Humour: Do Some People Use Humour As A Defence Mechanism?

There are a number of things that make life easier to handle on this planet, and being able to laugh is one of them. This ability serves a similar purpose to oil; it allows life to flow that little bit easier.

Without oil, a machine would soon end up seizing up, but while the world probably wouldn't come to a standstill without laughter, it certainly wouldn't be the same. Instead, it would be like living a life that is in black and white.

Being able to laugh, then, will be what gives life that bit of extra sparkle. So, let's say that someone is experiencing a fair amount of stress; they will be able to watch something that will help them to relax.

Life Begins Outside Your Comfort Zone

It was Neale Donald Walsh who quipped, "Life begins at the end of your comfort zone."

He was drawing awareness to move out of our safety zone to experience the richness of life.

Your comfort zone is a safety net where anxiety levels and the status quo are preserved. It is your harbour of contentment.

Mankind has an inherent drive for safety, wired into his DNA to seek food, water and shelter for his survival.

The Top 3 Reasons People Don't Pursue Their Dreams And What To Do About It

We all know someone who has talked about pursuing his or her dream "one day"... could that someone be you?

What stops us from pursuing our dreams? What keeps us procrastinating?

1) Not Enough Money

The number one reason we don't pursue our dreams. We need money to live day-to-day, and the cost of living in most "developed" countries is considerable. We're taught that money + possessions = success. We are encouraged to go into debt to get the things we want. We use credit to buy cars, homes, furniture, education, and vacations. It's the normal approach in our society. When we ponder pursuing our dreams, we wonder how can we afford it? Starting something new, like a business, going back to school, a career change, etc., will require money to make the change, we'll potentially stop making the money we're used to, and it will take some time to re-coup the money spent to make the change. As a result, our debt may increase, while we still have our current debt load and our day-to-day living expenses (and maybe supporting family members).

Success Is As Important As How It Is Achieved

According to Niccolo Machiavelli, "The end justifies the means." Though this expression has become a maxim to many people, it does not excel the test of an ethical examination. A positive end does not justify an evil means; neither does a negative end invalidate a positive means. Success, an end, is as important as the means through which it is achieved. Hence, the end should not be judged in isolation of the means.

Success should not be considered as something complex, as it is visible in the daily and events of life. Success is seen not only in complex and exceptional accomplishments, but also in the simple and ordinary achievements. It is obvious and evident in the common events and activities of life. This is the reason you do not need to look to far to see success, as it is present in the accomplishment of simple goals you set.
