Dear Learners,

I look forward to solving the crossword puzzle each day. But once I get into it, my fun quickly dissolves into frustration. The blank spaces stare at me and the clues mock me. But by the next day, I forget this feeling and again look forward to solving the crossword puzzle.

Engagement is not the same thing as fun. Things that require our full focus and attention aren’t usually fun–they’re beyond fun. They exist in that place where we lose ourselves and put everything we have into one task.

So lose yourself in some task today. Go beyond fun and forget everything around you. I promise it will be more rewarding.

Sincerely,

Mr. Heimbuck
