Toilet paper is fairly important unless you carry a gallon water jug into the restroom or use the sink. But what if something better - say, a self-lubricating rotating cordless sponge came along? Everyone would rush out and buy one. We like improvements but when it comes to putting the fun back in life many of us are unwilling to change.

Fighting through the local grocery store checkout line - longing for a cattle prod - I got to thinking, "Can a person really change and will the IRS find out?" After extensive Internet research I figured, "Of course. You need to file form 4338B, being sure to carry the total from column 4R and adding the approximate value of any currently lost luggage." But don't let that stop you from making a personal change. Using my carefully chosen techniques and strategies that include a lot of easy to spell, single syllable words you'll quickly experience positive results.

The process I'll describe took me grueling weeks to figure out. Endless hours trying to make sense of prepositional phrases and pie charts. It's an odorless, painless, and flavorless adventure where blow darts are shot into the buttocks randomly selected U.S. senators until you release all your pent up humor. Hey, it'd be worth a try! Actually, the process uses two steps:
1. Getting you mentally ready to find the a positive perspective, and
2. Practicing behavioral change techniques that alter your reaction to daily events.

It'll cause you to take time to reflect on who you are, what truly unique attributes you have at your disposal, and techniques for living your life in a positive way. Contrary to many of the ridiculous self-help books on the market, you can't get there by just thinking yourself into a better frame of mind. Now, I'm not saying there aren't benefits to "thinking" you can improve but changes won't take place without practicing in real-life situations.

The brain is amazing - try locating the basil ganglia and amygdala at your neighborhood supermarket meat counter. It's okay to poke it. What's it going to do, bite you? Lack of humor and positive outlook is the brain's fault. Negative programming that happens right after the doctor slaps the behind and says, "Has anyone seen my chocolate latte? I had it just a minute ago." Obviously, after years of the wrong conditioning, re-programming is going to take time and dedication.

Getting your mind to think differently - more positively - can push your comfort zone. At first, I constantly got confused, lost, unable to furnish the policeman with my name and that of my female escort. But I got better.

Many of the self-help books out there are full of gimmicks and cute little phrases like, "All Rights Reserved" and "Printed in the United States." These really didn't transform me the way I had hoped. Yet, I was able to steal a bunch of stuff for this site. Couple that with small, Latin-based words and no wonder my eighth-grade English teacher looked like a bulldog.

Don't worry, this site is free -- unlike other online self-help sites trying to sell stuff like DVDs, videos, books, leather living room set, and other "waste-of-money" products that'll only make you feel like a cheap prom date. I'll kid around about wanting money but material possessions can no longer satisfy me. My only goal is for you to find helpful information that'll create a more positive, fun-loving you.
