RULE 62—

“Don’t take yourself too damn seriously” - Middleton group

Do we sometimes think that the whole house of cards will come tumbling down if we make one false move? There’s nothing wrong with making mistakes. That’s how we learned in the past, and that’s how we’re learning now. We laugh affectionately at the foibles of others, and sometimes it’s irresistible. We can laugh at our own with the same good humor.

Living a spiritual life doesn’t mean we have to be grim. In fact, increasing joy and happiness is an unavoidable result of turning our will over to a Higher Power. Now we can relax and enjoy life, and that includes enjoying our imperfect selves.

Today I will not take myself so seriously.
