Life Lessons We Can Learn From Yellows

It’s hard not to love a healthy Yellow. Even if you can’t keep up with their spontaneity, they sure are fun to have around. Yellows love life, which is something a lot of people hope to achieve. While every color has many qualities to admire, today’s post will focus on what we can learn from the Yellow personality.

For the worried Blue readers out there, the intense Red readers and the indifferent White readers, let’s take a page out of a Yellow’s book and learn more about why life is so fun for them.

Yellows are fun-loving

The Yellow Driving Core Motive is fun. Yellows properly define fun. Fun means enjoying someone or something simply for the sake of enjoyment. It has nothing to do with results or improvement or complex meaning. Fun means enjoying whoever or whatever you are in the moment. Blues, Whites and Reds, instead of overly worrying about your fun plans going perfectly or defining fun as something more complex or difficult to achieve, think like a Yellow and simply have the fun without making more out of it than it is.

Yellows are happy

Yellows have an innate ability to be happy. Yellows focus on appreciating what they have rather than ruminating on what they lack. Yellows wake up happy daily. Blues think they must be taking medicine because they don’t think anybody can be that happy. But Yellows are. If you struggle to adopt the happiness of a Yellow, try focusing on gratitude — it seems to work for them!

Yellows are enthusiastic

Yellows represent enthusiasm and share this excitement with everyone they meet. They are terrific at social involvements and have a way of making a party out of everyday living. They remind us of our youth and the joy that comes from innocent hopes and optimistic dreams. If you’d like to be more enthusiastic like a Yellow, find something you are passionate about and share it with those you love. It’s a start!

Yellows are optimistic

Yellows always see the glass as half full. They know things will work out no matter how desperate the situation is. Yellows have a lot of faith in humanity and in life. Subsequently, life and humanity show a lot of faith in Yellows. They have the uncanny ability to land on their feet regardless of where they fall. Faith can be a scary thing for a lot of people, but it’s an important lesson we can learn from Yellows. If you’re looking to develop more faith and optimism, start with something small — like believing at least one good thing will happen to you on any given day — then let optimism become a habit.

Yellows are playful

None of the other colors play like a Yellow does. They are extremely spontaneous and are always ready to do something fun. A Yellow’s play does not need to be productive. The activity of play is, in itself, valuable enough to warrant a Yellow’s attention. Yellows love to celebrate anything they can. They love holidays and special moments and will take advantage of any opportunity to have fun. If you are someone who struggles to relax enough to just play, learn this lesson from a Yellow. Say yes to more opportunities to have fun. You don’t have to give up your need for alone time, structure or productivity, but you can learn to have more fun in life.

The Yellows are probably out playing as the Reds, Whites and Blues read this, so now that you’ve come to the end of this blog post, don’t forget to go out and enjoy life. We all have a lot to learn from Yellows, but don’t feel too bad — Yellows have a lot to learn from everyone else too.
