Encouragement
How many things in life can we laugh about?
How many things do we take in our stride? And how many times do we get
affected?
If you can laugh about things which hurt
earlier, then you are more evolved because such people are lighter in energy and
a little detached as well.
If you are taking things in your stride,
then you have learnt to balance your emotions out. And you have learnt when and
where to use them.
And if you get affected by things, then you
have not learnt your lessons well. It is always in the moment of imbalance that
we are dominated by our emotions. You are still too dependent on what is
outside of you. And the external is not always dependable whereas you are
looking for support and encouragement from there only. Shoulders may be taken
away. Rugs can be pulled from under your feet.
In all this, you can only depend on
yourself and your wisdom in living, dealing with people and situations. Just like
no one can attend school as a proxy for you to attain the knowledge, no one can
improve your life but yourself.
Men may come and men may go,
But "I" go on forever.
So, if "I" go on forever, where
lies the need to lean on an impermanent, destructible world?

Laughter clubs
We often forget what it is like to laugh
whole heartedly. More often than not, we smile politely. Laugh because it
should be done at a joke so that the teller may not feel bad. This has not much
salutary effect.
Even as a child, I had the reputation of
being a little crazy. I would laugh at small things and often, become
hysterical and laugh till tears came out of my eyes. My siblings would roll
their eyes and say, "there she goes again". But I had so much fun!
They say, God lives within this kind of
laughter. Just a way of saying that a no hold barred laugh can change the
composition of your body and charge it with so much positive energy that you
feel blissful all day. Like, God is with you.
Laughter clubs started for this reason.
Stress is relieved almost immediately if you can laugh out aloud. Laughter is
very contagious. You will notice that you cannot remain immune for too long and
will be triggered by people laughing continuously around you, so wishing you
hours, days and weeks of happy laughter. Stay blessed and joyful. You don't
need stress as your companion for sure.
