Huh?!... The Beginning

I’ve been asked exactly what “Huh?!” means. After all, you don’t spend hundreds of dollars on a trademark for a word that you can’t define. Everybody knows that “Huh?!” can mean “what?” or “I didn’t hear you”, or “I don’t understand”. However, it wasn’t until I put together a couple of ideas in my rather abstract mind that everything fell into place. “Huh?!” represents the curiosity that a person must have in order to lead a truly fulfilling life!

Greg Anderson, author and founder of the American Wellness Project, says “Focus on the journey, not the destination. Joy is found not in finishing an activity but in doing it.” Kids know this. As long as they are exploring, discovering and growing, they are as happy as clams (whatever that means... it’s also why they never want to go to sleep). Unfortunately for many of us adults, we find ourselves settling into routines, often ones that clash with the hopes and dreams that we had as children.

Children possess the sense of enthusiasm, and discovery that people need to break the stressful monotony their lives have become. Ever watch children as they are walking around children asking a thousand questions? Look at the anticipation and excitement in their faces as they look for the answers. It is this same enthusiasm that one sees in the eyes of people who are travelers, musicians, artists and entrepreneurs. They seek out and revel in the different perspectives and many possibilities that life has to offer. Ask them what tomorrow holds, and they will say “huh?!” and smile, because each new day finds them looking for new challenges and pursuits.

It is this flexibility that epitomizes the “Huh?!” lifestyle: following the natural urge for people to explore life graciously. Look for those healthy new experiences! Find your lost sense of wonder! Rediscover the laughter and happiness you’ve lost! There is so much that you are missing. And all it takes to begin a fresh new chapter in your life is to take a good, long look at your life and say “Huh?!”
