May 1st: 'Life is an Amusement Park'

The message for this day is the idea that
'Life is like an amusement park where you have to take initiative and go have fun'
.

Overview

Life is the same as an amusement park, and if you just enter and stand there, you won't enjoy anything.

Head toward the places that interest you, line up for the attractions you want to ride, and
enjoy yourself to the fullest even for a short time. It teaches us that this attitude is the
key to enriching your life.

Even if there is a 1-2 hour wait, if you have family or friends with you, even that time turns into

fun memories.

Life is the same; the quality of your experience changes significantly depending on
'how you try to enjoy it'.

Points

■ Those who take initiative are the ones who have fun

Even in the same place, the level of satisfaction is completely different between those who stand still and those who move around.

To improve your luck, it is important to be on the
'active side' rather than the 'waiting side'.

■ 'Waiting time' is also part of life

Long periods of preparation and effort are meant to make the few minutes of the main event shine.

Who you spend time with changes the value of that time.

■ Ways to enjoy change

Depending on your age and position, what you find fun changes.

Even with the same things, there is fun that can only be seen by who you are right now.

It is important to have that perspective.

■ The world expanded by information and connections with people

Enjoying an amusement parkrequires prior information and interaction with others.

Life is the same; the
joy you can encounter through gathering information, seeking advice, and cooperating will expand.

Small practices for today

・Today, try taking just one step more than usual as if you were at an amusement park (e.g., initiating a conversation, applying for something, or asking for advice).

・Don't think of waiting time as a waste; try enjoying the conversation or preparation.

・Add a little bit of “playfulness” to your everyday life.

Life is not a place where someone else entertains you. It is a place where
the scenery expands as much as you walk forward on your own.

“Life is an amusement park”
—just thinking that might make today look a little different.
