Enthusiasm is the bomb!

I recently read Viktor Frankl’s book, “Man, Search for Meaning!” and I wanted to share some of the interesting points I found, especially about humor. It’s fascinating how the word “meaning” has a double meaning, both positive and negative. Any kind of meaning has to have something to get through, which can be a bit tricky. Words like “rubble” and “trouble” come to mind - problems are often dangers with opportunities built in. The liberating idea is to find humor in every situation and become good at it. It’s a great habit to develop: always ask yourself, “What humorous situation can come out of this?” or “What funny attack can I come up with?” Trust me, it’s a powerful skill to be quick to be humorous and relieve the tension of yourself. One of the reasons I say I thank God for my mistakes is because I often say, “I thank God I’m a misfit.” At least I pour the omnipresent of God into my soul, mind, and brain, where the problem is trying to capture my soul. I catch it before it gets to my thinking. Thank God for this situation, thank God for what I did. I let God’s presence come in and overwhelm me, rather than having the problem overwhelm my confidence. Let’s not take ourselves too seriously, but to have fun every day with this life we’ve been given.
