Using the Four C's of Humour to Succeed

Human Suffering and Reality
Question: Why as human we suffer more than we have to and how understanding our reality can be a remedy. As humans, we can suffer in a variety of ways. The bad news is that suffering isn’t going away anytime soon. Suffering, for people, is a fundamental state of being, just as our sadness or our happiness. It exists because we ultimately have no control over much of anything and definitely not the external world.

Life Gets Worse When It's at Its Best
Some say nothing is worse than the death of a loved one, or the death of a relationship. Either is an almost unbearable loss of something, and someone that you cared a lot for. Memories are all that's left and they can be triggered by a photograph, a piece of art, a taste, or a scent. It's easy to understand why loss is so painful. Others say fear and abuse are the most painful. To live in a state of fear or hostility, there are so many horrible things, and a bittersweet realization is, it can always get better, and it can always get worse.

Blah Blah Blah
You know that saying, “ignorance is bliss.” I truly believe that to be true sometimes. If there is negativity in my peripheral, I immediately block it out. I can’t be around negativity for very long because I somehow get pulled back into that world of hurt, anger, and sadness. Don’t get me wrong, I will be there for you when you’re hurt, angry, or sad, but if I’m going about my day and negativity starts to creep in from a random source, I need to leave.

Time Stands Still
You're staring at the clock again. Hoping, no, wishing that it stops moving forward. That it doesn't go up one more hour, one more minute, one more second. Maybe it will freeze you think. That way you could lay there without wasting another minute. Because it's not wasteful if you are not using it.

Happiness
If you've been one of my readers for a while now, you would know I had a really rough time in the past year. I haven't ever taken time for myself after the breakup with my ex back in late 2017. I've been trying to better myself and do good by myself now though and I think I'm finally on the right path towards it. I'm on the path of happiness now, and I can't wait to see how far I'll get and how I'll end up.

A Beautiful World
It's almost dawn and a new day is promised by a bracing wind. Raindrops drift from the overarching clouds to land like tiny ballerinas, gracefully slipping onto the soft green grass.

The Balance Between Positive and Negative Energies
It was said—by Oscar Wild—"no good deed goes unpunished." Positive and negative forces in creation have to roughly balance each other, if the normal laws and rules of physics are to be accurate. God can be said to be the positive energy, Satan the negative; we should always be positive but never stop being vigilant, because the negative is never far away, and is always trying to catch up. If you do a good deed and stop to be proud of yourself, the negative will catch up while you congratulating yourself.

Our Surroundings
Growing up, I have learned that you can learn anything at any time and in any place. It has been especially amazing to learn that our environment can hold some glorious secrets. If we listen long enough, we will be able to uncover many of those secrets.

Choose Happy
Alright, so, you may disagree with me, but hear me out. Nobody chooses to be sad. Usually people feel sad because of something that happened, a mental illness, or it's just one of those days and they can't put a finger on.

Things My Momma Said About Life
Things my mamma said is real life advise that has always led me into the light. Maybe her words can help you too... Take care of your family. Do the right things even when it isn't popular. Don't cheat on your partner. Don't let your partner feel less than any other person by your treatment of them. Speak the truth as you see it but be willing to listen and learn, your truths will change as you grow with time and wisdom. If you have kids then take care of them. Teach them the realities of the world and how to stand apart from the negative part of the world. Never let anyone hurt your babies, stand up for them and teach them to stand up for themselves. No matter how much it hurts inside accept when others show you who they are. Do not see them as you want them to be but see others as they really are.
