Book Cover & Preview Text
You are not adrift in the Sea of Life. In the best way, your life is up to you.
That may sound like news of freedom to you, or feel like a daunting responsibility. Either way, in our lives there are important and exciting ways to create a life that that is meaningful to us, that we will love to live, one where we are active and feel happy and fulfilled, no matter where we are starting from today.
And you are the right person to do it for yourself. This book holds ideas and methods that I learned on the adventure of my life, what no one ever told me about talents, interests, choice and intention, including truths I definitely learned the hard way. No one ever told me, no one was even talking about it for me to overhear, I never knew these ideas and techniques existed or were real; yet somehow I had a gut feeling that there was more to life than people were talking about in my schools, jobs and family. I’m not talking about something that was simply in some other city, I’m talking about things here, now and today in your life that you can use to create a happy and fulfilling life.
Look around you. There are people who live their whole lives in jobs or relationships they don’t enjoy, simply reacting to what happens around them, over-eating or drinking out of boredom or to assuage pain, and not making their own choices. They live like anchorless ships adrift at sea, reacting to the winds, storms, and doldrums of life.
Do you feel some longing or discontent with your life today, or with where it looks like you’re headed?
If you start paying attention to what really matters to you, if you notice what comes your way and consider if it fits into what you want for yourself, if you choose things that make you happy, you can create yourself a great life. Maybe you already know what you want to do for paid work, fun, interests, and to fix problems you notice. And maybe you don’t. Either way, what you will discover in these chapters are ideas and techniques for building a life where you wake up happy, healthy, and fulfilled.
And the best part is that you can start from exactly the point in your life that you are at today. No matter what that seems like to you right now.
