Paige 194 without a sense of humor, life can be colorless, a terrible burden. With it, we enjoy the process of living. We have none we have more joy to share with others. And we might even live longer with less stress and health problems.

In the book
This is the creative act itself: bringing a little chaos into order is exactly what flow and creativity feel like from the inside. Keep the lighter instruments close. Carry a sense of humor — without it, the flight is a colorless burden; with it, you actually enjoy the flying and have more to share with the others in your formation. And turn compassion, not just judgment, on yourself: the one who only looks inward finds chaos, and the one who looks with the cold eye of criticism finds only flaws, but the one who looks with understanding finds her way through. — Takeoff Into Chaos
