Enjoying a Life of Being Pushed Around—How to Have a 'Playful Spirit' as Taught by April 30th

Getters Iida has woven together a book of words
tailored to the 365 days of the year, titled
'Getters Iida's 365 Days of Uplifting Words'.

It is a book that gently reminds us of important things we
tend to forget in our daily lives. I would like to

gradually put into words the insights I have gained from this book.
At the start of each day, I would be happy if you could read it as a way to lighten your heart.

Message for April 30th

'It's fine to be happily pushed around'

The theme for this day is the perspective of
how to accept the events in life where we are inevitably
'pushed around'.

Work, relationships, and unexpected events—we live our daily lives while being pushed around by various things.

However, whether you view these as 'difficult' or
'interesting' will greatly change the quality of your life.

■ The idea of enjoying being pushed around

When we hear 'being pushed around,' we tend to have a negative impression. However, the message for this day is a little different.

You might as well enjoy being pushed around itself.

By thinking this way, your perception of the same event will change significantly. Things that become painful the more you resist
can sometimes become lighter
when you accept them.

■ Finding your own way of 'being pushed around'

The important thing is not just to be swept away.

It is to choose for yourself 'how to be pushed around.'

Depending on your approach, the quality of the experience changes even in the same situation. By
finding your own way to enjoy and face things, the days you are pushed around will gradually
become more comfortable.

■ If you choose it yourself, it becomes play

If you are pushed around passively, you will inevitably get tired.

However, if you have the mindset of
'going out to be pushed around yourself', it turns into
“play”.

Even with the same event,
whether you are being proactive or not makes a huge difference in the burden on your heart.

■ The Perspective That Life Is Play

“Life is play, work is play, and play until you die.”

These words offer a hint on how to relax a little.

Taking things seriouslyand having a playful spiritare not contradictory. In fact, it is precisely because you have a
playful spiritthat you can
gently accept difficult situations.

■ So, It Is Okay to Be Pushed Around

Trying to control everything makes life painful.

Sometimes, you can just let yourself go with the flow and choose to
“enjoy even being pushed around.”

Be flexible and lighthearted. And have just a little bit of a playful spirit.

Such an attitude may ease daily stress and, as a result,
align your fortune.

May today be an opportunity for you to feel just a little bit lighter.
