Laughter

Often in life, we can without realising it become serious. Become weighed down by the day-to-day and find ourselves lacking a spring in our step.

There is a simple cure and the simple ones are always the best.

Laughter.

Find a film that makes you laugh or anything that is guaranteed to make you really, genuinely laugh, not just a smile but a real full on laugh.

Laughter releases endorphins and that creates a sense of euphoria and lifts the gloom.

People who laugh a great deal will live longer, be happier and more fun to be with.

So don’t wait, just go and put on the funniest film you can find and just sit and laugh. Even better do it with someone else.

Would you read it?

That piece of content, that email, that newsletter, that Tweet, that Facebook update that you are about to send, would you read it? Will it make a difference?

Would your potential or existing audience read it? Would they miss it if you didn’t send it? Is it going to have a significant enough an impact that they will actually react?

Is it remarkable?

We need to strive to create stuff that would be missed if we didn’t hit send.

Otherwise, it will be lost in billions of updates, emails, Tweets, and content that people pressed send on without that simple check ‘would you read it?’.
