In the Fourth Step we write down not only our character defects, but we also list our positive traits. Why can't I realize the power I have to improve my emotional health by using these gifts, these traits which make me feel good about myself, and make those around me feel good too? My sense of humor is number one on my list of positive qualities. The best person to use it for is me. Laughing at myself helps me to be humble and to accept myself even when I goof. When others are down and I can make them laugh, we both benefit.
Help me to develop a sense of humor and appreciate laughter in my life.
I believe God is a healer and that laughter is one of God's prescriptions.

“Good humor isn't a trait of character; it is an art which requires practice”
David Seabury quotes
“Laugh at yourself and at life. Not in the spirit of derision or whining self-pity, but as a remedy, a miracle drug, that will ease your pain, cure your depression, and help you to put in perspective that seemingly terrible defeat and worry with laughter at your predicaments, thus freeing your mind to think clearly toward the solution that is certain to come. Never take yourself too seriously.”
Og Mandino
"Mistakes, obviously, show us what needs improving. Without mistakes, how would we know what we had to work on?"
