Marie T. Russell's Daily Inspiration
The focus for today is: I choose to stop taking myself so seriously.
A lot of us think of meditation as something austere or serious... definitely not something we'd do for fun.

But while we need to be sincere, we do not need to be serious. And, a lot of troubles in the world are based on various people taking themselves, and their beliefs, way too seriously.
Inspired from the InnerSelf.com article:
