My advice to my husband and daughter is that we should take the time to laugh more and to lighten up. I tend to take life very seriously ... I read uplifting books and motivate all who are around me but I found I was full of wisdom, wanting to share what was in my heart .... but I was so serious ..... others would rather avoid all these wonderful titbits I wanted to share with them. It was then that I discovered the wonderful gift of laughter ...... to laugh at yourself is the probably the most difficult lesson, but once you have mastered it, it becomes a wonderful tool that draws people to you.   Noeline I have found that we become so serious in life and we forget how wonderful laughter can be.

Instead, he would get us rolling on the floor. We had to ask why this was so. He explained to us that there was 35 categories of things that we humans found to be funny, and once you understood this, jokes no longer evoked an automatic reaction. I, of course thought this was a sad state of affairs, because I understood that "laughter is the best medicine." If laughter is a loss of emotional control, then so be it. I'm all for it! The best kind is when we need no defenses and can laugh freely at ourselves. Nobody gets hurt feelings that way! You have to be able to crawl out of your own skin and see yourself as others might, which requires a detached attitude, and that's the beginning of inner peace.

So that's what I've been doin all these years to my husband... paradigm shifting? never quite thought of it that way. ..just kidding, but i have used humor just the way you described it, as a paradigm shifting tool. It sorta just happens. Now its nice to have a conscious knowledge of what is going on when I do and better understand the reactions that I see. ha ha. lmao.

Mike, I like this peice, am actually laughing at what takes place in my life now days. There are some verses in the Bible that look at laughing as one for the weak and silly..."It is stupid to laugh all the time. Indeed it is, however, our laughters play an important role in our day to day life. People laugh at me when I discuss the basics of VF101... Some times I get discouraged and when I laugh, the whole story changes... They accept my views and allow their minds to open other than being biased and fixated. Ho Ho!

I have been laughed at sooo many times and guess what, that is what keeps me going! I believe in doing what i do best, that is just being me..persistent in achieving my goals. Sometimes i do get distracted by all the laughters but i pick myself up again and keep moving forward...and i will never ever stop reaching my destiny. All the laughters along the way are just pure entertainment, a different way of looking at it... Oh yes! I have been laughed at sooo many times and guess what, that is what keeps me going!
