Life gives us plenty to take seriously, but that doesn’t mean we have to take ourselves seriously all the time.

Laugh at the joke. Remember the ridiculous story. Enjoy the unexpected moment. And when you’re the one who said the wrong thing, tripped over your own feet or made a complete mess of something—learn to laugh at yourself too.

Complaining is easy. Finding something to smile about takes a little more intention.

Pay attention. Life is funnier than you think.

Laugh often. Enjoy the moment. And give yourself permission to have a little fun along the way.

Life is serious enough. You don’t have to be serious every minute you’re living it. Find something to laugh about, even if it’s yourself.
