Fun

The next principle is the principle of good wholesome fun. Fun can be many things. Fun can be experiences with the family, with friends, or even an activity on your own. You can read a book or garden alone. Gardening is NOT fun for me, but I hear some people enjoy it. Kudos to them.
Case in point: I just got back from a family reunion, which was fun for me. Whatever it is for you, it is my belief and my philosophy that we need time to get away from our cares. Even if its just for a little while, we need time to help us regenerate for the next battle in life that we face. While it may be something as simple as playing a prank on a friend(all in good fun of course), or it may be going out to eat somewhere fun, or in other words it can be something you wouldn't normally indulge in. For me this is Legos. This is my hobby and what I do for fun.
I believe this is a key principle to success and satisfaction in life for most people. If we can find what it is for us, no matter our circumstances, we will be much better off.
