Many of our every-day problems can suddenly turn into comedy, so long as we have the right mindset. If you end up experiencing an over-the-top terrible experience, try to imagine your life as if you are the main character in a comedy movie. Maybe it will help.

For example, I went to see Avengers: Endgame in theaters, and the guy sitting next to me snuck in a pint of ice cream, fell asleep, and snored the entire movie. I could have chosen to be annoyed and angry that this man’s snoring was ruining my expensive movie-going-experience, but I actually thought it was hilarious. It is a story I have told multiple times to people since that night.
