The Power of Laughter

Hi, my loyal readers! On today’s topic, I want to share the importance to know the power of laughter. In times that are despairing and troubling, it is vital to see the lighter side of the situation. Why? It gives you a different picture which in turn gives a ray of hope.

Dr. Madan Kataria said it this way, “If laughter cannot solve your problems, it will definitely DISSOLVE your problems; so that you can think clearly what to do about them.” When we focus on the benefits of laughter, we will change the mental and physical condition of ourselves. Yet, what are the benefits of laughter?

Laughter can improve mood, boost immunity, and reduce stress and pain. It releases endorphins or neurotransmitters that bring a feeling of euphoria. The advantage of all of this- it is FREE!! You don’t have to go to the store to buy it. You just must open your heart and mind to receive it.

Find out what makes you laugh. It is a funny movie, music, people, or jokes. Discover what you enjoy the most and spend time savoring it. Your spirits will be lighter, you will have a smile on your face, and will see your situation different. Try it, you will not regret it!

“All the days of the afflicted are bad, but a glad heart has a continual feast (regardless of the circumstances).” Proverbs 15:15

Peace, Love, and Joy!

Hello, my loyal readers! Today, I want to share with you a poem for you to

ponder and meditate. Have a time of reflection of what it is saying to you

personally. Say it out loud until every fiber of your being believes it! Embrace it

passionately and treasure it always!

I AM STRONG

because I know my Weaknesses

I AM BEAUTIFUL

because I am aware of my Flaws

I AM FEARLESS

because I learnt to recognize, illusion from Real

I AM WISE

because I learn from my Mistakes

I AM A LOVER

because I have felt Hate

and…

I CAN LAUGH

because I have known Sadness

“Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your

mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and

acceptable and perfect.” Romans 12:2

Peace, Love, and Joy!

A Reflection of You

Hello, my loyal readers! Have you ever seen something and knew exactly who was the one that made it or did the job? You can tell by the shoes, clothing, art, or even food who was the one who did it. So is what we do in our lives as well.

Whatever we do reflects who we are. What is your work say about you? Have you ever considered this question? If not, take a moment now and evaluate it. Does it speak about your excellence, passion, love, and care? Are people drawn to it? This will determine the effectiveness of your deeds and actions in your life toward yourself and others.

Be intentional in how you do things, say things, and give out things. Why? It expresses more than words could ever do. Let it be an extension to give to others of yourself. The impact will

be felt for years to come. You can even influence others to see things in a different light.

I was given several years ago a framed poem of the “Touch of the master’s Hand” that was a story of an old, battered violin that was abandoned. A professional violinist saw it with admiration. He took it and started to play while the music penetrated the very soul of those that heard. In his hand, it reflected his love and passion of the instrument.

Today, my question is to you, “What is what you are doing saying about you?” “Whatever you do (whatever your task maybe), work from the soul (that is, put in your best effort), as (something one) for the Lord and not for men.” Colossians 3:23

Peace, Love, and Joy!
