Why Humor is Your Greatest Teacher

"It all starts with a SMILE"

I sometimes refer to my Fun Factor method as a way to take
personal responsibility, using humor. But I don't describe it
like that often. And I feel like I'm taking a risk by doing it
here!

Why?

Because taking personal responsibility for your life can be
scary. The reality of our popular culture is that we are
virtually taught that things outside of us will provide us with
what we want. And, since what we all really want is love and
acceptance, you naturally look outside of yourself for those
things too.

All you have to do is turn on your television or walk out your
front door, for that matter. You will see images screaming at
you; promising you that you can finally feel safe and happy if
you simply use their products. Growing up in America makes it
tough to escape the belief that we depend on things outside of
us for our good feelings.

The reason humor is so effective at helping you shed that
paradigm of victimhood is that it is all internal. Think about
it - no one can make you laugh or smile. You have to decide to
do it; you have to be willing to access that part of yourself
and set it free.

It's true. If you're not willing, you could be watching the
funniest movie ever made or listening to the funniest comedian
to ever perform and you will not crack a smile! That's right. Your
humor comes from inside, not outside!

So if you've been appling my Fun Factor prescription, you're
already well on your way to complete freedom. Just like nothing
is "funny" or "unfunny" without your decision, nothing is "good"
or "bad" without your decison either! Once you've learned how
to make the decision to find gentle humor and lightness in
everything, you can also begin to make the decision to find
blessings and gratitude in everything.

It's a logical progression. The tools translate very well. And
humor will continue to provide you with the bouancy to get you
through the tougher times.

See, you're not just learning how to have more fun and less
stress. You're also learning a model of self-actualization
which you can apply to all areas of your life. And I'll be
proud to continue to assist you on your journey!
