Hello
How to Be Happy Right Now, by
"Listening Very Carefully" to Me
By Cliff Kuhn, M.D.

"One of the most tragic things I know about
human nature is that all of us tend to put off
living. We are all dreaming of some
magical rose garden over the horizon -
instead of enjoying the roses that are
blooming outside our window today." Dale
Carnegie, the author of How to Win Friends
and Influence People and a successful person
by any measure, said that. You know how
true his words are, but I need to correct
one thing he said. I'll explain shortly...
What are you waiting for? What is your
excuse for not being happy today? I know
the feeling well - you're looking forward to
how great you'll feel about yourself, and
how happy you'll be, as soon as you have
enough time, money, success, possessions,
etc. I know the feeling well because I was
doomed to this pain on an almost daily
basis. I'll explain how I escaped this fate
in a moment.
Picture me...living each day with a vague
unease that I am missing something. Dwelling
on the missing things I "need" to be happy
and worrying about how to get them. Worse
still, having a general sense of dread that
I will never get the things I "need" to be
happy.
Does this ring a bell for you?
Yet it gets worse. Empathize with me
growing steadily angrier and more resentful
with each passing day because I'm not happy
yet. I have a wife, a family, a great job,
a nice house, cars, vacations, prestige,
etc. I acquire each of these things with
the "understanding" that my elusive
happiness will finally arrive. Where is my
happiness, dammit?!
Does that sound at all familiar?
Actually, it gets worse. My unease, dread,
anger, and resentment only get worse as my
happiness remains forever "just ahead." I
am soon experiencing depression, isolation,
mood swings, and I am drinking to cover up
my pain. I am not the happy, successful,
well-known doctor, civic figure, husband,
and father you see from the outside. What
saves me from my personal hell? I'll tell
you in a minute...
You're more fortunate than I. I didn't have
The Fun Times to tell me that there is
another way to live. I had to hit rock
bottom before I found the answers sitting
right in my backyard.
What was in my backyard? My patients. My
worst-case, terminally ill patients, taught
me how to turn my life around. While I was
suffering, surrounded by everything a man
could want, they were thriving with chronic
illnesses and terminal diagnoses.
What did they teach me? The taught me about
the amazing natural medicine of humor. And
I, in turn, created a prescription which
saved my life - and has changed the lives of
hundreds since. The Fun Factor.
The The Fun Factor works for people in the worst
of circumstances. And it also works for
people like you and me, who don't have a
terminal illness but still want help being
more happy and less stressed.
Don't put off your happiness. Use my Fun
Commandment, Listen Very Carefully, to
provide yourself the tools, and ample
motivation, to be happy today. Why does
Listening Very Carefully work? This Fun
Commandment makes it nearly impossible to
look ahead because careful listening keeps
you rooted in the moment. And this moment
is where all the fun is!
Dale Carnegie, by the way, is a personal
role model, but I must correct one thing he
says. He calls your tendency to "put
off living", your "human nature." He is
wrong. Your human nature, or humor nature
as I call it, is to live freely and happily
in the moment. You learn to put off living
as you grow up and are indoctrinated, by
well-intentioned misinformers, into the ways
of "serious" adulthood.
Do you ever seen a child put off living? Me
neither! Reclaim your birthright. Don't
put off a darn thing; remember to use The
The Fun Factor to be happy right now!
