This is Brendon speaking freestyle, recorded in one take without prompter or notes. Post your questions for him below, and he might do an episode answering your question freestyle.

SUMMARY:
--------------------

Fun is not something you “have,” it’s something you generate.

More fun and enjoyment in life are results of greater presence and intention to create fun and joy in all you do. Here’s how to have more fun:

1. Tell yourself, “It is my intention to be present and have fun in this moment.” Most great fun in life comes from an immersion in the moment. In immersion joy arises. In immersion humor can perpetuate. In immersion in the moment and presence in the Now you have access to a greater level of energy and awareness all around you that you can transform into fun.

2. Record the moments of joy and happiness in your life. Many people can’t easily recall the top 10 times they’ve had fun in the last year. It’s not because they didn’t have fun, it’s because they never integrated that fun into their memory and being. They didn’t think about it, reflect on it, journal about it, and so it never stuck in their heads and hearts. If you want fun to be a part of you then you must feel it, recall it, integrate it into your identity.

3. Create a “this brings me joy and fun” list. Do you even know what exactly brings you joy, pleasure, passion, happiness, fulfillment? If you are aware of WHAT and WHO brings those things into your life, then you can have them on a target list to do or be around more often. Also, create a “these things do not bring me joy and fun” list, and immediately stop doing those things so often - delegate them, quit them, transition them, avoid them…but do not do them with regular occurrence any longer. Take command of your life and rid it of passionless things.

I've learned that one of the best ways to have fun is to enjoy the random. Get out of your own head about how things have to be and if they go bad, laugh at it.

I once dropped a noodle into someone's coffee and got yelled at for it... but all I could think was how ridiculous it was to be so worried about a noodle that wouldn't affect the taste of the coffee, wasn't dirty or Grose, it was just there at the bottom of the cup when you finished.

It was something funny, random, (and to tell the truth I did it by accident.) And it was harmless. But some people's immediate reaction is to get upset. My immediate reaction is to laugh at these things. Even if it had ruined the coffee, it's still something to laugh at. Why get upset about such tiny things, why worry about it even if things go bad. Save your cares for when they are really needed.

The way to have fun is by helping others -- service, to others, give -- knowledge, money, material things, support, etc. etc.

[rolxnd]

watching you makes me happy, you're magnetic my good fella

[sugepoola]

i think most people are not having fun because they're having "fun" by other people's standards, getting tagged along to do things that their friend's think is fun, and ect, so what you said about define what's fun for you is perfect! you gotta do what's fun to you!

drugs...

you really changed my life Brendon.Motivational videos are shit they just tell you about goal setting but they really don't talk how to change your mental state. its your videos that guided me how to control my mind to remain happy and focused on my goal..

I remember experiencing a lot fun for a week with my friends in Mexico. I was there for our 20th High School reunion and it was great. We were all happy to see each other again and we had fun for days. After that week the to do lists back at home were a breeze. The mind needs fun. Fun is very healing and the mind needs it. Perhaps our perception perception of fun needs to be re-evaluated. Mine needs to have a close look and be re-evaluated.
