EXTINGUISHING PRESENT TROUBLES WITH THE LAUGHTER MEDICINE

It’s normal for troubles to arise. The true test of our resolve to challenge life only comes when there is a challenge. Yes, trouble will arrive from wherever it’s coming from and we can’t do anything about it when it comes. But we can face those troubles by laughing. Trouble is just like a fever that arrives and then we are faced with taking on the fever by taking pain killers.

Are you confused about any decision you are trying to resolve without any headway? May be you’ve being taking the wrong approach. You’ve being thinking that by being tough and hard faced, you can resolve them. Well some challenges won’t go away however tough one becomes. When those tough troubles arrive which being hard and tough cannot resolve, just laugh away the trouble.

Laughter is a huge faith booster. A man who has faith and confidence about an action will laugh with ease. Trouble arises to cause fear in our hearts about the events we should be having great time at. A man who wins finds a way to do away with fear always finds a way to laugh. Fear strains our face and keeps one’s heart shaky. Laughter has the opposite effect. Laughter propels us with enough energy to act in the direction of our faith.

Like medicine that heals that headache or fever, laughter calms all our troubles and makes them seize. Your present troubles seizes as soon as you choose to laugh. Now you may think this isn’t logical, say you are having a need for some money and then you begin to laugh. Will laughter bring the money? Yes you may be right to ask that question. No, laughter may not bring that money immediately but it supplies you with an assurance that that the money will arrive. It takes your mind off the challenge and assures you the money has arrived when indeed it is far away. We get what we believe we should have. Once our belief can reach what we want, it is only a matter of time before it arrives. That space of time can be used rightly by laughing it away.

What’s that trouble that’s presently troubling you?

Leave it with God. God has all the grace to bear all your present burdens. Just leave them at his feet.

Accept that it’s normal for troubles to arise. Don’t push them off. There is an able in every trouble.

Undo those complicated knots that tie your happiness down because of the troubles you are currently facing.

Giggle a bit and as often as possible. You deserve it.

Hasten to share your troubles with those who have had experience getting through theirs. They will help you with some quality advice.

Yes, you may be at Trouble Mountain and it’s only for a while. Trouble doesn’t last forever. Frowning or being angry wouldn’t help you feel better through it. What will pay only is laughing through them with God beside you. Whatever trouble you may be going through at the moment will have an expiry date. Just as it came, it will leave. Just laugh
