The most trouble I have ever gotten into at work was for being happy. Actually, I probably could have gotten away with being happy, but when I combined being happy with being effective and not being a workaholic, I broke too many rules.

Taking a stand for living joyfully in your business and your life will simply be the most courageous act you have ever taken. When you make a decision to infuse everything you do with joy, to define your journey as the goal, you will join the likes of Gandhi, Desmond Tutu, and Tina Fay.

You will cause trouble wherever you go. By refusing to buy into the beliefs that you must be a workaholic to succeed and that fun is frivolous, you will disturb anyone who has chosen a heavy-handed, heavy-footed manner of walking on this planet.

Fun is NOT a Four Letter Word

Your own health and well-being will soar. You will be able to laugh sooner at life’s foibles rather than later. Your brain will work quickly and effectively. Your creativity will explode and your ability to love, forgive and feel gratitude will expand exponentially.

People will start to say things such as, “Must you be so relentlessly uplifting?” They will doubt your sincerity, your sanity, your intelligence, and yet you will skip along transforming hostility into kindness, increasing your abundance in every way, and serving the world. Your purpose will become even more clear and happiness will be The Way You Live instead of a destination you will get around to when you have more time.

You will be your own authority because you will not give your power away to others. Let them think you are making a fool out of yourself. So what? Let them abandon you, despise or defame you – it won’t matter. Of course, we would all prefer constant love and approval. But when we commit to living joyfully every day, we will get to experience the pleasure of sipping approval at dinner instead of the frenzy of guzzling it from a paper sack under a bridge. (Okay, I got a bit carried away there.)

When you find your authentic voice, and you practice the courage to speak your truth into the world, when you are fierce in the kindest way, and you simply never give up, when you find the joke first and are able to fly because you take yourself so lightly, you will be hooked!

All your habits and relationships will transform through the healing power of joy. And you will be dangerous indeed!
