Exuberance

Today I had the privilege to watch a youth's exuberance on the tennis court.  What a gift!  It was the highlight of my day.  He was clearly enjoying the game and was non discriminant between teams, cheering everyone on.  His positivity and liveliness was contagious.  Though the other team ended up loosing, I believe it was the most amicable game I have ever witnessed.

This freespiritedness, this exuberance is joy in pure form.  How do you achieve this state?  Good question!

Here are some tips:
1. Win or loose, accept it all equally.  It really doesn't matter in grand scheme of things.
2. Put all thoughts aside.
3. Be in the moment, in the Now.
4. Love life & people.
5. Have fun!  Child like fun in its pure form.

In addition, when you are in that state, others can't help but be pulled into that space.  So not only is there joy in you, but you are spreading the joy. It is like the cup of love that overflows.  :)
