What beliefs can cause a person to not take life seriously?

scorpio1980 · 10-13-2010, 07:24 AM

Some people have a deep down belief that they are not good enough so they just don't try.

Grandiouse · 10-13-2010, 08:23 AM

I think people who learn not to take life too seriously have developed a confidence in themselves and in the world. Everything will be okay in the end. Whatever bad situation is happening right now will soon pass and it won't be a big deal later on. The universe is working for them, constantly, and no matter what the situation.

Being in that flow and mental state will allow you to not take life too seriously. I have found it to be my best times when I don't think too much about a situation and just let things happen.

the belief that we all have a soul that lives on after our physical body dies.

I feel that way a lot of the time but I think the op meant that they are not to hard on them self that they take the time to enjoy life.
Not taking life seriously has a double meaning.

Don't worry.

Be happy! ;-)

I think its the 'amount of uncertainty' that exists. I mean we make plans as to what we want to be, and how we go about it, but uncertainty takes this path.. and changes things. There are although one in a million people who win over uncertainty.

A lot of things causes people to have beliefs that do not serve them for good.
Things that causes these type of beliefs are low self esteem and shyness.(according to me since Iam working on them)

Just one factor that may be involved: how accommodating you are to the unexpected and the unknown. This involves letting go of your capacity to control every little detail of your life and trust that you future will unfold 'ok' in the end even if you can't control the flow of things.

Why are you asking?

I don't think life should be taken seriously

I believe so because, all of it is just a dream. But you can always work towards getting what you want, acheivements, and you can always give and receive love even if you don't take life too seriously, I think you can do all of the above BETTER if you don't take like too seriously.

When you take life to serious life tends to become too serious.

And believe in a immortal consciousness goes a long way.

Maybe when you've gone through a lot of seriousness. My Dad always told me, if you can laugh at it, you can live with it.

I laugh because it's better for me, and easier than crying.

Angelique · 10-19-2010, 12:17 AM

What do you mean by 'seriously'?
Do you mean cerealy? Like life cerealy? Or serially?

Are you looking for a way to laugh at everything and nothing? Go loony. That's what I did. It's fun and nobody yells at you if you wear your underwear outside your jeans or on your head. It's quite cathartic too. For your underwear, that is.
