Laughing at Ourselves
A good measure of self-kindness is our ability to laugh at ourselves. Self-judgment will have us beat up on ourselves.
Yesterday I locked myself out which required Kendrick to drive across town and bring another key. Although I did not enjoy inconveniencing him, I did not beat up on myself. (Years ago, I certainly would have beat up on myself.) I even laughed some at my absent-minded mistake.
We should be able to laugh at ourselves because sometimes we are pretty darn funny.
Much Love,
Jonathan
