Yesterday I was quite tired and not feeling too well or too happy (it had been a very long week) and I had a full day of clients to see, which I wasn’t sure I would be able to make it through.
Then I listened to some music I really like (call me crazy but I love the Pirates of The Caribbean soundtrack), and I did a bunch of laughing for no reason (because trust me I really wasn’t feeling like anything was particularly funny), and wow what a difference.
I did some really great coaching with my client, didn’t feel tired at all while doing it, and still had energy left over at the end of the day.
I know I started the “Laugh Life” blog to talk about funny things and share those with all of you, but I am finding more and more that you can’t always rely on the world to be funny (even when you have the perspective that the world is a crazy mixed up place and there is lots of absurd stuff to laugh at).
I have always maintained that happiness is a state of being, that there is nothing you can DO that is happiness, you can only ever BE happy. And along with that I knew that you had to really be happy first, don’t look for things to make you happy.
Yet as much as I knew all of this, it really wasn’t until I encountered the “laugh for no reason” philosophy that I really truly understood it.
It just goes to show you that learning is a life long process and that “knowing” something is not the same as “understanding” it.
So until tomorrow, keep learning, keep laughing, and keep living life to the fullest.
