You know, we talked about paying attention.

Well, if you kind of tell yourself, you know, there are useful fictions.

So if you say to yourself, what are the messages that the universe is trying to send me today?

Then you start seeing all kinds of things.

You know, it's also the start of a mental disorder, but...

Also, if you go too far, but there is this sense of it's like, I'm going to be open to what is going to happen today.

And if you go out for a walk or something, it's like you get a hundred million messages, you know, just that sense of, you know, the world is alive and it's trying to tell us something.

Simply putting yourself in that mindset, I think it's amazing how many good ideas you got and certainly like creative ideas.

I just think it's like this really underrated thing that fun is not supposed to be a serious thing, that work is supposed to be really hard and life is serious and serious people have a serious time.

And I just think it goes back to the Bill Murray thing.

It's like, if you're doing things with a sense of lightness and you really have a playful spirit about your work, it's pretty fun, you know?

And I just think that kids,

Know how to fun.

Know how to fun.

I like that.

We'll keep that.

Kids know how to fun.

Not to have fun, but to fun.

Fun is a verb.

I like that.
