USURPING YOUR LAUGHING CAPACITY TO CHALLENGE LIFE’S TROUBLES

The very fact that you’ve leant to laugh in every situation doesn’t mean there will not continue to be difficult challenges. We’ve seen already that life is trouble filled and one has to labour to get round them. The difference which developing a laughing life causes is the continuous capacity to challenge every trouble that arrives whatever happens.

You can practical laugh off your challenges. This may sound weird and perhaps amusing. You’d imagine having an exam and laughing away to the exam hall without preparing. That’s not what I mean though. What I mean is you can laugh off through the preparation process easing yourself by keeping positive faith and keeping your gait high while you prepare and expect so much of a good result when you are through.

Living a life of laughter absolutely brings us to a heightened state of expectancy however bad situation may be or challenging present state may seem. If you can laugh, then you can challenge life’s troubles. The ability to keep a laughing face in every situation is one that is hardly found but it can be developed as we have seen.

So much as we desire to always laugh and keep a happy mood, life comes with every of its trouble to keep that face stiff and caged. Life doesn’t want you smiling. You cried into it so it expects you continue to cry through it. However your determination to laugh is the same determination that you require to stay afloat over life’s troubles.

So you want to challenge life’s troubles. Yes you do. It’s a remarkable laughing route. You don’t really have to sound so tough and hardened to get past life’s tough routes. You can ease your way and laugh so easy through it. Here’s how.

Locate where and how you want to live beyond present challenge. You must be able to picture where you feel you should be after all your current hell of problems or challenges are over. If you can’t see the picture, you can’t get there.

Assuage the burdens of present challenge by releasing yourself into a laughing atmosphere. Burdens will be burdens and you can’t run from them. What can happen is to ease your way past them into an easier life.

Usurp nature’s gifts to help you find that solace that you think you should have. In nature are so many reasons to laugh. Nature always has a way to challenge its problems without you suffering from its aftermaths. Like nature, you can apply her skills to help you get through your problems with ease.

Grow. We naturally grow out of many challenges not necessarily because we solved them, but we became too big and outdid the challenges. A laughing life helps us grow. It helps us rise and create that aura of bigness.

Hope. Life problems become mince meat when we learn to hope by laughing away the challenges. Those that have big hope often are very happy people. They smile because they have something bigger they are picturing, that bigger picture that keeps them smiling even if today isn’t great.

Life is so big a training ground and so small a stadium and we tend to give up playing because we think all we have to play in is the training pitch. In the real sense though, the stadium is where matters and that’s where the real game will be played. Your challenges are like training pitches, and only laughing away the stress of playing here can take you to the real stadium where champions are celebrated.

When next you find yourself caged and loss of what to do, just laugh and feel happy about the situation. You will be over it in no time.
