The longer I live, the more I see the value of being able to laugh at myself. When I was young, I got my feelings hurt easily and it made me miserable. I didn’t know it then, but I had a choice to accept or not accept things that were said about me or to me. I was just a shy kid and I felt very insecure.
As time went on, I realized that one of the best things I could do, was to laugh at myself and not take myself so seriously. When we let other people determine our opinion of ourselves, then we give our power away to people who do not care about us.
When I finally realized that I was doing this, I couldn’t believe that I had let it happen. But, I needed to know what I was doing, before I could learn to deal with it. When I did, it changed everything.
When someone tried to embarrass me, I realized that it said more about them than it did me. When I made a mistake, I laughed first. It made it funny and it took the pressure off. I didn’t need to be trying to be perfect all the time. I learned to revel in my imperfection.
I found that I could make people laugh and I loved it. My favorite thing to do is to find the humor in a situation, and then share my perspective with others. When they laugh at my jokes, I am in heaven. I wish I had discovered this early on. I might have become a comedienne.
Again and again I remember the influence of my father and his positive self-image. He liked himself and did not let others make this determination for him. I think it never even occurred to him that people would not like him. It wouldn’t have mattered if they did or not anyway. It would not have changed the way he felt about himself.
It has been said that laughing is good medicine. I know that humor has made a positive impact on me for a long time now. So, I intend to give myself a good dose of it for the rest of my life.
I’m impressed, I have to admit. Rarely do I come across a blog that’s both equally educative and engaging,
and let me tell you, you have hit the nail on the head.
