While waiting in the check out line at my grocery store on Halloween day I noticed the checker had on a silly costume and an even sillier wig. I smiled and then looked around at the other employees to see what crazy costumes they were wearing only to discover that no one else was in costume.
When I got up to my checker I asked him why no one else was wearing a costume. He said at first he was feeling really awkward when he got to work and realized this. But then quickly decided not to let that ruin his day and that's when he chose to believe that the others just didn't have as much fun in their spirit as he did! He also said, "This is who I am. Just someone looking for the fun any chance I get!"
How great is that comment! "Looking for the fun any chance I get." The fact that he was the only one who dressed up and decided not to be intimidated by being in the minority speaks volumes about this person.
How often are you willing to look for the fun and not be intimidated by what others might think? It's not an easy thing to do on a daily basis but I'll tell you what, I've been inspired to follow this person's lead and look for the fun any chance I get no matter what anyone else thinks - especially my Gremlin!
