I've had it with taking life too seriously

[hanselthecaretaker]

It ultimately goes against the grain, getting you nowhere fast.

Only when you are prepared to lose everything can you ever really be free. Likewise, only when we stop being afraid do we begin to live.

You can take life as seriously as you want and you're still going to die.

Relax and enjoy it as much as you can.

I hate people who take it all too seriously.

I'm just the opposite. I've just begun to take it really seriously because now I'm responsible for someone else. That gives me something to lose, big time.

Nothing wrong with taking life a little seriously. But when you hamper yourself by being over serious about it you perform a disservice on yourself and those in your care. You only get one shot at it so as my anatomy professor used to say before tests: "Good luck, Do well, and above all have fun"

there is a difference between taking life seriously and being a slave to your "fears".

i need to do more of the first and less of the second

Don't forget to take a step back and laugh now and then though.

Oh, I do. I'm a big goofball.

This is true to an extent. But with me taking life too seriously means doing a lot of thinking which manifests all that is wrong with the world and how it can affect/is affecting me and mine, and how I think it could be changed for the better, then realizing how far off that is from happening and etc. etc.
Also, in order to conquer your fears you need to have a plan. Otherwise you are little more than foolhardy.

i agree. as for me and other stuff around me affecting my wellbeing, im just starting a period of trying to be more selfish to see if that makes life better/funner

I'd say the ultimate definition of maturity would be going through life with no hard feelings, leaving nearly as innocent as you came in. There's a lot to be said about peace of mind.

Yeah I've learned the same thing. Analyzing every aspect of a friendship/relationship/etc., as introspective as it may be, can kinda take the fun out of it.

It could drive you crazy, since you'll never really know.

This statement helped me out a lot bro. Nice reading something with true depth sometimes...

This thread as well...this is something I'm trying to do myself. Good luck to you.
