Use the Laughter
Okay, this is a first. I'm sharing a link with you that is just plain funny. Oh, don't get me wrong there is of course a message here, but for the most part it's just me sharing some humor. As I started to write this, knowing that I haven't really used humor in my messaging before, I had to stop and wonder if I was inspired by the Easter service I attended this weekend. It started out like most of the services I'm sure many of you attended. Crowded. A mix of "regulars" and only those who come out for special occasions, but overall a fairly typical church service with a group of fairly disparate people for whom the minister, pastor or priest addresses with a message. Not an easy job.
So on this Easter Sunday the priest chose to use humor. It worked. The joke captured everyone's attention (except the crying babies and fidgeting toddlers of course), who listened and then laughed at the punch line. Of course the priest weaved the joke into the message he wanted to deliver, but what I found really interesting was when he explained why he used it. People relax and are better receptors when something makes them laugh. And he's absolutely right! Solid research shows that when people laugh together, they not only enjoy themselves and get pumped up with the body's feel good chemicals, but they are more receptive to new ideas. If you watched it I hope you're laughing like I did. (A special thanks to my friend David for sharing). If you didn't click on the link, you might have a harder time with what I'm going to say. Embracing, not just considering, new ideas and technologies is vital to our personal and business growth. Intellectually we know that is true. The problem is that most of us as we mature in our careers just don't stay open minded, and so we start to "gray". And I'm not talking about our hair. I'm certainly not professing that just because something is new that it's good. Quite the opposite. What I'm saying is in order to stay young and to stay relevant you need to think critically. Being able to think critically is vital to being open-minded and in our quickly changing technological world, it's important to keep an open mind just to keep up. So while you're in an open mindset from the increased endorphins, make a commitment to look at something in a new light this week. Pick something that you have a fairly strong opinion about and analyze it by weighing the "other" side. Look into becoming open to change your views with the new facts. If it helps in this process, feel free to revert back to the video link above. It may give you the edge you need!
