Did you ever do something so stupid that you just have to laugh at yourself? Recently we were spending the night in a hotel room during a trip. When we heard a knock on the door I peered through the peephole but couldn’t see a thing. “This peephole doesn’t work” I told my wife Sharon.
Whereupon she burst out laughing uncontrollably, as she pointed out there was a little metal cover over the opening to prevent visitors from seeing inside. All you have to do is slide the cover up. I can’t imagine why I couldn’t figure that out in the moment, and my ignorance struck me even funnier than it did Sharon. We both laughed til our sides hurt.
Never take yourself too seriously. And if you do or say something embarrassing or ridiculous, just own it and laugh along with the crowd. It happens to all of us. This, too, shall pass.
I love that you were able to laugh at yourself. I, too, have learnrd this.
