Most of us would be upset if we were accused of being ‘silly.’ But the word ‘silly’ comes from the old English word ‘selig,’ and its literal definition is ‘to be blessed, happy, healthy and prosperous.’ – Zig Ziglar

(My Thoughts:)

Well, this sure is a bit confusing as when we think of silly we think of immatureness. However, I guess as Zig Ziglar may mean that if we are willing to be sill than we sure have everything under control. Meaning our life is good enough that we are okay to be silly. Even though it is a behavior not really acceptable by the people who are mature. There is a time when everyone is silly regardless of who you are. This doesn’t mean be silly for fun, it just means sometimes it’s okay to be silly.

Happy

One thing for sure and that is that most people who are silly are usually happy to begin with. If the happy state of mind is missing, then their would probably be no chances of becoming silly as unhappiness builds up. Usually when unhappiness rises so does stress and depression that can come along with it. At that point being, silly is not an existence to that person anymore.

You might think to yourself if you are happy or not. Well don’t let yourself fool you trying to be silly. That is something that comes within you and not something you try to act upon. If you act out of your zone it will just not come out silly as you may think it is. Therefore, always be yourself and being silly doesn’t mean you are happy. It just happens during happy times. Also, it is a characteristic of the individual which this means that if it’s not your character than just be who you are.
