Do you know how to accept the events in your life as they occur in your life? Do you have the power to make the changes in your life that will allow you not to take this life so serious? The people that can laugh at themselves are in more control of their lives and accomplish more in less time.

The world we live in desensitizes us. We're surrounded by the influences on TV, in the media, on radio, in homes, government, schools, etc. To each his own, but it is easy to see the flaws in them. Seeing these flaws takes no effort, which is why it is easy. We cannot alter their behaviors and way of thinking, but we may change ours. Our attitude is a component of learning and accepting the realities. The best way to take charge of your life is to become your influencer and let others influences make another person's life unserene.
As you accept yourself as you are, laughing at yourself will become normal. For example, if somebody makes you crazy, you will see the futility in getting upset over their actions. You will be able to see the humor in your behavior if you make an error and feed into their stupidity. Once you begin to see the humor in life, you will feel better inside as you start to permit yourself to make mistakes. When you learn to change to better you, others might follow. Your conduct will be far more effective at changing others than words could ever accomplish.

To accept myself for who I was 10 years ago, seemed like an impossible talk. Now, I can laugh at myself and the goofy things I've done. The biggest obstacle to me improving has been my own thinking. I'm removing barriers right now and seeing the potential that I have within. It's very powerful. I do want to exercise, I do want to eat better, I want to make the most of my life today. I want to be around for along time to have a fulfilling life, to be there with my kids as they grow older, and perahps most of all to do the thing I've always wanted to do, make the world a better place. The acceptance and love I have formselg now is completely amazing to me, and I've worked hard for it. It didn't just come easily.
Thinking is our only problem. The meaning I give things either propels me or holds me back. Just with this site I have smash through some old thought patterns.
