starting some fun, on being happy? Well, I want to challenge you to be that person this week. Let me share

0:13.0

a story. I was recently at a barbecue and the hosts had put out a giant piece of plastic that went down

0:20.3

their hill. They had punched little

0:22.4

holes in an old garden hose and hung it between two trees over the plastic and you've got it,

instant water slide. Well, when we arrived, lots of the kids immediately started to slide.

0:34.5

It was amazing. But there was one adult named Chris who ripped off his shirt and he was

0:39.5

all in, sliding down the hill on his stomach, doing flips, everything, you name it. And then slowly,

0:46.6

one by one, the other adults started to join in as well. And I just loved it because he was a leader.

0:53.4

He infected everyone else with his happiness. So that is my

challenge for you this week. Look for a time when you can be the infector of happiness where you can

go and spread your happiness bug to others around you. Maybe it's doing something fun.

brave. Maybe it's quiet. But whatever it is, be that person who gets it started. Kind of like a little

piece of yeast in a loaf of bread dough. It bubbles and bubbles and bubbles and bubbles and spreads and the

1:26.0

whole thing gets lively and fun.

1:28.6

So that is my challenge for you this week.

1:30.6

Be the starter.

1:31.6

Be the happiness starter.

Take care.
