Daily Inspirational Quote July 3 2014
“A person without a sense of humor is like a wagon without springs.
It’s jolted by every pebble on the road.”
- Henry Ward Beecher
When we’re watching a movie, we naturally chuckle when some character is running into foible after foible, yet in real life, we have a hard time laughing when the same thing happens to us. It has always intrigued me how we can become frustrated or upset when one or two things go wrong, but when everything is falling apart, suddenly we consider our situation to be a “comedy of errors.” If we can laugh when nothing is going right, it seems like it should be even easier to shrug off one or two problems or issues. By stepping outside the fragile shells of our egos to see the humor in our experiences, we can instantly transform our lives from tragedies into comedies. The plot may be the same, but the story is so much more enjoyable when it’s full of good humor.
