Laughter: Work Stress Will Melt Away

"My only commandment is laughter!.... And everything else will follow. If you can love and if you can laugh, totally, wholeheartedly, your life will become such a bliss and a benediction, not only to yourself but to everyone else."<br>
~OSHO

I remember distinctly at about age 16, I decided: I'm going to be funny. I liked it when people made me laugh, and I wanted to make others laugh. And dammit---I did it. I've heard that "funny" is like having a musical ear, you either have it or you don't. And maybe that's true. I've definitely met people who wanted to be funny or tried to be funny and it was a really painful thing to watch.

I am really glad that I can make people laugh. I think there is something magical in laughter. There are programs out there like "FISH!" that play on this concept in the workplace. And having a funny quote or picture in the office definitely puts things in perspective. I recommend that you try to cultivate this quality, however. See if you can start to play with your wit and have a little more fun (and laughter) at work.
