Laugh, and the world laughs with you…

.
When we are happy, it seems everybody around us is happy also. When we smile, people around us have a tendency to start smiling. In other words, laugh and the world laughs with you!

When we are happy, humming, or even singing and dancing along, chances are that we are in tune with the Universe. On top of being happy, because we are in tune, everything we do seems to fit. There is exactly enough time to do our shopping, and when we are ready to check out, we will find ourselves to be the first in line at the register. When we make a phone call for information, we get the right person on the line right away ~ and this person answers all of our questions to our satisfaction. When we are driving some place we have to get to, all of the traffic lights turn green as we approach…
As those things happen, they can make us even more happy!

In a sense when we get ‘in the groove’ in this manner, it is not only the world who laughs with us; it is the Universe itself that is laughing with us, encouraging us to keep going and to unfold our greatest potentials and our wildes dreams.

The second part of the saying is more gloomy. ‘Cry, and you will cry alone’.
The moments when nothing seems to fit, and the whole world seems to conspire against us ~ it is often a clear sign that we are out of tune. Out of touch with ourselves and (therefore) with the Universe.
When that happens it affects our timing, as well as the amount of energy it takes to get things done. It is something that is all the more frustrating when we look around us and see the rest of the world smoothly moving along, without any problems ~ which in turn can give us a sense of being utterly alone.

Whether we are laughing or crying is ~ up to a point ~ a choice we have. We may not always in control of the situations we find ourselves in; we are always in control of how we react to them. And the more balanced our reactions, the more smoothly our lives tend to move along.
Also it is important to act on the factual aspects of the situations we find ourselves in, rather than there emotional counterparts. Dealing with the facts as we see them at that moment will help us to make decisions in such a way that our balance is enhanced.

All these things together determine whether the Universe is smiling upon us. Whether we are laughing with the world around us…
