Men evolved from apes - or so said Charles Darwin. Or did he? Not only didn't Darwin claim that men evolved from apes, but neither is he the inventor of the theory of evolution. More later...
One of the natural outgrowths of evolution's popularity has been the phrase "survival of the fittest." It would be hard to argue that homo sapiens are not the fittest species on our planet right now; we certainly dominate the Earth. But why?
Many might have you believe we dominate because of our opposable thumbs. We can grasp tools because of those thumbs. But, while I'm certainly grateful for my thumbs (couldn't disco-dance without 'em and they make a great target when I'm hammering nails), our hegemony is derived from an even more powerful source.
What really sets humans apart from other animals is our self-awareness. We have a unique ability to detach ourselves from our emotions and objectively evaluate our circumstances. Unlike other animals, we are not ruled by our emotions!
Even more important than allowing detachment, our self-awareness makes our most amazing asset possible - our sense of humor. By temporarily, even if only figuratively, removing ourselves from a particular set of circumstances, we are able to find the absurdity in it and be amused by it. When we cultivate this type of amusement, we are capable of powerful mental, emotional, and physical health; we become mentally, spiritually, and physically self-actualized.
This phenomena is exactly why people fluent with my Fun Factor prescription report such amazing results to me. You begin to move in social and professional circles with ease and confidence you've only dreamed of. People become attracted to you without quite being able to figure out why.
But you'll know why - the self-confidence and self-esteem of my patients and clients literally explodes when they begin to fuel their self-awareness with The Fun Factor! And the best part is that I teach it to you FOR FREE! My doctor's orders are waiting for you on my website.
Incidentally, what Darwin actually proposed, in his Origin of the Species, was that man and ape shared a common ancestor. In addition, the theory of evolution can be traced all the way back to the ancient Greeks. Darwin didn't even coin the phrase, "survival of the fittest." That was Herbert Spencer.
What Darwin did do was assemble an incredible body of evidence to support the preexisting theory of evolution. Continue your own personal evolution at my website today.
