“Don’t go around saying the world owes you a living. The world owes you nothing. It was here first.”
~Mark Twain
A friend shared Mark Twain’s Top 9 Tips for Living a Kick-Ass Life and I thought I would share them with you. Henrik Edberg did a great job of selecting some quotes from one of history’s greatest humorists and suggesting the life lessons behind them:
3. Lighten up and have some fun.
“Humor is mankind’s greatest blessing.”
“Against the assault of laughter nothing can stand.”
Humor and laughter are amazing tools. They can turn any serious situation into something to laugh about. They can lighten the mood just about anywhere.
And a lighter mood is often a better space to work in because now your body and mind isn’t filled to the brim with negative emotions. When you are more light-hearted and relaxed then the solution to a situation is often easier to both come up with and implement. Have a look at Lighten Up! for more on this topic.
