Download or read book Half Lived Life written by John Lee and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2011-12-20 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “So this is my life? What happened to the person I thought I might be at this stage of the game? Where did that person go? Why am I feeling like I’m just treading water, trying to stay one step ahead of my bills and obligations. Anyway, I’m just too tired at this point to try to figure out where that other person went. But I sure expected to be living a different life than this one.” Most people in their forties, fifties, and beyond catch themselves saying something similar to this. Everyone has a mental image of the person they want to be, but few of us actually fulfill these wishes. Once people realize they are living a completely different life than they’d envisioned, they often think it is too late to change and carry on with the same old habits. Too many people settle for a half-lived life. Best-selling author John Lee has long been addressing the fallacy of this attitude in talks and workshops—and now he sets this program into book form. In The Half-Lived Life, he introduces and explains how passivity holds us hostage to old ways of doing things—and provides solutions on escaping this paralyzing state of mind, body, and spirit while increasing our emotional intelligence (EQ). He also shows the freedom to be gained via compassionate assertiveness—an outgrowth of setting boundaries and enforcing limits. Just as Lee’s seminars have successfully led many to find their authentic self in the second half of their life, so too will this book.

Download or read book Awaken Your Authentic Self written by Tony Fahkry and published by Tony Fahkry. This book was released on 2017-03-17 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Complete acceptance of our identity is central to our way of life, given every interaction emerges from our authentic self. The Dalai Lama said it puzzled him why so many people in the West suffer from low self-esteem and lack of acceptance. Our personal needs are met when we honor our authentic self. The media’s influence portrays a fictitious world that doesn’t meet our needs. We are inundated with information to convince us of a news story we can’t live without. Yet, we are no better off because we avoid realizing our own authenticity. 'Awaken Your Authentic Self' is a book to reconnect you with the core of your essential self. It is a move away from whom you should be espoused by popular culture. The book invites you to reconnect with the deepest part of your being which knows who you are and how you should live. We are encoded with the DNA to thrive. Yet, through cultural conditioning and paradigms, we lose our place to the pull of our external environment. We subscribe to ideologies and beliefs regarding who we should be because we want to be accepted. This comes at a cost to our self-worth since we give up an aspect of ourselves and lose our authenticity. However, standing out has become a rite of passage insofar as the clothes one wears, hair color, body piercings and decorations. It may be viewed as a show of defiance instead of a proclamation of distinction. You have more power than you realize. More genius than you can imagine. More wisdom and knowledge than you can ever access. This is not a patronizing statement to seduce you into a false belief. You have unlimited power, and accessing that power is the basis to 'Awaken Your Authentic Self.' When you let go of the false belief that you are lacking or inadequate, in that moment you arouse your potential. Who you are today results from your beliefs, thoughts, and ideas of the world. Unless you challenge the status quo, you remain one of the masses. One has only look to mainstream culture to see the effects the media and marketing hype have on our society. We are drawn into a fictitious way of life at the expense of our sanity and earned dollars.

Download or read book Self written by Kevin Everett Fitzmaurice and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2013-03-25 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about the form, nature, and structure of the human self. The form, nature, and structure of being human is explored as a way for you to redirect to and re-own your true self. The states of being of your natural self are explored as a way to help you to retreat to and return to your true nature. The functions of self are explored as a way to help you to rediscover and reinforce your original self in action, awareness, and experience. This book provides you with knowledge and directions for rediscovering and being your natural self. You can discover and understand what real self is and what real self is not. You can discover how to focus on states of being that promote your authentic self. Read and re-read this book to discover how to recognize and redirect your awareness and identity to your natural child-self. Learn to encourage original self states of being rather than ego states of being. Become aware of how to avoid the blocks and habits that work against awareness of your real self. Know what environments and conditioning inhibit or deny your true self so that you can uproot, switch from, and replace them. Make the right space in your life for authentic self, and authentic self will be revealed for you and rediscovered by you. Self is not something that can be found, because self is not any thing. If you seek what is not lost, then it becomes lost. If you seek on a false path, then all you find is false. When seeking true self, you do not want to seek something, or you will find something. Self is not a concept, description, idea, image, label, term, thought, type, or personality. Self is not a collection of characteristics, habits, tendencies, or traits. Self is a living reality that can only be experienced. Self is not composed of thinking; therefore, self cannot be found with thinking, cannot be found as thinking, and can never be known with thinking. You must learn what to seek before you begin seeking or your seeking will mislead you. You will find what you seek. "Seek and ye shall find," says Matthew 7:7. Therefore, seek your real self by learning about and contacting your real self in your daily life. Your real self is with you now. Your real self is neither lost nor dead. Rediscover your authentic self in your experience and emotions. Find your original self in action. Then seek to redirect your attention and identity to your natural self in all that you do. You want to seek in the right direction or area. You want to seek fish in the ocean, not in the desert. You want to use the right tools. You want to eat an apple with a knife, not a spoon. Use this book for a path and direction back to your self. Use this book for the tools it provides for just being again. Right knowledge and right practice will guide you to re-owning your original nature. Combine right knowledge with right practice and become whole again. You can seek self as self, not as concept, image, tendency, title, trait, or type. This book boldly presents the beliefs of FitzMaurice regarding self. It is impossible for these beliefs not to include some of FitzMaurice's beliefs regarding God and spirits. You are free to reject, modify, or accept the beliefs presented as you see fit. Likewise, FitzMaurice retains all of his rights for freedom of belief, speech, and expression. While this book is designed to stand alone, you might find it more easily digested if you first read FitzMaurice's Ego.

