On A Lighter Note

I AM CANADIAN!

Recently my wife and I saw comedian Russell Peters live at “The River Rock” Theatre here in Richmond, British Columbia Canada!

Why am I telling you this and why should you care?

Because I wanted to pass along what I learned to you…

The essence of his 2 hour non stop comedy routine was this:

“Love live! – Live life! and Laugh at life”!

Why?

Because it’s good for you!

Listening to a good comedian forces you to see things in a different way…

Listening to a comedian in a theatre that is jam packed with people says to me that no matter what ethnic background or social level any of us are – we love to laugh -and don’t do it nearly enough!

Listening to a good comedian makes you laugh till the tears roll down your checks…

Leaving the theatre feeling happy and carefree reminded me that much of the time we all take life and it’s events too seriously…

It’s time to “lighten up” and find humor and laughter now and along the journey together…

People will love you more for it…You will have more fun…you will live longer…

So lets make a promise to won’t take ourselves so seriously from now on!

Yes, we live in a world with serious issues and we are often stressed!

However, let’s all make a pact to take a “mental health break” at least 3 times a day…

Laugh out loud – you will surprise yourself at how good it feels.

In fact, let’s start right now…take a look as some samples of what I saw last night.

Living here in Richmond – this bit really hit home…

Russell Peters – Be A Man – 3 min.

Russell Peters – The Whole World is Mixing – 3 min.

Russell Peters – Accents – 4 min.

Well, how do you feel now?

Are your sides still hurting from laughing?

One of the most read sections of “The Readers Digest” is still: “Laughter is the best medicine”…

Now take your dose of funny and laugh – you will feel better immediately!

Make a concerted effort to get out and see some comedians live…Or at least watch the comedy channel on TV…

If you can’t make any of that…there is a fall election in the works for us Canadians – I’ll bet that there will be allot of comedic stuff going on…
