjoy the process you go through to achieve your priorities for the week. Let’s work with a mindset of fun and enjoyment and many “I choose to” moments, rather than “I have to
moments.
Have fun!
Quote: “While you’re going through this process of trying to find the satisfaction in your work, pretend you feel satisfied. Tell yourself you had a good day. Walk through the corridors with a smile rather than a scowl. Your positive energy will radiate. If you act like you’re having fun, you’ll find you are having fun.” – Jean Chatzky
