Book Cover & Preview Text
In order to develop and understand You, you must
learn to be confident and free yourself from fear and insecurities. Stop
limiting your potential, because this will limit your achievement. You must
have the strong belief and faith in you that you are a winner and you will
achieve your goals according to your own level of potential. You must develop
perseverance.
Learn to first love yourself. There are so many
people who do not love themselves. When you don’t love yourself you experience
emotional, mental, spiritual and social breakdowns. When a person has
self-rejection and self-hatred he/she carries darkness around and takes it into
marriage, parenting, career, social life, and/or school. You can never get away
from you, so learn to accept you, change you and love you.
Everyone can use improvement from time to time in
his/her self-image and reactions. Traditionally, some people are mainly
reactive; they respond reflexively and automatically to pressures and demands
by either fight or flight.
As the world changes, we need to change ourselves
and start focusing on a positive direction. The new emerging view of the person begins with self-observation. We need not to
react to the pressures and demands. We have the ability to accept and
respond to demands with a more positive and productive approach.
Human beings can react in many ways to their present
circumstances in response to pressure and change. When pressures build up,
instead of reacting to them in a contentious and rebellious manner, we need to
first calm down, think and walk away.
We also have the capacity to plan, to consider
alternatives and to take on things new and different. It’s better to walk away
than stand there and respond to the confrontation with arguing and boasting.
You can learn to control your quick temper by
beginning to know yourself. Some of us don’t know who we are. You must know
whom you are and love whom you are if you want to succeed in life. You may not
like the way you are now, but you have the total control to make the choice to change
what you don’t like about you. Take the first step in developing a productive
and positive you. Let the old baggage of life go. Learn to forgive, accept what
you cannot change, get over past hurts and disappointments and move forward.
Keeping old baggage around turns into more unwanted problems.
Ask yourself these questions: How do you value your
life? How do you value other people’s lives?
“A man’s mind may be likened to a garden, which may be intelligently cultivated or allowed to run wild.” James Allen

About the Book
Just by picking this book up, I assume you are ready to take your life to the next level. Congratulations, because you are ready to break though the limitations of the past. Come and journey with me as I share true-life stories of my life and the life of others. Through these humorous stories we share some of the strategies and tools of how you can take charge of your life, career and accept the spirit within you. What makes us human, that we can love, think, laugh, hurt and cry. We all have a past, present and in some ways a future. But do you really know you? I invite you to start a journey of life’s adventures as you explore and see familiar territory of various examples of how people can get caught up in the moment as they journey through their life. Each day presents a new challenge, and every challenge has many opportunities. We control our destiny as we journey through life. Your life is how you confront and master your self-limiting beliefs, stress, self-esteem, self-confidence, attitudes, behaviors, and the spirit in you. Getting Caught Up in The Moment As You Journey Through Life can destroy or make whom you are. Your attitude is your attitude, but you don’t have to let it control your altitude as you journey through your life. Journey through and see how other people learned to eliminate the enemies of abuse, neglect, stress, self-esteem, self-confidence, attitude, and change by starting to transform a new life. You will read experiences of another person’s life that may have occurred in your life. Some of us think that we are the only ones that get caught up in the moment and not realizing that we are not alone as we travel the journey. It is your destiny to read this book; it is your destiny to be here at this particular moment as it was mind to write it. Getting Caught Up in the Moment can last for a moment, years or a lifetime. Your moment is how long you were caught up in the learning cycle of life.
