When All Else Fails, Laugh

We have all heard it but it is very true: “Laughter is the best medicine!”

 

Sometimes, even with all of the best intent in the world and no matter how resilient we are, sometimes, we just have to laugh through it. Having a sense of humor is sometimes the best way to get through it. Now, that is not to suggest that all events are a laughing matter. It just means that you need to be able to laugh sometimes – at outrageous events, at absurd happenings, and even at your own mistakes.

 

Understand that things sometimes go wrong, no matter how diligent you are, and that you may just have to accept them.

 

If you are having a hard time finding something to smile about, maybe you can reach out to your social network. Often, friends and family are able to distract you from the negative and give you something to be happy about!
