Jump in!

It might be the effect of the Olympics, or that the weather has been pretty good, but there's a definite feeling of 'involvement' in the air at the moment. Reminds me of a great quote I found recently - it's been a while since I posted something pithy and inspirational, so here goes!​

Happiness involves taking part in life, not standing on the side-lines and frowning.

There are so many people around who are what I call 'professional cynics' - they've seen it all before, nothing interests or excites them, and they are quite derisive about others' enthusiasm. I believe these sorts of people are missing out on so much, perhaps feeling that it's much easier to stand on the side-lines and sneer, rather than take a risk and get involved.

​So how about jumping in and seeing where it leads. Being part of the game might be more interesting and satisfying than merely watching it from beneath a frown.
