I said, almost nervously, I think my fingers were mumbling, "What is cyber sex"? She said, "You know, sex on a computer". I said, "Well, I guess it’s ok unless you fall off". True story.

I tell you this because today I’ve gone from a total "know nothing" to running two full time businesses in cyberspace. I am a popular recording artist and have just completed my first album and working on my second. Yea, I just had to plug that.

And, I have a full time Internet Marketing business. But, don’t we all? Ha! Music is my passion, and internet business gives me flexibility to pursue my passion. In fact, I’m writing an article on discovering your passion. Most people don’t even know what their passion is.

So, hardest thing in cyberspace you’ll ever do is programming your mind to stop sabotaging your own efforts.

Action is key to overcoming all sorts of non-understandable theory, ideas and concepts. Find ONE thing in program, focus on that until you feel confident to move to next one. I got news for you........you’ll never completely understand all theories and concepts until you do begin to take action.

Then, and only then, will things begin to fall into place. So, next time you find yourself sitting in front of your computer screen doing nothing, at least clean booger off your nose. It might get messy, but at least you'll be doing something. :>)

Here are some easy things that everyone can do to get out of a slump. Everybody wants something easy. Here it is.

* Most Important, Realize that slumps will inevitably come. They are just part of life. They are as dependable as sun rising and setting. * Also know that following every slump, will come days of feasting. Just as certain.

*Next... if your wife happens to lock herself out of house at 2 am, and she is yelling and screaming at front door, and your dog is barking like crazy at back door, DON'T let dog in first, I don't care if he will shut up once he gets in. That's a BAD move. And not good strategy for getting out of a slump.

*Ok, I put that last paragraph in there to lighten you up a little.

* It is very important to take life's problems with proper mindset. If you can laugh at a slump, I guarantee you it will end sooner than you think.

*If you are prepared to laugh all way through it, it won't last very long. If you're not willing to laugh all way through it, it may take a long time to go through it.

I have proved all these strategies out on myself, even one about wife and dog, yeah, really, and I tell you from 20 years of hard knocks what works and what don't. Maybe that's why I'm single today. Hmmm. Only women really know for sure. :>)

Can you avoid a slump? Not really. But you can laugh your way through it. I promise you if you will force yourself to laugh, your body and mind will get hint and then your inner emotions will really begin to make you feel like you are in control.

If you really want to know facts, that's problem with slumps. We feel like we are not in control. And that is scary. But feelings are fickle. They come and go with wind. So, feelings that are created by outward circumstances can be changed by laughing yourself silly.

Try it, You'll like it.
