ACTIVATING YOUR POWER TO LAUGH

We have seen that life supplies us so much of labour. Naturally, no one wants to work. We want so easy a world where everything is obtained at our finger tips, but life doesn’t work that way. Even those who are born with silver spoons will have to labour somewhere in their lives to keep their silver spoons.

Most Labour isn’t always interesting though, so most persons, a large chunk of us on earth will keep stoned faces. Some kinds of work are considered not dignifying, some are inspiring, some are average, some poor yet they are labour and one has to be happy doing them.

Happiness doesn’t result from what we do or how we live. It consists in our own nature. Unlike pain, sadness and tears which have being activated at birth by the hitting of the matron or nurse, laughter is activated only by the individual who learns to respond to laughter’s external stimuli, a stimuli that comes as we live in life.

Laughter results from a happy mood or state which is caused by the attainment of a positive action or an achieved expectation. We often laugh because that satisfied part of us has being triggered, that part that offers content benefits for which we find amusing.

A laughing life elopes from right within us. It exists right inside us but we often choose the sad life ahead of it because that seems the easier life to live. It invariably means that laughing could require something like the application of some energy to achieve. This may make some person back off from a laughing life. Well, so much as energy is required to laugh; we need energy to do everything in life, this energy we also apply in our labour or daily work.

We could define this form of human energy as dual, The NEGATIVE and POSITIVE energy. The negative energy involves that form of energy that negates our thinking capacity and pushes us into an endless state of depression and sadness. It’s the most popular you’d find around. This energy makes one nag, cry, feel sad or even curse some other person because situations aren’t going well as expected.

The positive energy in the other hand carries some form of fire. It triggers positivity in life, develops hope, builds faith, carries charisma and engineers great possibilities. It’s an unpopular energy though because it is hardly used; however like negative energy it also exists inside every one. A laughing life is an offspring of this positive energy.

So many persons marvel at how certain people live their lives ever happy and laughing all the way even in what seems like worse situations. Maybe you might have asked that question yourself. The answer isn’t far-fetched. This persons learnt to trigger and activate their capacity, power or energy to laugh at every moment they found themselves in a dark pool of negative energy.

How do they activate this power?

These persons LEARN to appreciate every situation in life however good or bad as necessary to get the best in them

These persons ALLOW only useful desires and thought come around them. They shade off negative thoughts and desire.

These people UNLEASH their passion and zest for the kind of life they want to live. They want to be happy and laughing so they unleash their passion for laughter doing all in their capacity to find some good reason to laugh every time.

This persons GUIDE their thoughts. Our thoughts are often what pull us into this dark negative energy that results in worry and pain. Our thought often may make us think something is impossible when we haven’t tried at all, when indeed we could have reveled in the joy of a major achievement. Guiding our thought from inappropriate thinking will help us focus more on achieving and the resulting laughter.

These people ensure they aim HIGH. To stay happy, means you are high up above your challenges. Those who laugh over situations see beyond, the present possibilities that will supply a desirable future result.

You have the power to laugh. It requires only changing how you think. This may not be automatic neither is it a fast rule. It will require some consistency in your acts. If you were always this pessimistic person, you will need to break off from that shell and create an optimistic air. Start with even trivial things if you doubt big things. Step out from your comfort zone and look for that difficult scenario that you think you don’t see possibility in. Begin to think there is some possibility and speak it. Keep saying it till you believe it entirely. You would have changed so lot about you.

If your location makes you think the way you do, change it. Move from where you are to a more positive environment. Change friends if necessary and get into thinking bigger things that you never would have thought. Having a set personal goal you are pursuing keeps you busy and happy too at the attainment of that goal.

Don’t sit at contentment level. Those who are often happy change as often as possible.
