The Laughtertude Club: Laughter and a Good Attitude, A Winning Combination!

Are you annoyed by rude, ungrateful people? What are they so angry about?  When you are cut off on the highway or sassed by a store clerk do you walk away cursing them under your breath or do you find yourself praying for God to bring them a tiny bit of Joy? It makes sense to me that if you don’t do anything to fix a problem, you may be part of the problem.

I’ve got a few people in my life who annoy me. They have bad attitudes. They complain about everything. They are rude. I pray for them all – even the ones I don’t particularly like. I’ve been praying for the same souls for years with no visible change. Then lo and behold… miracles. Suddenly the hateful neighbor is a joy to be around, the rude clerk actually gave me a smile and the family member who will go nameless, actually was grateful for something yesterday. I almost fell off my chair. What happened? When you pray for someone you are wishing them well. I think simply sending good wishes their way day after day, month after month and in some cases year after year, they were able to feel that love and move out of their misery.  It’s just a theory. However it happened, my life is easier now that the people around me are happier. Their attitude toward life changed by receiving a friendly smile when they didn’t deserve it, a reassuring hug after a barrage of complaints or a consistent wish for happiness silently sent.

I thought hmmmmmmm… if this works, we could change the world! So here’s my plan. Join me in my quest to make this world a more joy-filled place. Join the LaughterTude Club; a group of people with winning attitudes and sense of humor. Members receive ideas and examples of how to live happier, healthier, more productive lives using humor as an antidote and are reminded to Smile-it-up instead of Stressing-it-out. Members also have to meet a giggle quota, count their blessings and pay it forward every single day in order to stay in the club.

It is my experience that generous, kind-hearted people are not only more successful in business, they are happier people and live longer than their cynical, serious sidekicks. It’s not always easy to be kind or generous to mean spirited people. My advice is to try it and see if you can change the attitude of others simply by being consistently kind, generous and loving toward them. If you are willing to sign on for just six months send me an email at smile@yvonneconte.com with the words LaughterTude in the Subject line.  I will check with you as a group in six months to see if your life has changed any.

On your honor you need to be kind, offer a smile or a helping hand, giggle every day, use your humor skills when stress comes your way and be very grateful for what you have in your life. Oh yes and if you are so inclined, pray for Joy for the people in your life who give you the most grief. I can’t wait to see what happens in six months!
