"People may not remember exactly what you did or what you said, but they will always remember how you made them feel.” This was one of the speaking points in a PowerPoint a colleague shared with me from a presentation by Tony Hsieh, the CEO of Zappos.com, entitled “Delivering Happiness.”
In it, Hsieh shared some interesting concepts around incorporating happiness into the business environment and our personal lives. It sounds kind of hard in today’s environment, but I think everyone could use a little fun in their lives these days. Hsieh posed the question, “What if you took 10 percent of your time to do what makes you and others happy — what kind of positive impact would it have on your professional and personal life?”
Like a lot of people, I’ve been reading a lot of Dave Ramsey lately and have been stressing about the economy. It’s easy to get so caught up in protecting what you have that you can forget to have fun. After reviewing the happiness PowerPoint, I’ve began incorporating a little fun in my life on a daily basis. It really has helped me to slow down and enjoy things I often take for granted.
A good laugh or just doing something silly really does rejuvenate the body and soul. I’ve been trying to take more time for fun stuff like playing trivia, Guitar Hero, and just enjoying quality time with friends and family. What do you do for fun or to relieve stress?
