Life's too short to get all serious and miss out on having a good time. So take some time today to let loose, throw yourself a dance party and laugh your "BUT" off!

I want you to watch this video anytime you want to feel good.

Warning: This video has been known to make people laugh uncontrollably. You've been warned ;)

"The most wasted of all days is one without laughter." -E.E. Cummings

Love life,

Sean :)

P.S. I'd love to see your dance party in action! Feel free to upload a video to YouTube and drop the link in the comment box below... don't be shy! ;)

    Hi Sean,
    I have taken some time going through your work and I believe that you'd
    make a great interview subject for James Rick (Mr. Full Potential) his
    site is FullPotential.com. He would be doing the interview via Skype
    (video & audio, or if you don't have a web cam we can do just audio)
    and will include it on one of his shows. The interview will be fast
    paced but you will be furnished with questions in advance.

    Please take a moment to visit FullPotential.com to see a sample of the
    Full Potential Show and confirm you would like to do the interview.
    James Rick will provide you with a copy or embed code of the interview
    to share with your members as well.Hope to hear from you soon.

    Warm Regards,

    laughter is a great medicine. so keep laughing. ha ha ha......

    Joke:-

    Before marriage....
    He: Yes. At last. It was so hard to wait.
    She: Do you want me to leave?
    He: No! Don't even think about it.
    She: Do you love me?
    He: Of course! Over and over!
    She: Have you ever cheated on me?
    He: No! Why are you even asking?
    She: Will you kiss me?
    He: Every chance I get.
    She: Will you hit me?
    He: Are you crazy! I'm not that kind of person!
    She: Can I trust you?
    He: Yes.
    She: Darling!

    After marriage....

    Simply read from bottom to top.

    My girls and I silly dance sometimes even wearing silly clothes to match the dance era.
    Thanks for reminding adults how important it is to release ourselves from the seriousness of life!
    As my girls would say, "You rock!"

    Laughter and dance is really a great medicine and accessible to everyone - and this is for free. It doesn't matter whether we have a good condition, no matter how old we are.
    If we turn on good music, our body catches the rhythm and starts to move.
    Let we live according to nature.

    Thanks Sean for a wonderful dance and laughter lesson!

    Thank you for spreading the good life and saying the things that need to be said that need to be heard.

    It's a beautiful sunny day here over in North East England and all the better for five minutes dancing around my living room,

    Love and hugs

    Thank you Sean! I giggled the whole time.
    But I have to let you in on a secret, I do this every, several times a day....you see, I have a 6 month old and my new goal in life is to laugh with her everyday. We dance in the grocery store, waiting in the doctors office, at home, on the sidewalk...anywhere!

    Sadly, it took me 34 years to figure out what life is really about and I'm forever grateful that this gift, this little person in my life, gave me my greatest lesson.

    Dear Sean,I don't think you're crazy.It makes me laugh and happy to see you happy.Last week, I had the toughest moment in my life.I didn't know what to do.All I did was the same what you're doing.close my doors,put the loud music and dance and dance in my bed as I couldn't move with back pain.I forget all those pain and problems I had.In the evening, my Dad phone me asked me how I was doing and I did explain to him that I was dancing.He was laughing and laughing. After so many years, I heard my dad's laughing voice.
    I love you so much and I was missing you for a while. Good work Sean,keep it up.You're an amazing child of God. I wish you all the happiness in the world for you.I'm praying for you to keep this way, happy and cheering with others. You have touched and helping many human's soul, including mine.Lol.

    Hey Sean,

    thank you for this video! I danced along with you and actually shed some tears from laughing so hard.

    I'm giving a speech at my Toastmasters club tonight about your book. It's project #5 "Your Body Speaks". So maybe I'll incorporate a little dance party at the end. Can't imagine a better way to make your body speak.

    Much love and big hugs,
    Joachim
