Food for the soul

[Flash]

I always seem to find humor in the most bizarre things. I think that ability allows me to keep my sanity and not take myself too seriously. When life or people start try to bring you down, the ability to just laugh at it all cleanses the soul and mind from negative repudiation. “A healthy laugh is good for the soul” I think Franklin Delano Roosevelt said that after a serious bout with his polio. Whatever happens to us in this world will happen no matter what we do. We cannot change what happens to us only our response to it. I myself am not a religious man but I do consider myself spiritual. What I mean is that I try to do things that help my soul grow. There are times when I lose it and respond off the hook but I try to reflect upon those moments and get my spirit back on track. I have a spiritual word that I repeat to myself when I am tested that reminds me to laugh and not take myself too seriously. Everyday problems and everyday people stress us all. The bible is right when it says “do unto others as you would like them to do unto you. If we treat everyone as we would like to be treated regardless of how they treat us, we strengthen our souls. That is our primary focus as human beings. Granted we are still human beings, caught up in our web of emotion and passion and sometimes we will tread away from the right path. Just remember, think about that moment we strayed and just laugh. Laugh from deep down until your gut hurts. The laugh will be followed by a smile and you will feel okay. I am just offering another way of thinking.