Thousands of parents attest to the "magical" benefits of summer camp for their kids, noting their children return more joyful, positive, confident, and resilient after just a few weeks.

Download or read book A Weekend to Change Your Life written by Joan Anderson and published by Harmony. This book was released on 2007-04-10 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New York Times bestselling author Joan Anderson gives women practical advice and inspiration for building creative, independent, and fulfilling lives through discovering who they truly are and who they can be. Like Julia Cameron’s The Artist’s Way, Joan Anderson’s bestselling A Year by the Sea revealed a far larger than expected constituency, in the form of thousands of women struggling to realize their full potential. After years of focusing on the needs of others as a wife and mother, Anderson devoted a year to rediscovering herself and reinvigorating her dreams. The questions she asked herself and the insights she gained became the core of the popular weekend workshops Anderson developed to help women figure out how—after being all things to all people—they can finally become what they need to be for themselves. A Weekend to Change Your Life brings Anderson’s techniques to women everywhere, providing a step-by-step path readers can follow at their own pace. Drawing on her own life and on the experiences of the women she meets at her workshops, Anderson shows women how to move beyond the roles they play in relationship to others and reclaim their individuality. Through illustrations and gentle instruction, she illuminates the rewards of nurturing long-neglected talents, revitalizing plans sacrificed to the demands of family life, and redefining oneself by embracing new possibilities. Wake Up, Sister. It’s Your Turn A full life requires cultivation. The minute we take our hands off the plow, fail to reseed, forget to fertilize, we’ve lost our crop. And yet, most women I know, while in the service of some greater good have let their very lives wilt on the vine. Having been taught the fine art of accommodation, most of us have developed a knack for selfless behavior. We’ve dulled our personal lives while propping up everyone else’s, and we’re no longer able even to imagine having any sort of adventure, romance, meaning, or purpose for ourselves. In short, we’ve gotten way off track and taken the wrong road to self-satisfaction, foolishly thinking that after all of the doing, giving, trying, and overworking someone will offer us a reward. But Prince Charming was a bad joke and all the fairy godmothers are dead. Instead of happy ever after, most of us end up with the ache. We wake up each day with an inner gnawing, a hunger for more, a craving for an overhaul, but we are too listless, tired, or depressed to do anything about it. We have spent the greater part of our lives pouring ourselves out like a pitcher. No wonder we feel so empty. But we lack the necessary energy, a helpful roadmap, and any type of guidance and support. Well, it’s time to change all of that. —From A Weekend to Change Your Life

Download or read book Finding Your True Self written by Billy D Manus, II and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2023-03-15 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why do I need to find my true self? Finding your true self allows you to live an authentic life that empowers you to become a better and more positive form of yourself. Discovering your actual self is a personal path that involves introspection, self-reflection, and self-discovery. Each individual's experiences, beliefs, values, and personality attributes define their identity. As a result, the process of self-discovery is very individualized and subjective. Moreover, social expectations, cultural standards, and peer pressure may all have an impact on an individual's self-perception, making it difficult to distinguish between their genuine self and the image they display to the world. As a result, the road to discovering one's actual self necessitates breaking free from outside influences and connecting with one's deepest thoughts and feelings. Additionally, the process of self-discovery is continual and ever-changing; as people grow and develop, their priorities, values, and beliefs may evolve, resulting in a transformation in identity. As a result, discovering one's inner self necessitates a consistent effort to investigate and comprehend oneself, making it a highly unique and individual journey. The following are the book's key concepts: Self-awareness: is the examination of one's true self. Authenticity: investigates the principles of honesty in your daily life. Acceptance: investigates how you accept yourself and your role in the larger world. Growth: enables you to go from seed to full blossom by reading the book and doing the tasks it provides. Connection: enables your evolution to continue outside of yourself and onto other individuals you would not have met otherwise. The following are the book's features: Around 30 pages of Understanding Your Actual Self via various writing assignments Approximately 15 pages of learning how to Overcome Hurdles to discovering your actual self Around 30 pages of advice on the Obstacles You May Face and How to Defeat Them About 40 pages of information on how to develop a Healthy Abundance Mindset and improve your general view and path in life At the end of the book, there are ten Reflective Questions regarding your journey to discover your actual self Finding one's authentic self is a search that can last a person's whole life, and it can manifest itself in a wide variety of ways during the course of that existence. It's possible that our goals, values, and beliefs may change as we continue to mature and develop, and that this will need us to reevaluate who we are and what we hope to achieve in this life. It is essential to keep in mind that discovering one's own self is not about arriving at a certain destination or accomplishing a predetermined objective. Instead, it is a process of coming to know oneself and discovering new things about oneself, which calls for continual contemplation, introspection, and investigation of oneself. While one's search for self may never end, each step is important. Every incident, hardship, and failure may be a chance to grow, learn, and understand ourselves and the world. The path of discovering one's actual self is, in the end, a profoundly private and unique experience for each person, and there is no universally applicable solution to the question of when or how it will come to a close. The important thing is to have an open mind, maintain a sense of curiosity, and be prepared to accept change and progress as natural components of the trip. Let "Finding Your True Self: A Guide to Discovering Your Authentic Self and Living a Fulfilling Life," assist you on your life's journey today!
